근자에 들어 양식 대상어류의 다양화를 위해서 여러 방면에서 많은 노력이 시도되고 있는데, 특히 조피볼락을 비롯한 새끼를 낳는 태생 어류에 대한 관심이 점점 높아지고 있다. 국내에서 태생 어류의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 볼락류는 고가이면서 초기 생활사 동안 모체 면역의 유지로 인하여 환경에 대한 적응성이 빠르며 내병성이 높아 양식에 강한 잇점이 있다. 하지만 조피볼락을 제외하고는 아직 양식산업에서 좋은 결과를 나타내지 못하고 있다. 이러한 이유 가운데 한 가지는 태생 어류들은 알을 낳는 난생 어류들과는 다른 생식생태적인 특이성을 가지는데 이 점을 잘 이해하지 못하기 때문이다. 따라서 여기에서는 태생 어류들의 배우자형성에서부터 출산까지의 생식 특이성을 설명하고자 한다.

오산천 어류상 분석을 통하여 생물종의 다양성 및 존속성 확보를 위한 서식처별 어류군집의 특성을 밝히고 자연 하안 및 서식처 조성 시 적합한 어류상에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 오산천 일원의 3개 지점을 대상으로 각 서식처별 어류상을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 대한민국 고유종 2종을 포함하여 전체 9종 144개체가 채집되었다. 오산천 조사 지점 모두 수질이 좋지 않았으며 어류상은 빈약하였다. 기흥저수지 유입부에서는 상대적으로 다른 지점보다 많은 종수와 개체수가 채집되어 오산천 복원 시 수질개선과 함께 오산천 상류로 서식지 확장을 통한 복원이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 복원 대상종은 대한민국 고유종인 왜매치, 치리 및 얼록동사리와 하상의 상태를 개선할 수 있을 경우에는 참마자와 모래무지를 포함할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Sampling gears for collecting fish are diverse, and the community of fish varies according to the selection and characteristics of the sampling gears. The present study compared the characteristics of fish communities in Yedang reservoir using four sampling gears (kick net, cast net, gill net, and fyke net). The kick net and cast net were inefficient in collecting the number of individuals. However, they increased the species diversity of fish inhabiting the waterfront. Although not many individuals were collected, the gill net mainly collected large fish. The largest number of individuals was collected in the fyke net, and the dominance was high due to the high species selectivity. Through Self-Organizing Map (SOM) analysis, large fish were collected in the gill net, whereas small fish were collected in the fyke net. The characteristics and efficiency of the fish differed depending on the sampling gears. It is expected that researchers will need to use it appropriately according to the characteristics of the sampling gears when investigating the fish community.

A recent topic of interest within ecology is ecosystem services that are importantly connected with biodiversity. Biodiversity is a fundamental component of ecological studies and has been the subject of many studies worldwide. However, studies on the diversity and distribution of freshwater fish were not undertaken in earnest until 2000, and the number of internationally available studies is therefore still limited. In this study, we used data from "The Survey and Evaluation of Aquatic Ecosystem Health (hereafter SEAEH)" within the framework of which whole water systems on the Korean peninsula are annually monitored to investigate and determine the current status of the diversity and distribution of freshwater fish, as well as to elucidate major factors impacting freshwater fish. A total of 130 species from 28 families were identified at around 953 sites in the SEAEH investigation of 2014. The species Zacco platypus (relative abundance: 28.2%) and Z. koreanus (19.3%) were identified as the most abundant species on the Korean peninsula, and besides these 20 endangered species, 51 endemic species and 4 exotic species were also collected. Highest (96 species) and lowest (72 species) diversity were identified in the Han River Watershed and the Yeongsan/Seomjin River Watershed, respectively. The mean endemic rate was 32.7%, which is higher than the previous rate determined in 1995. The exotic species Micropterus salmoides, Lepomis macrochirus and Carassius cuvieri were found in the whole river system except north Yeongdong, whereas Oreochromis niloticus occurred only at three sites due to the cold water temperatures in winter. Totally, 28 species were found to be translocated to different water systems not connected with known original habitats, most translocations occurring in the Nakdong River and the Yeongdong region. Among the translocated species, Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, and Erythroculter erythropterus were dominantly distributed in the mid- to lower reaches of Nakdong River where they may be harmful to the native fish assemblages due to their strong predation. The construction of weirs in connection with the "4 River Project" generated changes in fish assemblages before, during and after the project, resulting in altered habitat condition. Especially, a decrease in the number of endemic species and an increase in the abundance of lentic species were seen. Human-induced global warming will allow exotic species requiring high water temperatures to adapt to the environmental conditions of the Korean peninsula, which may enhance the diversity of native fishes and create changes in distribution. For the establishment of realistic and efficient management and protection strategies for Korean freshwater fish, SEAEH, which produces fundamental and quantitative data for Korean streams, is an important and necessary tool.

