The fish community of small freshwater ecosystems gets easily disturbed by direct or indirect human induced disturbances during the period of urbanization. Urbanization is one of factors that generate changes in stream and influences fish fauna in developed countries. This study was conducted in Busan Metropolitan City from 2001 to 2004. In order to investigate the fish community, the city was divided into 3 parts, eastern, central and western. A total of 3,206 individuals of 46 species from 19 families were collected from 55 sites. The dominant species was Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, whereas Zacco temminckii was the subdominant species. Cluster analysis was conducted using primary freshwater fish species collected from each stream. As a result of the analysis, study sites were well differentiated into 3 parts. Two species of Z. temminckii and R. oxycephalus represented the upper part of the stream and Carassius cuvieri, Acheilognathus rhombeus, Hemiculter eigenmanni and Micropterus salmoides represented the middle and lower parts of the stream. When compared with previous studies, fish community of the eastern part of the Busan city where urbanization is in progress, showed similar patterns to the central part. At the time of the habitat restoration of fish fauna in stream, appropriate selection of fish species should be made through analysis of stream character and biogeographic distribution of fish, and long-term monitoring is also needed for sustaining the management of fish fauna.

Thanks to the development of computer graphics, Animation can be easily accessed through movies or games. The users can meet various contents and are asking for high quality animations that resembles reality to a near perfection. The research is proceeded to observe the fish shapes and swimming movements through cyber aquariums, fish ecology museums and fish encyclopedias. The core of expressing undersea scenery is the natural and dynamic movements of the fish. In this thesis in order to achieve the natural shape of fish swimming, it is necessary to design a fish growth process system based on environmental factors and apply different standard points depending on the various swimming types of fish species to express the fish as near reality as possible. And by calculating the different swimming velocities of different standard points, a natural swimming shape will be achieved.

최근 하천에는 치수와 하천생태를 고려한 수많은 하천복원기술이 개발 적용되고 있으나 국내 여건을 제대로 반영한 기술이 전무한 것이 현실이다. 또한 과도한 콘크리트 사용으로 인한 하천경관의 훼손 및 하천생태계에 악영향을 미치고 있으며 이와 더불어 강우량의 증대 및 집중호우 등 돌변하는 기후변화로 하천환경변화에 대한 적용 가능한 기술이 미비하다. 따라서 하천에 유해한 물질을 방출시키지 않고 하천환경 및 하천 생물의 생활사에 영향을 주지 않는 무 저독성 소재를 활용하여 기후변화에 대응이 가능하도록 수리적 안정성을 강화시키고, 생태적으로도 건강한 생태하천 복원 기술개발이 요구되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 무독성 소재를 활용하여 치수적으로 안정적이고 식물 및 어류 등 각종 생물의 서식이 가능한 하천호안공 기술을 개발하였으며, 개발된 호안기술은 창원시 마산회원구에 위치한 광려천 상류 일부구간에 시범적으로 적용하였고, 시공 전 중 후 물리, 화학, 생물 모니터링을 통하여 개발기술의 현장 적용성을 검증하였다.

지구온난화의 영향으로 가뭄의 발생 빈도가 전 세계 곳곳으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 가뭄이란 강수량 혹은 가용 수자원 등이 평균적인 수준에 비해 지속해서 적게 유지되는 현상으로 다양한 분야(기상, 농업, 사회, 경제 등)에 피해를 발생시킨다. 가뭄이 지속되면 인간 사회 뿐만 아니라 동·식물이 서식하고 있는 생태계에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 우리나라에서도 2000년대 이후 주기적으로 발생한 가뭄으로 인해 가뭄 현상을 모니터링하고 예측, 전망하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으나 아직까지 환경생태가뭄에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄으로 인해 환경생태계에 미치는 영향 중 수생태계에 초점을 맞춰 진행하였으며, 수생태계에 서식하는 동·식물 중 어류만을 대상으로 하였다. 생태가뭄을 빠르고 쉽게 예측하기 위해 Ecological Nomograph를 개발하여 가뭄에 따른 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 나온 결과를 바탕으로 환경가뭄을 감시하고 대응하기 위한 분석 방법으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ecological instream flow was quantitatively calculated based on the river characteristics and fish habitat in the downstream of Yongdam Reservoir. The river bed and width did not change from 1988 before the am construction to 2004 after the dam construction, but the bed sediment size was attenuated a little in 2004. According to result that investigate fishes, 4 family 11 species including Acheilognathus koreensis were collected. Among them, Zacceo koreanus of cyprinidae was dominant, and Coreoleuciscus splendidus did sub-dominant. The habitat suitability indexes were estimated for two fish species Zacco koreanus and Coreoleuciscus splendidus using Physical Habitat Simulation System (PHABSIM) considering the river characteristics. In Gamdong and Daeti sites, the optimal ecological flow for Z. koreanus and C. splendidus were $13.90\sim12.60\;m^3\;s^{-1}$ and $15.50\sim11.60\;m^3\;s^{-1}$, respectively. In contrast, the optimal flow for the two species in Bunam site were $7.00\;m^3\;s^{-1}$. The ecological instream flow in the downstream of Yongdam Reservoir was between normal and high flow rate.

Total of 325 estuaries in Korea were surveyed to analyze the effect of presence of sluice gate on the estuary environment and fish community from 2016 to 2018. Fish community in closed and open estuaries showed differences generally, and the relative abundance (RA) of primary freshwater species in the closed and migratory species in the open estuaries were high. The result of classifying species by habitat characteristics in closed and open estuaries showed similar tendencies at the estuaries of south sea and west sea. The relative abundances of primary freshwater species in the closed estuaries at the estuaries of south sea and west sea were the highest, but estuarine and migratory species were high in both closed and open estuaries at the estuaries of east sea. Primary freshwater species showed higher abundances in the closed estuaries with reduced salinity due to blocking of seawater since they are not resistant to salt. However, primary freshwater species in open estuaries at east sea was higher than that of the closed estuaries, which is considered to be the result of reflecting the characteristics (tide, sand bar, etc.) of the east sea. Korea Estuary Fish Assessment Index (KEFAI) was showed to be higher at open estuaries than closed in all sea areas (T-test, P<0.001), the highest KEFAI was observed in closed estuaries at south sea, and open estuaries in east sea. Fish community of closed and open estuaries in each sea areas showed statistically significant differences (PERMANOVA, East, Pseudo-F=3.0198, P=0.002; South, Pseudo-F=22.00, P=0.001; West, Pseudo-F=14.067, P=0.001). Fish assemblage similarity by sea areas showed a significant differences on fish community in closed and open estuaries at east sea, south sea, and west sea (SIMPER, Group dissimilarity, 85.85%, 88.36%, and 88.05%). This study provided information on the characteristics and distribution of fish community according to the types of estuaries. The results of this study can be used as a reference for establishing appropriate management plans according to the sea areas and type in the management and restoration of estuaries for future.

In a cyber aquarium, the behavior of fish objects is the most important factor in respect of visual effects. In this paper, we analyze the principal habits of fish objects such as the vitality, the range of movement, the maximum depth of water they can live, and the cycle of eating. Then, we suggest a method for simulating the stable marine ecosystem with controlling the behaviors, the interaction with other species, the average span of life, and all that sort of thing based on the result of analysis. Because we can freely modify the behavior of fish object by altering the values of attributes, it can be utilized in the dynamic cyber aquarium, the 3D aquarium screen saver, and the cyber fish game, and so on.
