The seasonal and interannual variations in fish assemblages in the coastal waters off Gijang were examined with an otter trawl from 2015 to 2016. A total of 59 fish species was collected during the study period. The dominant species were Caelorinchus multispinulosus, Clupea pallasii pallasii and Chelidonichthys spinosus. Seasonal changes in fish assemblages appeared to be distinct in the study area. The fish assemblages in summer and autumn were clearly distinguishable from those in other seasons, and the largest numbers of species and individuals were captured in winter and summer, respectively. Because fish assemblages are closely related to changes in water temperature, long-term changes in water temperature can have a significant impact on the productivity of offshore fisheries by changing fish species composition, habitat migration, and growth rate of fish.

This study investigated the community structure and seasonal variation of the fish assemblages on Jangbong tidal flat, Incheon, Korea. Fish were collected monthly using a small otter trawl from November 1999 to January 2001. Thirty-six fish species were recorded, with a mean density of 185 individuals and biomass of 2,594.3 gWWt. The most abundant species by number were Johnius grypotus (23.7%), Acanthogobius hasta (17.8%), and Cynoglossus joyneri (10.7%), while the dominant species by catch weight were Acanthogobius hasta (21.2%), Sebastes schlegeli (16.2%), J. grypotus (14.0%), and C. joyneri (10.8%). Cluster analysis and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) were applied to assess the seasonal fluctuation in the fish assemblages. Based on the result of the cluster analysis and nMDS ordination, the faunal group could be divided into cold- and warm-water specialist groups. The cold-water specialists included A. hasta, Acanthogobius luridus, Triaenopogon barbatus, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, and Liza haematocheila. The warm-water specialists were J. grypotus, C. joyneri, S. schlegeli, and Hexagrammos otakii. In conclusion, the community structure showed a distinct seasonal trend, which seemed to be related to the seasonal fluctuations in water temperature.

Numerous studies suggested that fish assemblage structure reflects the status of stream ecosystems. The status of streams integrity, including various trophic levels, water quality and habitat degradation, can be assessed by fish assemblages. In this study, we investigated the relationships between fish assemblages and streamline geometry of streams. Previous studies suggested that geomorphologic parameter can be a critical factor of permeability between adjacent two systems. From a landscape ecological perspective, edges may partially control the flow rate of energy between two adjacent systems. Thus, the Streamline geometry can be a geomorphologic parameter that exhibits the integrity of stream. We selected the Nakdong river for study areas, which is one of major rivers and the longest (525 km) River in South Korea. We used the revised IBI representing overall ecological characteristics of Korean fish assemblages and eight sub-assessment criteria of IBI, collected from 82 sampling sites in the Nakdong River. For calculating the Streamline geometry, we measured fractal dimension index that generally used in biology, ecology and landscape ecology. We used the digital land-use/land-cover map and generated a 1-km buffer for each sampling site and refined the shape of the Streamlines. Pearson correlation analyses were performed between Streamline geometry and IBI and sub-assessment criteria of IBI. The results show that IBI and eight sub-assessments of fish are significantly correlated with geometry of Streamline. The fractal dimension of Streamline geometry were related with IBI (r = 0.48) and six sub-assessments of IBI, including total number of native fish and native species, the number of riffle benthic species, sensitive species, tolerant species and native insectivore. Especially, the number of tolerant species(r = -0.52) and native insectivore(r = 0.52) show strong correlation with geometry of Streamline. These results indicate that lower Streamline geometry can result in poor fish assemblages, while higher geometry of Streamline can enhance fish assemblages by potentially supplying insects and better habitat conditions. We expect the results of our study to be useful for stream restoration and management. However, we see the necessity of study investigating the mechanisms how Streamline geometry affect fish assemblages.

The accurate estimation of fish assemblages is highly dependent on the sampling gear used for sampling. We used data from 15 sampling sites along the Nakdong River, which is a large river in South Korea, to identify differences in assemblages and sizes of freshwater fishes collected with either cast nets or gill nets, the two most commonly used sampling gear in South Korea. The two gears differed in the fish assemblages they captured, with more species caught by gill nets. Further, due to its tighter mesh size, the cast net caught significantly smaller fishes than the gill nets(independent t-test, p<0.05). We found the cast net to be appropriate for species that inhabit shallow (less than 2 m) and open water, but inappropriate for deep water, habitats with plant beds, and nocturnal species. Thus, cast net sampling is not efficient in a large river environment, and a combination of sampling methods is more suitable for understanding fish assemblages in such habitats. In general, appropriate selection of fishing methods to specific habitats is necessary to improve data quality and minimize the misrepresentation of environmental conditions.

