The integrative ecological approaches of chemical assessments, physical habitat modelling, and multi-metric biological health modelling were applied to Gwanpyeong Stream within Gap-Stream watersheds to evaluate environmental impacts on the constructions of residential and commercial complex. For the analysis, the surveys conducted from 45 sites of reference streams within the Gap-Stream watershed and 3 regular sites during 2009 - 2010. Physical habitat health, based on the habitat model of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index(QHEI) declined from the headwaters(good - fair condition) to the downstream(poor condition). Chemical water quality, based turbidity and electric conductivity(EC), was degraded toward to the downstream, and especially showed abrupt increases, compared to the values of control streams(CS). Also, concentrations of chlorophyll-a in the downstreams were greater compared to the control stream(CS), indicating an eutrophication. Biological health conditions, based on the Index of Biological Integrity(IBI) using fish assemblages, averaged 19.3 which is judged as a fair condition by the biological criteria of the Ministry of Environment, Korea. The comparisons of model metric values in sensitive species and riffle-benthic species on the Maximum Species Richness Line(MSRL) of 45 reference streams indicated a massive disturbances in all sampling locations. Also, tolerance guild and trophic guild analyses suggest that dominances of tolerant species and omnivores were evident, indicating a biological degradation by habitat disturbances and organic matter pollutions. There was no distinct longitudinal variations of IBI model values from the headwater to the downstream in spite of slight chemical and habitat health gradients among the sampling sites. Overall, integrative ecological health(IEH) scores, based on the chemical, physical, and biological parameters, were low compared to the 45 reference streams due to physical and chemical disturbances of massive constructions of the residential and commercial complex. This stream, thus showed a tendency of typical urban streams which are disturbed in the chemical water quality, habitat structures, and biological integrity. Effective stream management plans and restoration strategies are required in this urban stream for improving integrative stream health.

With increasing recognition on conservation of endangered species in Taiwan, one of the major conservation projects is the habitat restoration of Formosan Landlocked Salmon which is major threatened by check dams in the channel for their blockading pathway to upstream and causing the problems of population isolation and close-blood mating. By creating an opening in the central dam body appropriately, partial removal dams can provide pathway for the fish for the better upstream channel habitat. Four check dams at Gau-Shan Creek were remodeled between April of 1999 and September of 2002 with information supported from model experiments under certain hydraulic condition of field environment. Based on the follow-up investigation, the channel morphology of observation sections is in stable condition and the total number of Formosan Landlocked Salmon in this creek increased promptly at the reach containing partial-removed dams.

The potential effects of increased water temperature on fish assemblages and their habitats were studied in the streams of the Han River watershed when the water temperature was supposed to increase by $1^{\circ}C$, $2^{\circ}C$, and $3^{\circ}C$ in each sampling site. The percent changes in suitable habitats for each species and in species number within a site were determined, based on the estimated maximum thermal tolerances of 51 fish species whose habitats were classified into four reaches: upstream, up-/midstream, midstream, and mid-/downstream. The maximum thermal tolerance ranged between $25.0^{\circ}C$ and $31.0^{\circ}C$ and significantly increased as the habitat reaches move from upstream to mid-/downstream. With the increases in water temperature, the average suitable habitats for all 51 species were decreased by 31% ($+1^{\circ}C$), 46% ($+2^{\circ}C$), and 60% ($+3^{\circ}C$). The increased water temperature, however, did not induce significant differences in the changes in suitable habitats among four reaches within each level of temperature increase. The relative frequencies of the sampling sites classified into six levels according to the percent change in the number of species in each site were significantly different among three levels of water temperature increase, with relatively greater changes in the sites where 0~20% and 61~100% of species were affected.

This study presents the impact of natural flow patterns on downstream fish habitat and economic outcomes in the Dal Stream, Korea. The study reach is 3.35 km long, located downstream form the Goesan Dam. To assess such impact, this study performed physical habitat simulations. The River2D model was used for the computation of the flow and the HSI model for the habitat simulation. Two physical habitat variables, flow depth and velocity, were used. The Zacco platypus, Zacco temminckii, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, and Opsariichthys bidens were selected as the target species in the study area. Using the building block approach (BBA), the scenarios for the hydropeaking mitigation were presented. Scenario 1 and scenario 2 were proposed by using the magnitude - duration concept and averaged the hydrologic data over the each month, respectively. Simulation results indicated that the scenarios effects significantly increased by about 18.6% for the weighted usable area (WUA). In addition, hydroelectric power benefits with both scenarios were investigated. It was revealed that the change of storing and releasing water decreased by about 27% for hydroelectric power benefits. In order to increase economic benefits, the scenario was modified with the discharges corresponding to the hydropeaking condition except the flood season. As a result, the hydroelectric power benefits were almost the same, however the aquatic habitat for the target species increased by about 5%. The change of dam re-operations through natural flow patterns provides an opportunity to minimize environmental and economic benefits in order to balance water management.

As a series of basic research to draw the pilot design measures for developing the habitat apparatus of Sulculus diversicolor supertexta inhabiting the coastal area of Jeju island, this study conducted a water tank experiment to understand the habitat marine environment of Sulculus diversicolor supertexta and the preference of habitat space focusing on the research fisheries performing the discharge of marine products. In the composition degree of marine algae in both fisheries, Donggwi-ri showed the highest gulfweed (79.3%) as brown algae and there were some coralline algae (17.2%) as red algae. Hansu-ri yielded the highest gulfweed (48.1%) as brown algae, which was followed by sea lettuce (10.4%) as green algae. In the preference of habitat space, the shelter angles 40° showed the highest adhesion as number of 82.9, which was followed by 60° and 70° as 69.2 and 68.2 respectively (P<0.05) by reviewing the environmental characteristics of habit of Salculus diversicolor supertexta in the coastal fishery of Jeju Island, when considering the adhesion rate in each of five shelters with different angles. In the future, there should be continuous research and monitoring for designing the fish shelters suitable for the coastal fisheries of Jeju island, and it would be also necessary to add the field-centered sustainable concrete research.

