Abstract
To overcome the stream fragmentation and blockage of migration of fishes by dams and weirs, fishways are commonly installed. However, limited studies were conducted for effectiveness and suitability of fishways installed in Korean streams. In this study, we investigated fish usages (by time periods, locations and months) of the Ice Harbor type fishway installed in the Gongju weir using traps. The monitoring were monthly conducted from June to October, 2012. The number of individuals which used fishway in September and October decreased than in June to August. Although no statistical significance was identified, many numbers of species and individuals were occurred at the trap installed at the left end of fishway than others. Fishes of more diverse size classes occurred at this trap as well. The number of collected individuals and water level of weir were positively correlated though they showed low correlation coefficient. Conversely, occurrence rate of fishes smaller than 70 mm of total length decreased with increasing water level of weir. fishway usage time of fish were different depends on ecological characteristics of each species. Various sizes of fishes can use fishway for their upstream migration. These results are useful for establishing management and evaluation plans of Ice Harbor type fishway in S. Korea.