Monthly fish samples were collected using bottom gill nets and analyzed to study species composition and seasonal variation of fish assemblages in the coastal waters off Gadeok-do, Korea in 1998. During the study period, a total of 49 fish species representing 30 families were collected. The fish assemblages predominantly consisted of Limanda yokohamae, which accounted for $53.3\%$ of the number of individuals and $42.2\%$ in the biomass. The fish species, which had over 100 individuals, included Cynoglossus abbreviatus, Ditrema temmincki, Hexagrammos otakii, and Stephanolepis cirrhifer. These four species accounted for $24.1\%$ of the number of individuals and $24.3\%$ of the biomass. More fish species were collected in May and June than in any other months. The number of individuals and the amount of biomass peaked in April and May and reached a low in August. While the predominance of L. yokohamae caused the lowest species diversity by number of individuals in April, the predominance of Platycephalus indicus caused the lowest species diversity by biomass in July. Although gill nets show a strong selectivity for the target species or for size, gill nets can be used as an alternative fishing gear to collect fish in waters with rough bottoms, like rocky reefs, where other kinds of fishing gear such as trawls can not be used.

To present the spatial variation of fish assemblages in the Geum River in Korea, the concept of beta diversity (β-diversity) estimates based on the variance of the community data table was applied. Fish communities and environmental variables were collected from 13 sampling sites along the in mid-low reaches of the River. We calculated the β-diversity and local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) values at each site depending on the two types of data, 'occurrence' with Jaccard and Sørensen dissimilarity coefficients, and 'abundance' with Hellinger distance. Multivariate and correlation analyses were also performed to determine the relationships between LCBD and other variables, such as community indices and physicochemical and hydrological factors. The β-diversity values of fish communities in the River were estimated as 0.218 and 0.145 for occurrence data table with Jaccard and Sørensen respectively, and 0.268 for abundance data. Similar patterns of LCBD along the sampling sites were detected in two dissimilarity measurements of occurrence table, and LCBD values with abundance data were slightly different. The LCBD values are strongly correlated with community indices, and also suitable for indicating the uniqueness of fish assemblages. However, further research is needed to determine the LCBD value as an indicator of environmental variability.

본 연구는 wadeable stream (1차~4차 하천)을 대상으로 보의 유·무에 따른 어류군집의 차이를 분석하였다. 하천의 규모에 따른 차이를 분석하기 위해서 하천차수로 구분하여 보의 유·무가 어류군집에 영향을 미치는지를 파악하였으며, 3차와 4차 하천에서 어류군집의 차이가 확인되었다(P<0.005, PERMANOVA). 보의 유·무에 따라 총 출현 종수, 총 출현 개체수, 종 풍부도와 같은 요인들이 차이를 나타냈으며, 외래종, 고유종, 보호종 개체수의 경우 차이를 나타내지 않았다. SIMPER 분석을 통해서 어류군집 차이에 주로 기여하는 종을 분석한 결과 해당 차수의 하천에 우점적으로 나타나는 피라미(Zacco platypus), 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus), 돌고기(Pungtungia herzi)와 같은 보편종으로 확인되었다(contribution>5%). 이들 종은 모두 보가 있는 지점에서 평균 상대풍부도가 높게 나타났으며, 보로 인해 변화된 환경이 이들 종에 대해서 주요 서식처를 제공하는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 전국 범위에서 보가 어류군집에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 경향성을 제시하였으며, 이러한 결과는 향후 보의 관리를 위한 연구에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

진동만 다구리 잘피밭과 인근 잘피가 없는 해역의 어류군집을 비교하기 위해서 2002년 1월부터 12월까지 소형 빔 트롤을 이용하여 어류를 매월 채집하였다. 조사기간 동안 우점하였던 쥐노래미, 감성돔, 농어, 베도라치, 흰베도라치, 주둥치, 문절망둑, 그리고 실양태가 우점하였다. 특히 감성돔과 농어는 잘피밭에서 문절망둑과 실양태는 잘피가 없는 해역에서 많이 출현하였다. 청보리멸, 산호해마, 복섬 및 돌팍망둑, 실고기, 흰꼬리볼락 및 볼락 등은 잘피밭에서만, 양태 및 날개망둑 등은 잘피가 없는 해역에서만 출현하였다. 본 조사해역에서 출현한 어류는 대부분이 소형 어종이거나 대형 어종의 유어들로 구성되어 있어서, 잘피밭이 작은 크기의 어종들에게 좋은 성육장의 역할을 하고 있었다. 어류군집은 뚜렷한 계절변동을 보였는데, 출현 종수는 2002년 5월에, 출현 개체수는 2002년 4월에서 7월 사이에 아주 높았다. 한편 생체량은 2002년 4월과 7월에 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 대체적으로 겨울철에는 출현 종수, 개체수 및 생체량이 모두 낮았다. 잘피밭과 잘피가 없는 인근해역의 어류 군집을 비교해보면, 출현 종수, 개체수 및 생체량이 모두 잘피밭에서 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 잘피밭은 잘피가 밀생되어 있어서 먹이 이용 가능성 및 포식자로부터 보호받을 수 있는 서식처의 특성에 의한 것으로 주요 우점종의 체장분포에서도 두 서식처간의 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다.