This study investigated the environmental factors and fish assemblage in 42 wetlands between spring and autumn of 2017 to evaluate the fish distribution and deduce the management strategy for improving biodiversity in created wetlands located at the Nakdong River basin. The investigation identified a total of 30 fish species and found that the most of wetlands were dominated by exotic fishes such as Micropterus salmoides and Lepomis macrochirus. Fish species such as Rhinogobius brunneus, Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, Zacco platypus were less abundant in the area with high density of Micropterus salmoides (static area) because they preferred the environment with active water flow. The pattern analysis of fish distribution in each wetland using the self-organizing map (SOM) showed a total of 24 variables (14 fish species and 10 environmental variables). The comparison of variables indicated that the distribution of fish species varied according to water depth and plant cover rate and was less affected by water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. The plant cover rate was strongly associated with high fish density and species diversity. However, wetlands with low plant biomass had diversity and density of fish species. The results showed that the microhabitat structure, created by macrophytes, was an important factor in determining the diversity and abundance of fish communities because the different species compositions of macrophytes supported diverse fish species in these habitats. Based on the results of this study, we conclude that macrophytes are the key components of lentic freshwater ecosystem heterogeneity, and the inclusion of diverse plant species in wetland construction or restoration schemes will result in ecologically healthy food webs.

Environmental differences of each sea around the Korean Peninsula in terms of factors including topography and complexity of sea current may influence species and genetic diversity of marine fishes. Fish are naturally abundant in the frontal area where various currents or water masses meet. However, this food resource is prone to human overexploitation, threatening the marine ecosystem. New fisheries resources management strategies are needed. Such strategies require information about population structure obtained through morphological and genetic methods.

Beta diversity is an efficient means of assessing the spatial variation in community composition among sites. To present fish community variation and LCBD (Local Contribution to Beta Diversity) among sites in stream, 6 sampling sites were selected in Cheonggye stream. Fish communities, environmental and habitat variables were collected at sites from April 2014 to October 2015. We used the total variance of the fish community data table (site-by-species community table) based on different forms, presence-absence, abundance, and Hellinger transformation, to estimate and compare beta diversity and LCBD. Fish community data table transformed by Hellinger distance showed the higher values of beta diversity than presence-absence and abundance data table. A similar patterns of LCBD were observed with presence-absence and Hellinger transformed data table. Low value of beta diversity calculated by community data table with abundance was due to the non-normality of fish assemblage data. Additionally, correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the relationships among LCBD, community indices and physicochemical variables. LCBD showed negative correlation coefficients with Shannon diversity. Overall, application of beta diversity analysis is an efficient method of addressing spatial variation of fish communities and ecological uniqueness of the sites in stream.

우리나라 동해는 남해나 서해와는 달리 수심이 깊고 해안선이 단조로우며 급경사를 이루는 곳이 많은 지형적 특징을 가지고 있으며, 연안역은 생산성이 높은 해역으로 수 많은 해양생물이 산란, 생육 및 섭식의 장소로 이용하고 있어 어장으로서 가치가 매우 높은 곳이다. 특히 동해 중부연안은 동한난류와 북한한류의 영향을 동시에 받는 해역으로서 한ㆍ난류성 어류 및 표 저층성 어류 등 다양한 어종이 서식하고 있는 곳으로 알려져 있다. (중략)
