  • The occurrence of 'algal bloom', caused by the mass proliferation of phytoplankton, causes serious problems in streams and lakes in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the phytoplankton filter-feeding trait of Unio douglasiae, a type of freshwater clam, was used to reduce the algal bloom in outdoor water tanks during the summer. This involved the construction of a U. douglasiae cultivation apparatus, wherein 1,000 clams were divided into 8 rectangular baskets arranged in the shape of an empty square. The control tank was manufactured in exactly the same shape within the water tank, but without the addition of clams. The algal bloom-reducing effect of U. douglasiae was confirmed by the measurement of (and comparing between) the water quality at the center and periphery of the test and control cultivation apparatus. Water quality measurements included the measurement of water temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO) content, and chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ concentrations; the water quality was measured twice a month between June and November 2014.The results of these analyses did not show a significant difference in water quality (temperature, pH, turbidity, DO) between the center and periphery of the test and control tanks. However, the chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ concentration was observed to be much lower at the center of the test tank compared to that at the center and periphery of the control tank, as well as at the periphery of the test tank. This was believed to be a result of the U. douglasiae surrounding the center of the test tank, which prevented the influx of plankton from the periphery. Accordingly, the results of these analyses suggest the possibility that U. douglasiae cultivation could reduce the proliferation of algal blooms in lakes and streams during the summer. In particular, these results indicate possible improvements in U. douglasiae activity (reduction in algal blooms) by their effective arrangement in the water bodies.

  • 생물조절기법 (Biomanipulation)을 이용한 수질개선 방법으로서, 이매패류인 S. woodiana 종이 여과섭식을 통해 남조류(M. aeruginosa)를 효율적으로 제어할 수 있다는 것을 안정동위원소($^{13}C$, $^{15}N$) 추적자 실험을 통하여 밝혀내었다. 이매패류를 이용하여 호소수의 남조류 번성을 억제함으로서 호소 건강성을 회복시키는 것도 중요하지만, 외래종보다는 국내 자생종을 활용하는 것이 생태계 변화를 최소화 할 수 있다는 것을 고려해야 할 것이다.

  • 유해남조의 생물학적 제어를 위한 연구의 일환으로 북한강수계(가평)에 서식하는 이매패 말조개(Unio douglasiae)의 섭식특성을 조사하였다. 섭식실험은 크게 시간별, 개체크기, 동물밀도, 먹이밀도 (엽록소-a 농도) 등에 따라 패류의 여과율 및 배설물 생산량을 각각 측정하였다. 말조개의 여과율은 섭식 후 적용 7시간째 (0.21 L $g^{-1}h^{-1}$, 0.54 mg $g^{-1}h^{-1}$), 크기 5 cm보다 작은 개체에서 최고 여과율 및 배설물 생산량 (5.89 L $g^{-1}h^{-1}$, 16.38 mg $g^{-1}h^{-1}$)을 각각 나타냈다. 또한 가장 낮은 먹이밀도 (엽록소-a 88.5 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$)에서 0.41 L $g^{-1}h^{-1}$로 최고 여과율을 보였으며, 일정 먹이농도 이상에서는 배설물 생산량이 증가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 패류의 조류 제어효과는 개체 밀도가 증가할수록 뚜렷한 효과를 나타냈다. 결국 이상의 결과들은 북한강에 서식하는 이매패 말조개가 부영양호수의 남조류 제어의 유용생물로서 적용 가능성을 입증하였다.

  • A indigenous freshwater bivalve Unio douglasiae was introduced to compare the differences in the efficacy of algal bloom control and the appearances of mussel-mediated adverse effects between two different reservoirs such as mesotrophic (Shingu r.) and hypertrophic (Seokmun r.). We constructed the study mesocosm in the shore of each reservoir, stocked the mussel at density of $30indiv./m^3$ for 7 days, and measured daily the phytoplankton density and water quality. In mesotrophic reservoir, even though approximately 38% of suspended solids and chlorophyll-a was reduced by stocked bivalves for the first 3 days, algal density, ammonia and soluble reactive phosphorus gradually increased with increasing mussel death. In hypertrophic reservoir, mussels strongly inhibited suspended solids and chlorophyll-a by the termination of study with no increase of mussel death and nutrient, especially ammonia concentration. In both reservoirs, a strong selectivity showed mussels preferred to diatom rather than cyanobacteria and green algae without algal density and nutrient level. Our results indicate that an introduction of freshwater bivalve U. douglasiae is more strategic to improve water quality of hypertrophic than mesotrophic reservoir, but many preliminary studies on the treatment method and the selection of target water system are required.

