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.

Because an ecological community consists of diverse species that vary nonlinearly with environmental variability, its dynamics are complex and difficult to analyze. To investigate temporal variations of benthic macroinvertebrate community, we used the community data that were collected at the sampling site in Baenae Stream near Busan, Korea, which is a clean stream with minimum pollution, from July 2006 to July 2013. First, we used a self-organizing map (SOM) to heuristically derive the states that characterizes the biotic condition of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in forms of time series data. Next, we applied the hidden Markov model (HMM) to fine-tune the states objectively and to obtain the transition probabilities between the states and the emission probabilities that show the connection of the states with observable events such as the number of species, the diversity measured by Shannon entropy, and the biological water quality index (BMWP). While the number of species apparently addressed the state of the community, the diversity reflected the state changes after the HMM training along with seasonal variations in cyclic manners. The BMWP showed clear characterization of events that correspond to the different states based on the emission probabilities. The environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation also indicated the seasonal and cyclic changes according to the HMM. Though the usage of the HMM alone can guarantee the convergence of the training or the precision of the derived states based on field data in this study, the derivation of the states by the SOM that followed the fine-tuning by the HMM well elucidated the states of the community and could serve as an alternative reference system to reveal the ecological structures in stream communities.

Typical of large, oligotrophic lakes, Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l, Mongolia, exhibits complex morphometry which should support a spatially heterogeneous community of benthic macroinvertrates. The lake also exhibits a broad range of land uses. Based on the variation in land use and complex physical habitat of the lake (e.g. substrate variation and presence of affluent streams in bays), we asked two questions. First, does density of total benthic macroinvertebrates vary between different bays in Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l? Second, does density of individual benthic taxa vary by bay? Samples collected in 1997, the last year for benthic sampling of the lake, were designed to test for variation in macroinvertebrate density between bays and can now be used to establish baseline variation in density for future studies. A total of 56 Ponar grab samples were analyzed from six bays in Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l. Results of a general linear model analysis of variance showed that total density of macroinvertebrates varied only slightly between bays of the lake, but that most individual taxa showed significant variation between bays. Variation in density for most taxa was linked to substrate composition rather than other geographic or physical variables in the lake. Recent increases in grazing intensity and ecotourism along the shores should be managed to reduce the nutrient load into the lake to avoid impairment of the benthic biota of this unique, ancient ecosystem.

The community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates in Upo wetland was identified, and the biological water quality was evaluated. In addition, through statistical analysis of current and literature data, ecological changes over time were evaluated for each wetland. Benthos were quantitatively collected in March, June, and September of 2020 and 2021, and 4 phyla, 5 classes, 16 orders, 42 families, 81 species and 3,406 individuals were identified. In the functional feeding group of Upo wetland, predators were dominant with 34 species (45.95%) and 1,504 individuals (41.84%). In the habitual dwelling group, sprawlers and swimmers showed the highest proportion in the number of species and individuals. Average biological indices in Mokpo and Upo were the highest and lowest, respectively, and it is considered that Mokpo maintains the healthy ecosystem for benthic macroinvertebrates. Community stability was high in Upo, and other wetlands are thought to be stabilizing. The ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate community is considered to be more suitable index among three biological water quality evaluation indices for the environmental evaluation of Upo wetland. The evaluation results on changes in environmental quality showed that Upo has stable ecosystem without significant change, Mokpo and Sajipo have significant increases in some indices.

