강원도 강릉시에 위치하지만 성격이 서로 상이한 남대천과 연곡천 하구와 연안역에서 발생하고 있는 오염현상의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 하천의 수질과 동해 연안으로 방류되는 오염물질의 량을 2002년 4월부터 11월까지 월 1회씩 7회에 걸쳐 조사하였다 남대천은 하천수질 기준 II-V 등급으로 변화가 큰 반면, 연곡천은 거의 I, II 등급 수질을 유지하고 있다. 상ㆍ하류간 변화는 물론 시기별 변화폭도 연곡천보다 남대천이 크다. 동해연안으로 배출되는 오염물질의 량도 유량이 평균 1.4배 정도 많고 오염물질의 농도도 더 높은 남대천이 연곡천보다 BOD는 15.5배, COD는 2.6배, 총질소는 1.7배, 총인은 6.9배 더 많이 배출시키고 있어 연안생태계에 미치는 영향도 클 것으로 사료된다.

This study focused on the causes of fish kills and its prevention methods in Yudeung Stream, Daejeon, Korea. Intense field data, continuous water quality monitoring system and water quality modeling were applied to analyze the causes. Pollutant can be delivered to urban streams by surface runoff and combined sewer overflows in rainfall events. However, water quality analysis and water quality modeling results indicate that the abrupt fish kills in the Yudeung stream seems to be caused by combined effect of DO depletion, increase in turbidity and other toxic material. Excessive fish population in the study area may harm the aesthetic value of the stream and also has greater potential for massive fish kills. It is suggested to implement methods to reduce delivery of pollutants to the stream not only to prevent fish kills but also to keep balance of ecosystem including human uses. Frequent clean up of the urban surface and CSO, installation of detention basin will be helpful. In the long run, it seems combined sewer system has be replaced with separate sewer system for more effective pollutant removal in the urban area.

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.

Most of the islands of Korea are distributed in the South and West Sea, and it consists of independent small stream. As a result, the fish community that inhabits the island's stream is isolated from the mainland and other island. This study utilized a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and a random forest model to analyze the relationship between environmental variables and fish communities inhabiting islands in South Korea. Through the SOM analysis, the fish communities were divided into three clusters, and there were differences in biotic and abiotic factors between these groups. Cluster I consisted of sites with relatively larger island areas and a higher number of species and population. It was found that 15 out of 16 indicator species were included. Meanwhile, the remaining clusters had fewer species and populations. Cluster II, especially, showed the lowest impact from physical variables such as water width and depth. As a result of predicting the species richness using the random forest model, physical variables in habitats, such as stream width and water depth, had a relatively higher importance on species richness. On the other hand, forest area was the most important variables for predicting Shannon diversity, followed by maximum water depth, and gravel. The results suggest that this study can be used as basic data for establishing a stream ecosystem management strategy in terms of conservation and protection of biological resources in streams of islands.

호산천에 서식하는 멸종위기어종인 한둑중개의 섭식생태에 대하여 2006년 9월부터 2007년 8월까지 계절별로 채집하여 조사, 연구하였다. 한둑중개의 소화관 내용물에서 확인된 먹이생물로는 대부분이 수서곤충이었고 그 이외에 선충, 소형어류, 어류의 알, 다슬기 등이 조사되었다. 먹이생물로 이용되는 수서곤충의 상대적중요성지수비는 파리목 (Diptera), 날도래목 (Trichoptera), 하루살이목 (Ephemeroptera), 강도래목 (Plecoptera) 순이었다. Chironomidae sp. 1 (White type)과 Hydropsyche kozhantschikovi가 가장 중요한 먹이생물로 조사되었다. 건조 중량비에 따른 계절적 먹이생물의 변동으로서 봄과 여름에는 Trichoptera의 비율이 가장 높았고, 가을에는 Diptera, 겨울에는 Plecoptera가 가장 비율이 높았다.

Natural disturbances and human development can cause habitat fragmentation. Plant and wildlife can become isolated, and habitat fragmentation and shrinkage have been recognized as a key issue facing the conservation of biological diversity. However, eco-corridors can alleviate the problem by providing linkages between isolated patches. The purpose of this study is to plan the eco-corridor for connecting urban forest via the urban stream with low cost and to restore the ecosystem. The results were as follows (1) Falco subbuteo, and Dryocopus martius inhabit in the study site. They are protected species designated by Korean Ministry of Environment. Thus the study site should be preserved as urban wildlife habitat species biodiversity (2) If the biodiversity of the study site is maintained properly, the eco-corridor can be constructed with low cost.

