연안개발에 따른 유기물 오염은 유기물 오염지표종의 분포를 증가시키고, 증가된 유기물 오염지표종이 대상해역에 장기간 우점하여 저서생태계를 교란시킨다. 하지만 아직까지 우리나라 전 해역을 대상으로 조하대 저서생태계 유기물 오염정도를 확인한 연구가 미미한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 연안개발 환경영향평가 대상사업의 조하대 저서동물 조사결과를 분석하여 유기물 오염지표종의 분포를 확인하고, 우리나라 전 해역 조하대 유기물 오염정도를 간접적으로 확인하였다. 유기물 오염지표종별 분포 현황을 이미지 프로그램을 통해 지도로 작성하고, 전체 출현분포 현황을 통해 전 연안의 저서건강도지수(BHI, Benthic Health Index)를 도식화하였다. 유기물 오염정도는 사업구분 및 유기물 오염지표종별 분포가 다양하였으며, 유기물 오염지표종 중 Lumbrineris sp.가 전 해역에 가장 우점한 것으로 확인되었고, 전체 조하대 유기물 오염정도와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 앞으로의 조하대 저서생태계 유기물 오염정도는 유기물 오염지표종 분포를 통해 확인하고, 향후 연안개발 계획 수립 시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 또한, 유기물 오염지표종 중 Lumbrineris sp.의 분포는 간접적으로 개발 대상지의 유기물 오염정도를 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this work, we compared the characteristics of three benthic biotic indices (BPI, AMBI, BIBI) which indicates the health condition of benthic communities in Masan Bay, Korea where anthropogenic impacts have been concentrated. Also we evaluated the usefulness of these benthic indices and some problems if they were applied to the Korean coastal waters. For this we used the macrozoobenthos data collected using van Veen grab ($0.1\;m^2$) at 21 sites in Masan Bay in February and August 2004. Based on the BPI values, two stations in the inner bay were found in a very hard polluted condition and three stations in the middle bay were also in a highly polluted condition. Only one station located in the bay mouth was in a normal condition. The inner bay stations showed very high AMBI values (${\geq}5.0$), indicating a highly polluted condition. The bay mouth station was assessed in a moderately polluted condition. The overall BIBI values in Masan Bay were in the range between 1.0 and 3.0. The inner bay stations showed low BIBI values (${\leq}2.0$) in the severely degraded condition. The bay mouth station with high BIBI value over 3.0 was assessed as a normal condition. All three benthos indices showed that macrozoobenthic communities in the inner bay were in a seriously polluted condition all year round, and macrobenthic faunas in the bay mouth seemed in a bad healthy condition (slightly polluted) based on AMBI during summer season. These three benthic biotic indices showed the similar assessment result, and thus we consider that each of them is a useful tool for the assessment of coastal benthic ecosystems under the organic enrichment in sediment.

저서동물은 저서환경특성을 나타내는 중요한 지시자로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 무안만 조하대의 환경 및 저서동물의 분포특성을 조사하였으며, 수질평가지수(WQI)와 저서생물지수(AMBI)를 이용하여 저서생태계 건강성을 평가하였다. 현장채집은 2019년 하계 무안만 조하대의 10개 정점에서 이루어졌다. 무안만 조하대는 상부지역이 하부지역에 비해 세립한 입도특성을 나타내고 있었으며, 높은 유기물 함량을 보였다. 일부 정점에서 오염지표종인 Musculista senhousia, Theora fragilis and Lumbrineris longifolia과 같은 종들도 우점을 나타내고 있었다. 군집분석결과 무안만 조하대는 상부, 중부, 하부 그룹으로 구분되었으며, 유기물 함량과 저서건강성 평가지수(WQI 및 AMBI)와의 상관결과와 일치하였다. 본 연구결과, 무안만 조하대의 저서생태계는 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 하지만 저서동물이 균등하게 분포하지 않고, 기회종이 출현하고 있어 조하대의 유기물 부하량이 증가하고 있는 것으로 보인다.