본 연구는 2009년 5월부터 10월까지 태백시에 위치하고 있는 낙동강 상류의 폐탄광으로부터 유입되는 산성광산배수(Acid mine drainage)가 저서성 대형무척추동물의 군집에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 폐탄광의 영향을 받는 대상하천의 7개 지점과 대조하천의 3개 지점에서 계류형 정량채집망(Surber sampler $50{\times}50$ cm, 망목 0.2 mm)을 사용하여 정량채집을 하였고, 다양한 미소서식처에서 정성채집을 병행하였다. 조사 결과 전체조사지역에서 총 5문 6강 15목 53과 117종이 출현하였으며, 하천의 주요 분류군인 EPT-group이 71종(64.5%)으로 전체 출현종의 큰 부분을 차지하였다. 정량조사에서 대조하천 지점(St. A~C)의 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 79종 2,844개체가 출현한 반면, 폐탄광의 영향권에 있는 산성광산배수하천 (Acid mine drainage stream, AMDS) 지점(St. 1~7)에서는 총 58종 11,575개체가 출현하였다. AMDS에서는 오염에 내성이 강한 실지렁이, 부채하루살이, 개똥하루살이, 줄날도래류, 깔따구류 등이 우점하였다. 특히, AMDS의 군집지수(MacNaughton 우점도지수 평균 ${\pm}$표준편차 $0.52{\pm}0.21$, 범위 0.33~0.85; Shannon 다양도지수 $2.06{\pm}0.60$, 1.06~2.57)가 대조하천의 군집지수(우점도지수 $0.29{\pm}0.07$, 0.22~0.35; 다양도지수 $3.13{\pm}0.14$, 3.03~3.30)에 비해 큰 차이가 있었다. AMDS의 섭식기능군은 shredders와 scrapers의 비율이 낮았으며, 깔따구류(Chironomidae spp.)가 많이 출현하여 gathering-collector가 상대적으로 풍부하였다. 서식기능군은 clingers와 burrowers가 AMDS에서 상대적으로 더 풍부하였다. DCA 서열법과 유사도 분석 결과 AMDS와 대조하천의 지점들끼리 각각 묶여서 두 개의 그룹으로 구분되었으며, 폐탄광에 인접한 최상류 지점(St. 1)과 다른 지점들 간의 유사도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 생물학적 수질평가를 나타내는 한국오수생물지수(KSI)와 저서성 대형무척추동물을 이용한 생태평가점수(ESB)는 대부분의 지점에서 보통 및 양호의 상태를 나타냈으나, 최상류 지점(St. 1)은 매우 불량한 상태인 ${\alpha}$-중부수성으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로, 폐탄광에서 유출되는 산성광산배수의 영향권에 있는 하천의 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집에 악영향을 미쳐서 종풍부도와 군집구조, 기능군의 조성 및 수환경 건강성을 나타내는 생물지수에 있어서 대조하천의 군집과 큰 차이를 나타냈다.

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities and environments at the upper and lower sites of levees in the middle reaches of paenae stream, a tributary of the naktong river,were investigated in four seasons from August 1989 to may 1990. Current velocities were significantly fast at the loer sites than the upper sites of levees. Substratum compositions were also different between these two sites. Abundances of major species of benthic macroinvertebrates occurring in four seasons were primarily dtermined by temperature. in each location of levees, however, current velocities and substratum particle sizrs were important in determining species were generally higher than upper sites of levees. Biological indices were also high at the lower sites of levees. diversity, evenness and dominance indices were positively correlated with the quantity of the middle-sized large pebbles(3∼5cm in diameter) in stream bed.

On community data. sampled in regular intervals on a long-term basis. artificial neural networks were implemented to extract information on characterizing patterns of community changes. The Adaptive Resonance Theory and Kohonen Network were both utilized in learning benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Soktae Stream of the Suyong River collected monthly for three years. Initially, by regarding each monthly collection as a separate sample unit, communities were grouped into similar patterns after training with the networks. Subsequently, changes in communities in a sequence of samplings (e.g., two-month, four-month, etc.) were given as input to the networks. After training, it was possible to recognize new data set in line with the sampling procedure. Through the comparative study on benthic macroinvertebrates with these learning processes, patterns of community changes in chironomids diverged while those of the total benthic macro-invertebrates tended to be more stable.

The relationship between the number of benthic macroinvertebrate species and the accumulated survey area were investigated in a clean stream and an impaired stream of Korea. Five models to characterize species-area functions were compared, and the Weibull model fitted species-area data well. The other models (Arrhenius, Romell-Gleason, Kylin, Lognormal model) had small or notable bias. The maximum number of species and half-saturation area derived from the Weibull model may be used as the indicators of the carrying capacity and the habitat complexity respectively.

This study was conducted June 2011 at Gamo Lagoon, after tsunami of March 2011, to estimate food sources and utilization. The results show that the tsunami affected the sediment properties by changing the physical environmental alterations. The fatty acids of the gut content of Nuttallia olivacea mostly comprised the same organic matter found in the sediment. Fatty acids in the tissues showed mainly diatoms, bacteria, and dinoflagellates. That is, most of the food sources (i.e., diatoms, bacteria, dinoflagellates, macroalgae, and terrestrial organic matter) probably pass through the digestive system unharmed; however, terrestrial organic matter, which is refractory to biochemical degradation, indicated a different assimilation trend between the gut content and the tissue. This result suggests that input of labile organic matter from the sediment may control selective metabolism in N. olivacea. From these results, although the physical environment of sediment characteristics by tsunami changed, the food utilization of N. olivacea suggested a better assimilation of selected components from the gut content, irrespective of physical alteration.
