Abstract
Tadpole shrimps are aquatic crustaceans adapted to temporary water pool. Since they have been recorded as the living fossil, there are a number of reports on their past and present distribution as well as their morphology and reproduction in foreign countries. However, there are few studies of biology and ecology of tadpole shrimps despite registration as an endangered species by Ministry of Environment, in Korea. This study was carried out to examine the distribution and habitat characteristics of tadpole shrimps (Triops longicaudatus) collected from May 2006 to July 2008 in Korea. Tadpole shrimps were found from the paddy fields and ephemeral pools at 21 countries in South Korea. They appeared between May and July and survived for 30 days, and temperatrue range was $10.7^{\circ}C$ to $33.5^{\circ}C$. The average turbidity of experimental paddy fields was 176.8 (${\pm}239.3$) NTU, and controlled field was 28.9 (${\pm}26.7$) NTU. The life pattern of tadpole shrimps is adapted to a temporary water pool and unstable environmental conditions, and also there was great effect of agricultural activity on the development and growth of tadpole shrimps.
