  • 논(paddy) 환경은 습지로 분류되며 담수환경에서 매우 많은 비율을 차지하고 있다. 또한 많은 수서곤충류 및 양서파충류 유생의 서식지 및 산란 장소로써 생태학적으로 매우 중요하다. 하지만 기후변화 및 무분별한 농약 살포 등으로 인해 논 생태계는 지속적으로 위협받고 있다. 따라서 향후 훼손된 논 생태계를 복원하기 위해서는 복원 기준이 될 수 있는 논 생태계 서식 생물들의 정보가 필요하다. 환경유전자 metabarcoding 분석법은 성체 생활시기가 다르거나 성충으로 우화하여 대상 생태계에서 더 이상 발견할 수 없는 분류군까지 존재 여부를 간접적으로 파악할 수 있기 때문에 논 생태계에 서식하는 많은 생물들의 정보를 축적하는데 매우 효과적이다. 본 연구에서도 4종의 개구리와 9종의 수서곤충 유전자가 발견되었으며, 일부 분류군은 현장에서 개체가 직접 발견되었다. 많은 수의 분류군이 DNA 탐색에서만 발견되었으며, 전통적인 조사방법은 매우 제한적인 분류군만을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 eDNA 기반의 논 생물탐색은 강력한 분석 해상도 때문에 농업 생태계 생물다양성 조사에서 활용가치가 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 하천생태계의 주요 1차 생산자인 부착돌말류는 대부분 세포 크기가 매우 작아 관찰과 피각 계수에 고배율의 현미경적 방법을 요구하며, 그로 인해 정성적, 정량적 분석에 있어 정확도와 정밀도를 확보하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 부착돌말류를 이용한 수생태계 조사·평가에 있어 정도관리를 향상시키기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 정도관리의 목적에 부합하기 위해, 정성 및 정량분석이 동시에 가능한 영구표본 슬라이드의 분석도구를 신규로 개발하였다. 영구표본을 제작함에 있어 커버 글라스와 슬라이드 글라스에 격자 유무의 조합으로 표본을 만들어 상호 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 다른 시험 조건에 비해 유색선형 격자 슬라이드를 사용하는 방법이 가장 효과적이었다. 향후, 더 개선된 방법의 개발이 기대되지만, 본 연구에서 개발된 방법은 그 효율성과 적용성에 있어 기존 부착돌말류의 실내분석 정도관리를 개선하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Many aquatic ecosystems suffer from anthropogenic disturbances, including the introduction of damaging levels of toxic substances. The effects of disturbances include complex relations with various components involved in the systems, and can include physical, chemical, and hydrological disruption depending of the contaminant. Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are developed to help decision makers to deal with complex management crises, through the systematic structuring and evaluation of decisions, and through providing easy-to-use and integrated tools for information elaboration and display. We reviewed various DSSs developed for toxic substances in aquatic ecosystems, and suggested a conceptual framework which is best suited to the management of such issues within Korea. It may assist stakeholders with their decision making process, and in the achievement of a consensus on water management solutions.

  • The aquatic animals of Tan stream were composed of 46 species, 28 families, 11 orders, 6 classes in 4 phyla during the survey period of April, 1996 to December, 1996. They were composed of 31 species in aquatic insecta, 6 species in annelida, 3 species in mollusca, 1 species in crustacea, and 5 species in fishes, respectively. Major dominant species in Tan stream were Chironomidae sp.1, Chironomidae sp.2, Chironomidae sp.3, Tubufucidae sp.1, Physa acuta and hirudo niponica. Dominance indices of benthic macroinvertebrates ranged highly from 95.74 to 100.00% at lower stream(site 4), but ranged 50.00 to 95.85% at site 1 through site 3. The aquatic animals ranged from 25 to 32 species at site 1 through site 3, but they were only 3 species at site 4 for survey period. Tan stream in the light of urban stream ecosystem has a little less riffle areas and hydrophyte areas by cementation of riparian area and channel type of water course. Therefore, the species of aquatic animals in Tan stream decreased because of deterioration of water quality according to reduction of self-purifcation ability and loss of microhabitat according to reduction of hydrophyte areas and riparian areas. The tendency of decreasing species of aquatic animals appeared seriously at lower stream From drive licence test authority at Kangnam-ku, Seoul to conjunction point of the Han river.