Distribution of fish community depends largely on environmental disturbance such as habitat change. In this study, we evaluated the impact of environmental variables and microhabitat patch types on fish distribution in Yudeung Stream at 15 sites between early May and late June 2019. We used non-metric multidimensional scaling to examine the distribution patterns of fish in each site. Gnathopogon strigatus, Squalidus gracilis majimae, Zacco koreanus, and Zacco platypus were associated with riffle and boulder areas, whereas Iksookimia koreensis, Acheilognathus koreensis, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Sarcocheilichthys nigripinnis morii, and Odontobutis interrupta were associated with large shallow areas. In contrast, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius auratus, Lepomis macrochirus, and Micropterus salmoides were found at downstream sites associated with large pool areas, sandy/clay-bottomed areas, and vegetated areas. On the basis of these results, we suggest that microhabitat patch types are important in determining the diversity and abundance of fish communities, since a mosaic of different microhabitats supports diverse fish species. As such, microhabitat patches are key components of freshwater stream ecosystem heterogeneity, and a suitable patch composition in stream construction or restoration schemes will support ecologically healthy food webs.

본 연구의 목적은 국가하천의 생태건강도 평가, 보존 및 관리를 위해 현재 국가에서 이용되는 확립된 하천다변수 모델이 개발되기 이전의 초기에 개발된 어류를 이용한 생물통합지수에 기반을 둔 생태건강도 평가모델을 소개하는 것이다. 초기의 어류를 이용한 IBI 모델은 2004~2006년 사이에 개발되었고, 연구 초기에 건강성 평가모델은 10개 메트릭 모델로 구성되었고, 이후에 현재 국가에서 어류에 의거한 생태건강성 평가를 위한 8개 메트릭 모델로서 4대강 수계의 하천 및 강들에 적용하기 위해 최종적으로 확립되었다. 본 논문에서는 어류조사법이 어떻게 확립되었고, 어떻게 메트릭 속성이 선정되었는지를 설명하며, 어류메트릭 모델 개발과 함께 내성도 길드 및 트로픽 길드가 어떻게 분류체계를 대별하게 되었는지를 제시한다. 초기에 제시된 10개의 메트릭 모델은 현재 쓰는 8개의 메트릭 모델로 전환되었고, 이 모델에서는 초기모델에서 포함된 M2 및 M7 메트릭이 제거되었다. 또한 초기에는 건강도의 기준이 6개 범주로 나누었으나, 현재는 4개 범주 (최상, 양호, 보통, 불량)로 대별하여 이용하고 있다. 이런 초기의 모델은 4대강의 여러 강 및 하천에 적용평가 되었다. 2000년대 초반에 모델 개발을 위해 어류 IBI 값들은 화학적 변수(BOD, COD: 유기물 오염 지표) 및 물리적 서식지 변수들과의 값들과 비교평가 한 후, 화학적 지표를 이용한 수질과 물리적 서식지 변수를 이용한 서식지 건강성을 비교 평가하여 왜 차이가 나타나는지를 설명하였다. 이런 초기의 IBI 모델 개발 프로세스는 적용된 IBI 모델 및 메트릭 속성의 확립을 이해하는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 따라서, 이런 노력은 하천 및 수계 관리자들에게 뿐만 아니라 육수학자 및 어류 생태학자들에게 효율적인 생태계 보존 및 관리전략을 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

흑천수계를 구성하는 흑천 6개의 본류 및 14개의 지류 하천을 대상으로 어류군집의 분포특성을 분석한 결과, 총 9과 26종의 서식이 확인되었으며, 이 중 Cyprinidae 어류가 15종으로 다양하게 분포하였다. 흑천수계에서 우점종은 갈겨니 (29%), 피라미 (22%), 버들치 (21%) 등의 순으로나타났다. 또한, 흑천 본류에서 이들 우점종의 분포특성은 최상류역은 버들치, 상류역은 갈겨니, 중-상류역은 갈겨니, 피라미, 중-하류역은 피라미에 의해 하천특성이 결정되는 것으로 나타났다. 서식이 확인된 어류 중 한국고유종은 한강납줄개 등 7과 13종 (50%)로 고유종의 구성비가 높게 나타나 한반도 평균적인 고유종 빈도인 23%에 비해 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하천차수별 어류의 분포특정은 하천차수가 증가할수록 종수 및 개체수가 증가하는 것으로 경향을 보였는데 이는 하천크기의 영향보다는 지점간의 이격거리 및 지류하천의 지리적 위치에 따른 차이가 어류 분포에 있어서 더 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 사료되었다. 또한, 내성도 빛 트로픽 길드를 분석한 결과에서는 하천차수가 증가함에 따라 민감종 및 충식종은 다소 감소하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 분석되였으며, 내성종 빛 잡식종은 하천차수가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 민감종 및 충식종 비율이 50% 이상 되는 구간들이 많은 것으로 분석되어 혹천수계가 하천의 자연성 및 서식환경의 보존가치가 높은 수계로 사료된다.
