  • The characteristics of ichthyofauna and fish community in Lake Goesan were examined from April 2010 to October 2012. During the survey period thirty six species belonging to 11 families were collected. Dominant species by number were Hemibarbus labeo (29.9%) and Zacco platypus (20.0%). In biomass, the dominant species were H. labeo (37.2%) and Carassius auratus (17.9%). Also, fourteen Korean endemic fish species (38.9%) and one endangered species (Acheilognathus signifer) were collected. Further, one catadromous species was observed for stock enhancement (Anguilla japonica), in addition to two land-locked anadromous species (Hypomesus nipponensis, Plecoglossus altivelis) and three exotic species (Cyprinus carpio (Israeli type), C. cuvieri, Micropterus salmoides). According to the length-weight relation of C. auratus and M. salmoides, the b values were 3.13~2.99, 3.11~2.99, showing a declining tendency annually. However, for H. labeo and Z. platypus, the b values were 2.98~3.07, 3.06~3.23 respectively, showing an increasing trend. The slope values for C. auratus and M. salmoides population conditions were controlled by K factor showing a tendency to decrease, but H. labeo and Z. platypus were showing a tendency to gradually increase.

  • 하천횡단구조물은 하천을 횡단하는 시설물로, 크게 농업용수 취수용 보, 하도개수시 유속제어를 위한 낙차공 등을 들 수 있으며, 각각의 설치목적에 따라 그 형태와 설계제원(높이, 마루폭, 바닥보호공의 길이 등)이 다르나, 하천을 횡단하여 인공적인 구조물을 설치하는 형태는 동일하다. 따라서, 하천횡단구조물은 홍수시 배수위 영향으로 상류에 수위상승을 초래하여 하천의 치수 안전도를 저하시킬 뿐 아니라 직하류에서는 하상의 세굴에 의하여 호안 및 제방이 파괴되는 경우도 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 또한, 하천횡단구조물은 생태계의 이동통로로서의 종적 연속성을 차단하는 것이다. 즉 하천을 따라 거슬러 올라가는 소하성 어종(anadromous species)이나 하천에서 바다로 내려가는 강하성 어종(catadromous species)과 같은 회유성 어종의 이동을 차단하기도 하며, 회유성 어종 이외에도 치어와 성어의 성장환경이 다른 어종의 경우는 상 중 하류를 옮겨가며 성장하는 어종의 이동도 차단하고 있다. 하천횡단구조물은 치 이수적 측면에서 반드시 필요한 하천구조물로서 치수, 생태 및 경관의 측면에서 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 있으나 지금까지는 어도설치나 기능을 상실한 보의 철거 등 소극적인 수준에 머무르고 있기에 적극적인 개선대책이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 하천횡단구조물로 인한 문제점을 파악하기 위하여 경남의 20개 시 군 684개의 지방 하천에 설치된 7,725개의 하천횡단구조물에 대한 전수조사를 실시하고, 구조형식, 높이, 재료, 어도 설치 여부, 세굴현황 등을 분석하였다. 하천횡단구조물의 용도별 구성비는 보가 49%, 낙차공이 51%로 나타났으며, 구조형식은 콘크리트 구조가 72%, 콘크리트 석재 구조가 25%, 석재 구조가 3%인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 하천횡단구조물의 본체 높이별 구성비는 0.5m 이하가 14%, 0.5~1.0m가 35%, 1.0~1.5m가 34%, 1.5~2.0m가 10%, 2.0m 이상이 7%인 것으로 조사되었다. 어도 설치는 약 9%인 669개소에 설치되어 있었으나 대부분이 어류 등의 이용하는 생태통로 기능을 발휘할 수 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 하폭, 하상고, 하상경사, 굴입정도, 유사량 등의 하도특성 및 용수이용 여건 등을 고려하여 유공관을 이용한 지하보, 석재 아치의 원리를 이용한 계단식 자연형 보/낙차공, 부분 램프 설치, 거석 놓기 등의 개선방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 개선방안은 하천복원 및 하천개수 사업 시행시에 반영하여 합리적인 하천복원 및 관리에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • On April. 2016, the anadromous icy goby caught at Shinbong-cheon, Tongyeong shi, Gyeongsangnam-do transported to the laboratory of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) and observed spawning behavior and egg development and larvae. In aquarium, males make the nest under stone and waiting female entering. Fertilized eggs attached under the stone in the nest. Male protected the fertilized eggs until hatching. The size of the club-shaped eggs were 3.2~3.4 mm in the major axis and 0.6~0.8 mm in minor axis (n=10). The eyed eggs were hatched after 168 hrs in a range of water temperatures (18.0~20.0℃). The total lengths of newly hatched larvae were 4.1~4.4 mm (n=5) and these larvae had 32~33 (12~13+20) myotomes and transparent oval yolk. Three days after hatching, the pre-larva (4.9 mm in total length) has opening mouth and rectum. Post-larva with 5.2 mm total length have melanophore on air bladder, rectum, base of membranous caudal fin and 9~10 melanophores ventral row on the tail.