본 연구는 산지황폐계류에 시공한 사방공작물이 계곡생태계에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 시공 전후를 기준으로 조사지점별로 저서성 대형무척추동물의 출현종의 변화분석 및 생물학적 수질평가를 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 시공 전 출현한 저서성 대형무척추동물의 총 수는 4문 6강 11목 22과 25종 3,086개체였으나 시공 후 조사에서는 4문 6강 10목 17과 19종 1,208개체로 감소하였다. 특히, 직접적인 사방공작물의 시공이 이루어진 조사지점에서는 시공 후 생물종이 전혀 출현하지 않거나, 극소량만이 채집되어 서식종의 현존량을 기초로 하는 다양도 지수, 풍부도 지수, 균등도 지수가 감소 또는 산출되지 않았다. 저서생물의 군집분석 결과 및 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생태점수(ESB)는 모든 조사지점에서 시공전보다 시공 후에 오수생물계열, 환경상태, 수질등급과 같은 계곡환경질이 저하된 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 시공전 상류는 양호 및 다소 양호, 중류는 다소 불량, 하류는 불량 및 매우 불량으로 분석되었으나, 시공 후 상류 일부 지역을 제외한 나머지 수역은 매우 불량으로 분석되었다. 또한 대상 계류의 수질등급의 경우 시공 전에는 $I{\sim}III$등급 사이로 분류되었으나, 시공 후 대조군을 제외하고는 모두 $IV{\sim}V$등급으로 악화되었다 이와 같이 사방공작물의 시공후 모든 조사지점에서 발생한 저서성 대형무척추동물의 서식 환경 파괴는 개체수의 감소와 수질악화로 이어졌다. 이 결과는 사방공작물의 시공 직후에 조사 분석한 것이므로, 향후 장기간의 모니터링을 통하여 시공한 사방공작물의 재해방지 효과와 함께 계류 생태계의 회복과정에 대한 지속적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Environmental pollution has become more and more serious in urban areas since industrialization as most streams and rivers were developed heavily because of economic opportunism. Recently river restoration techniques, applied in advanced countries, have been introduced to Korea. But the application of river restoration techniques developed in advanced countries, has a lot of limitations in respect of economic loss during construction, suitability for the domestic situation and the problem of flood control. The method of minimizing the problems must take into consideration these issues, including economic considerations. So from these points of view this study intends to plan ecological river restoration and to create a nature friendly river in the case of the Chungrang river. The subject site is the upper part of Chungrang river, from the Nokchun bridge to Sang-kye bridge, where the ecosystem is well preserved in comparison with other parts of the river. The subject site is divided into 10 sections for plant state investigation. The result of plant-state investigation showed pioneer water plants such as Persicaria thunbergii, Oenanthe jaranica, Rumex crispus. appeared very often. On the basis of the existing plant state, this study has planned an appropriate plant state for the river and has planned for bank protection using a method of construction, which is suitable for natural river. In this study, first of all, it is intended to investigate the plant growth state of Chungrang river and try to plan a particular ecosystem for the river for the purpose of the revival of the natural river.

습지는 물과 물 생태계의 점이지대로서 생태학적 및 경제학적 가치가 매우 높다. 내륙 담수습지 중에서 가장 중요한 하천습지는 서식지라기보다 유로(channel)로 인식되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하류 연안의 지류 내에 형성된 자연습지의 특성을 고찰하고 그 관리방안을 모색하였다. 지류 내의 자연습지는 하천이 중간 규모일수록 본류에서 먼 곳에 넓게 소택지를 이룬다. 이것은 자연습지가 지류의 하상종단곡선에 빙기에 굴삭된 구간과 간빙기에 매적된 구간이 불협화로 만나는 구간에 형성되기 때문이다. 이러한 자연습지들을 효과적으로 보전하기 위해서는 습지의 세부사항을 목록화 하고 정밀 지도를 작성하여야 한다. 그리고 자연습지를 개간한 농경지의 일부를 습지생태계로 되돌려 생태학습장이나 생태관광지로 개발하는 역간척이 필요하다.