  • 서로 다른 두 시기의 부영양호(일감호) 현장수에 대한 한국산 말조개(U. douglasiae)의 섭식특성을 비교 조사하였다. 두 실험수 모두 패류밀도가 클수록 엽록소 a 감소가 뚜렷하였으며, 동일한 패류밀도에서는 저온기 현장수에서 엽록소 a 감소가 더 뚜렷하였다. 저온기 현장수에서는 패류 밀도에 따른 여과율 및 식물플랑크톤 현존량 변화가 뚜렷하였으나, 고온기 현장수에서는 두 패류 밀도의 여과율 및 식물플랑크톤 현존량 변화가 유사한 경향을 보였다. 각 출현종에 대한 말조개의 조류제어능은 저온기 현장수의 S. ulna와 S. hantzschii, 고온기 현장수의 S. ecornis, T. regulare, P. simplex는 빠른 시간 내에 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 저온기 현장수의 S. ecornis는 서서히 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 고온기 현장수의 M. aeruginosa는 제어효율이 가장 좋지 않았다. 따라서 한국산 말조개는 저온기 규조류 대발생 수역의 생태친화적 제어에 효과적인 생물제재로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The purpose of this study is to determine the differences of the conchiolin layer, prismatic layer and nacreous layer deposited within the shell of the freshwater family Unionidae. shether they possess species-specific characteristics and differences of the microstructure of these layers, A Scanning electron microscopic obwervations were conducted on seven species. The results indicate that all species possess thin and homogeneous layers within the periostracum. The prismatic layers of these species were composed of ednsely packed prisms. The prismatic layers of the shell in six species were typical shape of prisms. especially Inio douglasiae and Lamprotual gottschei. But, in Unio douglasiae sinuolatus, it was irregular and oblique prism shape.The nacreous layer of weven unionids characterized by possession of three types by lamillae shape: thin and homogeneous on genus Anodonta(0.4 pm size of lamella), Unio(1.3pm) and Lamprotual (1.7pm), homogeneous in shape and irregular in size of lamillae in Lanceolaria(1.0 pm)and irregulat in shape and size in Solenaia(0.2-0.4 pm). The microstructure of the naceous layer may be useful as a taxonomic character at the generic level.

  • Water quality and plankton community dynamics after the introduction of two domestic freshwater shellfishes (Unio douglasiae Griffith & Pidgeon and Cipangoplaudina chinese malleata Reeve), were monitored daily in enclosures, which constructed in the tidal zone of eutrophic agricultural reservoir (Shingu reservoir, Korea) for one week between July 31 and August 6, 2007. This biomanipulation study to improve the water quality of eutrophic lake, comprised eight enclosures (duplicate x four kinds), enclosure had no mussels (Control), stocked only with U. douglasiae at density of 60 individuals (UD), stocked only with C. chinese malleata at density of 60 individuals (CCM), and combined-stocked with 30 individuals of UD and 30 individuals of CCM (MIX), respectively. Our results clearly indicate that UD strongly decreased the concentration of chlorophyll-a and increased the water transparency, whereas CCM and MIX (included CCM) did increase algal density or decrease transparency, due perhaps to the disturbance of C. chinese malleata. Therefore, the field application of shellfish to enhance the water quality of eutrophic agricultural reservoir, should consider the grazing characteristics of biological control agents, especially active moving animals like snail.

  • Six species of freshx\water Unionidae mussels in Korea, Anodonta arcaeformis flavotincta, A. woodiana, Unio douglasiae, U. douglasiae sinuloatus, Lamprotula gottschei, Lanceolaria acorohyncha were compared in regard to the various taxonomical characteristics of ultra structures of shells and glochidia. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows;the orter demibranchs of all the females of six species have served as marsupial(gravid)pouch. However, all the foru demibranchs were used as the marsupium in some female individuals of L. gottschei. The glochidia of A. arcaeformis flavotincta, A. woodiana and L. gottschei were separated one by one with the mucous strings and U. douglasiae sinuolatus were round-subtriangular in shape, and those of L. gottschei were subelliptical in shape. Each of the glochidial shell valves of six species had a hook studded with many spines on the superior face on valve. The glochidial shell valve had two or three rows of large spines; A. arcaeformis flavotincta, A. woodiana, and L. gottschei had two rows and three rows in U. douglasiae, U. douglasiae sinuolatus, and L. acrorhyncha. The numbers of sensory hairs of A. arcaeformis flavotincta and A. woodiana were all eight, those of U. douglasiae, U. douglasiae sinuolatus and L. acrorhyncha were six. and that of L. gottschei was four. The external and internal surfaces of the glochidial shell valves of A. A. arcadformis flavotincta, A. woodiana, and L. gottschei had foveolate and psilate in U. douglaseae, U. douglasiae sinuolatus and L. acrorhyncha.