  • The egg development and early life history of Tribolodon hakonensis that collected from the Seomjin River were studied. The fertilized eggs of the T. hakonensis were slightly adhesive and separated with a yellow yolk and no oil globule. The size of the eggs was an average of 2.89 mm (2.79~2.96) in diameter. Fifty percents of the embryos were hatched in about 63 hrs after fertilization at water temperature of 20℃. The newly hatched larvae showed average 6.92 mm (6.09~7.60) in total length. At 8 days after hatching, they were 13.75±0.67 mm (n=10) in total length and their yolk sacs were completely absorbed, opening mouth and anus (postflexion larvae stage). At 40 days after hatching, they became juvenile and reached 26.99±1.82 mm (n=10) in total length and all their fin rays were formed. At 137 days after hatching, the young fish were 72.63±10.7 mm (n=10) in total length and their body shape, color and behavior were similar to those of adult fish. The size of eggs and the larva after hatching significantly affected the initial growth among groups of genus Tribolodon, and the hatching time of fertilized eggs and the growth rate of the early life history according to the water temperate were different.

  • This study was carried out the anatomical and histological investigation of the olfactory organ on a land-locked and an amphidromous Plecoglossus altivelis in Deokam-ri, Shinpyeong-myeon, Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do and Daeduk-ri, Gojeon-myeon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, August, 2021, Korea. The external morphology of the two types of P. altivelis was indistinguishable, featuring a pair of the elliptical anterior nostrils, the semicircular posterior nostrils, and the nasal flaps on the snout. The olfactory organ consisted of 20 to 22 olfactory lamellae forming a rosette structure in the nasal chamber. The secondary folds appeared on the lamellae. The histological results were also uniform. The sensory epithelium was a continuous type, consisting of olfactory receptor neurons, supporting cells, basal cells, cilia, and an unidentified cell. The non-sensory epithelium found only in the terminal part of lamellae, consist of stratified epithelial cells, basal cells, and mucous cells. For the olfactory organ between a land-lock type and an amphidromous type, no difference was observed in external and histological structure between amphidromous and land-locked type. However, it is considered that P. altivelis has higher olfactory sensitivity than other anadromous fish due to more number of olfactory lamellae and the presence of the secondary folds.

  • The estuaries bank of Nakdong River, Korea, was constructed in 1987 and many arguments have been under discussion on the subject of ecological impact on ecosystem during 20 years. In this context, however, it was not focused on the role of fish-way and the way of improvement to promote fish movement to complete its life history. This paper was the result of investigation on fish fauna of upper and lower part of the bank and the analysis of comparison of the fishes with those using fish-way which were installed in each side of bank as ladder type and fish gate. The authors discussed the importance of fish gate and its management base on the result. The number of fishes collected in this study for upper part of estuaries bank was 31 species, among them 71% was the pure freshwater residents indicating the characteristics of the area as a freshwater ecosystem. It was observed that 9 species of coastal fishes were found in this region including Coilia ectens and Neosalanx sp. which is anadromous to spawn. Excluding 6 freshwater fishes, 30 fish species collected in lower part of estuaries bank were coastal fishes indicating that former brackish ecosystem was changed into marine one. The freshwater fishes found in this region were restricted the appearance only in the season of discharging freshwater into the sea. The number of fishes found in fish-way was 39 species, more than that of river and coast. But only 19 species founded in fish ladder was comparable with the result of investigation on fish gate including 32 species. It was considered that the fish gate has more important role as a fish passage from the fact that only it allowed to movement of numerous number of fry of Neosalanx sp. and Engraulis japonicus. These results indicates that two-way movement system is more efficient than downward only one in estuaries bank for fish migration.