Bentic macroinvertebrate and fish fauna were investigated from September 2008 to October 2009 in the middle reach of the Suyoung river in Busan. During the survey period benthic macroinvertebrates were collected total 35 species at the three sites (Hanmul-gyo, Dongcheon-gyo, Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. At that sites, species diversity index was 1.9, 1.5, 1.6, dominance index was 0.75, 0.81, 0.86 and Korean Saprobic Index (KSI) was 1.8(B), 4.4(D), 4.4(D) on average, respectively. Dominant species was Caenis Kua, Chironomidae sp., at Hanmul-gyo site and Limnodrilus gotoi, Chironomidae sp., at Dongcheon-gyo and Seokdae Jct. sites. Fish fauna was also investigated at the two sites (Hanmul-gyo and Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. Total caught fishes were 10 species 32 individuals in the first survey and 6 species 26 individuals in the second survey. Dominant species was Carassius auratus in the both surveys. Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) value was C grade at the Hanmul-gyo and D grade at the Seokdae Jct.

The distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates in Daecheon stream, an urban stream of Busan, was investigated to analyze the community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates. The collection was performed monthly at five(A~E) sites divided into three parts, upper, middle and lower, of stream from January to November, 2004. In physicochemical analysis of environmental factors, water quality parameters such as BOD, COD, conductivity and ABS were relatively increased in sites B and C. Whereas sites A, D and E showed little variations with good water quality parameters. However, water quality parameters in all surveyed sites showed gradual decrease with time toward improvement of water quality. A total of 8,226 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 9 orders, 302 families and 44 species were identified from five sites. The most dominant group was insect(class Insecta), and order Ephemeroptera and Diptera among insect was the largest member in species(30.6%) and individuals(75.0%) of benthic macroinvertebrates, respectively. The primary dominant species were Gammarus sp. and Ephemera strigata in site A, whereas Chironomus sp. and Brenchiura sowerbyi were dominated commonly in the other sites. In community analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates of Daecheon stream diversity index showed relatively low values, whereas dominance index was significantly high. Diversity index was the highest in site A, whereas the dominance index was the highest in site B. However, diversity index showed gradual increase with time showing adverse mode in dominance index. From these results, it can be suggested that long-term ecological monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate fauna is needed for sustainable management of Daecheon stream.

Analysis of benthic macroinvertebrate community and biological estimation of water quality by the benthic macroinvertebrates were conducted at Olympic Park at its nearby waters in Seoul from December, 2004 to September, 2005. The benthic macrovertebrates were 49 species. Among them, 39 species of aquatic insects were included 11 species in odonata, 9 species in diptera, 7 species in hemiptera, 6 species in coleoptera, 3 species in ephemeroptera, 2 species in trichoptera and 1 species in lepipdoptera, and 10 species of non-insects were 6 species in mollusca, 2 species in hirudinea and 2 species in oligochaeta. Species number of lakes, Seongnae Stream within and outside the Olympic Park was 25 species, 35 species and 33 species, respectively. Individual number of lakes, Seongnae Stream within and outside the Olympic Park was $131\;inds/2.5m^2\;239\;inds/2.5m^2\;556\;inds/2.5m^2$, respectively. Mean dominance indices of lakes, Seongnae Stream within and outside the Olympic Park was 0.74, 0.61 and 0.72, respectively. According to the saprobic system based on the ESB index(Ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate community), all survey sites are $\beta-mesosaprobic$ waters. To increase of abundance of benthic macroinvertebrates, regular interval monitoring has to be enforced and standard of water quality for the ecological ponds of Olympic Park has to be prepared.

Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates was investigated from Gigye stream, Pohang, Korea from May to November, 2007. As results, total of 108 species of macroinvertebrates under 49 families, 15 orders, 5 classes in 3 phyla were identified. The number of species was the most abundantly revealed in aquatic insects (class Insecta) with 86 species (82.6%) under 7 orders. The phylum Mollusca (10 species, 9.2%) and the phylum Annelida (6 species, 5.6%) were followed in order. In the class Crustacea, 6 species (5.6%) were distributed. In aquatic insects, the order Odonata was the most abundant taxon (20 species, 23.3%). Seventeen species (19.8%) of the order Ephemeroptera and 16 species (18.6%) of the Coleoptera were followed. The primary dominant species in the stream was Cloeon dipterum of Ephemeroptera. For community analysis, the values of diversity index (H'), evenness index (J'), dominance index (DI) and richness index (RI) were studied and the average values of them were 5.65, 0.84, 0.13, and 13.18, respectively.

This study aims to determine the community patterns of benthic macroinvertebrates and analyze the relationship between the communities and the water quality in the Pungyeongjeong Stream. We collected the samples four times by season. The number of species was 28 and the dominant species were Cheumatopsyche brevilineata, Hydropsyche kozhantschikovi, Baetis fuscatus, Chironomidae spp., and so on. The range of the dominant index was 0.54 to 0.93 and the mean was 0.77. The range of the diversity index was 0.94 to 2.54, and of the mean index it was 1.75. The ratio of filtering-collectors and clingers got lower, but the ratio of gathering-collectors and sprawlers got higher as collection progressed from the upper stream to the lower stream. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed COD, SS, TOC and total coliforms were highly related with biotic indices of benthic macroinvertebrates. The results of cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination showed that the survey sites and periods were divided into three groups. The survey sites were divided into upper stream and middle-lower stream. The survey periods were divided into winter season and other seasons. Distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates showed some characteristics according to various influence factors; however long-term and regular investigations were thought to need analysis and prediction with various statistical methods.

This study was conducted to examine how a low-head dam removal (partial removal) could affect benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a stream. Benthic macroinvertebrates and substrates were seasonally sampled before and after dam removal (March 2006-April 2007). Benthic macroinvertebrates and substrates were quantitatively sampled from immediately upstream (upper: pool) and downstream (lower: riffle) sites, the location of the dam itself (middle), and immediately above the impoundment (control: riffle). After the removal, species richness and density of benthic macroinvertebrates as well as the EPT group (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) increased to higher levels than those before the removal, while functional feeding groups and habitat orientation groups changed more heterogeneously at the upper site. At the lower site, species richness and density decreased somewhat immediately after dam removal, which was associated with an increase of silt and sand, but recovered after monsoon floods which helped to enhance substrate diversity at the upper site. Decreased dominance index and increased diversity index in both the upper and lower sites are evidence of positive effects from the dam removal. In conclusion, we suggest that even a partial removal of a dam, resulting in increased substrate diversity in the upper site, could sufficiently help rehabilitate lost ecological integrity of streams without major habitat changes.

2011년 2월부터 2012년 11월까지 진해만에 23개 정점을 선정하여 저서오염지수를 이용하여 대형저서동물의 군집건강도를 평가해 보았다. 그 결과, 거제도 북쪽과 칠천도 부근의 정점을 제외한 모든 진해만 해역에서 저서동물군집의 건강도가 4~5등급으로 매우 오염된 상태인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 마산만과 고성만, 통영만의 일부 정점들에서는 기회종이 속한 4그룹의 비중이 90% 이상으로 나타났는데, 이는 저서환경이 오염되어 있음을 시사한다. 진해만에서는 마산만, 행암만, 통영만, 고현만에서 여름철 hypoxia 현상으로 인해 무생물 상태를 보였고, 종료 후 기회종이 대량 가입하는 양상을 보였다. 하지만 hypoxia 후 기회종이 가입되지 않은 일부 정점들이 관찰되었고, 이로 인해 저서건강도가 과대평가되는 현상에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 진해만의 저서건강도는 경기만의 시화호, 부산항만 등 다른 특별관리해역들에 비해서도 매우 낮게 나타나 심각하게 오염된 저서환경임을 시사하였다.