  • Turbid water or suspended sediment is associated with negative effects on aquatic organisms; fish, aquatic invertebrate, and periphyton. Effects of turbid water on fish differ depending on their developmental stage and a level of turbidity. Low turbid water may cause feeding and predation rates, reaction distance, and avoidance in fish, and it could make fish to die under high turbidity and long period. Therefore, it is very important to find out how turbid water or suspended sediment can affect fish in domestic watersheds. The objectives of this study were 1) to introduce international case studies and their standards to deal with suspended sediment, 2) to determine acute toxicity in 4 major freshwater fishes, and 3) to determine in relation to adverse effect of macroinvertebrates and fish. Impacts of turbid water on fish can be categorized into direct and indirect effects, and some factors such as duration and frequency of exposure, toxicity, temperature, life stage of fish, size of particle, time of occurrence, availability of and access to refugia, etc, play important role to decide magnitude of effect. A review of turbidity standard in USA, Canada, and Europe indicated that each standard varied with natural condition, and Alaska allowed liberal increase of turbidity over natural conditions in streams. Even though acute toxicity with four different species did not show any fatal effect, it should be considered to conduct a chronic test (long-term) for more detailed assessment. Compared to the control, dominance index of macroinvertebrates was greater in the turbid site, whereas biotic index, species diversity index, species richness index, and ecological score were smaller in the turbid site. According to histopathological analysis with gills of macroinvertebrate and fishes, morphological and physiological modification of gills due to suspended sediments can cause disturbance of respiration, excretion and secretion. In conclusion, in order to maintain good and healthy aquatic ecosystem, it is the best to minimize or prevent impact by occurrence of turbid water in stream and reservoir. We must make every effort to maintain and manage healthy aquatic ecosystem with additional investigation using various assessment tools and periodic biomonitoring of fish.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the removal rate of sulphur of the litters in the Phragmites communsis, Seirpus tabernaemontani, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Typha angustata aquatic grassland ecosystem on the lake Paldangho. The annual litter productions of sulphur were 50.91 /$m^2$, in P. communis, 180.83 g /$m^2$, in S. tabernaemontani, 25.87 g /$m^2$, in M. sacchariflorus and 151.39 g /$m^2$, in T. angustata, respectively. The removal rates r, of sulphur in the litters were 0.86 in P. communis, 0.82 in S. tabernaemontani, 0.43 in M. sacchariflorus and 0.47 in T. angustata respectively, The times required to reach 50, 95 and 99 percent of the steady state levels and turnover values of sulphur on the grass-land floor were 0.81, 3.49 and 5.82 years in the P. communis, 0.85, 3.68 and 6.13 years in the S. tabernaemontani, 1.62, 7.00 and 11.67 years in the M. sacchariflorus and 1.49, 6.44 and 10.73 years in the T. angustata, It is considered that the high removal rates of sulphur in four grasslands of aquatic ecosystem contribute to the efficient removal of sulphur, a pollutant, at the lake Paldangho. Key words: Removal rate, Accmulation, Paldaugho, Sulphur, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus saechariflorus, Seirpus tabernaemontani, Typha angastata.

  • In these days, water environment is getting threatened by a variety of toxic pollutants discharged from industries. However, environmental standards and regulations in Korea may be in straitened circumstances to protect the water environment from it. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to compare the management state of the toxic substances in water environment and to present the framework for deriving water quality criteria in USA and Japan. To conserve the water environment from the toxic pollutants more efficiently, the following considerations could be suggested in standards and regulation in Korea. Firstly, there should be consistency of regulated pollutants in drinking water quality standard, water quality standards and permissible wastewater discharge standards. Secondly, in case of deriving the water quality standards, it is required to consider the conservation of the aquatic ecosystem as well as the protection of human health. Finally, it is indispensable to make risk-based approach in management of toxic pollutants in water environment.
