Abstract
The endangered Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa were reintroduced to the Jojongcheon Stream in the Hangang River 2011~2012 as part of the restoration project. Since then, the restoration project has been evaluated as a failure because the P. tenuicorpa were not collected from the discharge site 2014~2016. This study was conducted 2017~2019 to verify that the P. tenuicorpa restoration project failed. Six locations were selected, including the discharge site, and the fish collection method used skimming nets, cast nets, long bag set nets, and scuba diving. In the survey results, 13 individuals were collected in a 0.5 km section, including the discharge station. The P. tenuicorpa habitat was approximately at a water depth of 0.5 m to 2 m in run water flow with the boulders and rocks. The age of the collected P. tenuicorpa were 0+ to 3-years-old, and the generation alternation was occurring stably. Thus, the P. tenuicorpa restoration project was evaluated as partially-successful, as the P. tenuicorpa, re-introduced to the Jojongcheon Stream, settled in its habitat with stable generation alternation.
