신갈호의 어류군집 특징 및 어구별 채집 효과를 밝히기 위해 2020년 8월부터 2021년 10월까지 조사를 실시하였다. 채집 어구는 호소에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 족대와 투망, 자망, 정치망을 사용하였다. 조사결과, 조사기간 동안 채집된 어류는 7과 18종 3,501개체, 생체량 117,670g이었다. 개체수비 우점종은 참붕어(Pseudorasbora parva, 29.9%), 아우점종은 피라미(Zacco platypus, 25.1%), 다음으로 배스(Micropterus salmoides, 19.3%), 붕어(Carassius auratus, 9.1%), 밀어(Rhinogobius brunneus, 6.1%), 블루길(Lepomis macrochirus, 4.2%) 등의 순으로 우세하였으며, 생체량비 우점종은 붕어(45.1%), 아우점종은 잉어(Cyprinus carpio, 17.4%), 그 다음으로 배스(14.3%), 피라미(7.7%), 떡붕어(C. cuvieri, 7.4%), 참붕어(3.9%) 등의 순으로 우세하였다. 출현종 중 한국고유종은 몰개(Squalidus japonicus coreanus), 점줄종개(Cobitis nalbanti), 얼록동사리(Odontobutis interrupta) 3종이었으며, 외래어종은 배스, 블루길, 떡붕어, 향어(Cyprinus carpio nudus type) 4종으로 이중 배스와 블루길은 생태계교란 생물로 지정된 종이다. 주요종의 평균 체장과 체중을 조사한 결과, 우점종인 참붕어는 체장 60±24.1mm, 체중 4.4±3.42g이었고, 아우점종인 피라미는 체장 82±17.6mm, 체중 10.4±7.27g, 우세종 배스는 체장 96±25.1mm, 체중 24.9±96.02g, 붕어는 체장 125±77.3mm, 체중 168±336.5g이었다. 어구별 조사결과, 족대로 채집된 어류는 3과 8종 302개체 생체량 1,269g, 투망으로 채집된 어류는 4과 11종 948개체 생체량 31,343g, 자망으로 채집된 어류는 4과 13종 682개체 생체량 69,695g, 정치망으로 채집된 어류는 7과 15종 1,569개체, 생체량 15,362g으로 나타났다. 어구별 조사결과를 요약하면, 정치망은 종수와 개체수가, 삼중자망은 생체량이 가장 많았으며, 투망은 연안지대의 종수와 개체수를 채집하는데 강점이 있었으며, 족대는 종수와 개체수, 생체량 모두 가장 적었으나 연안지대의 저서성 소형어류를 채집하는데 강점을 보였다. Fish community characteristics and the influence of sampling gear were investigated in Lake Singal, South Korea, from August 2020 to October 2021. The employed sampling gears included a kick net, cast net, gill net, and fyke net, which are commonly utilized within the lake. Across three survey stations, a total of 18 fish species from seven families, comprising 3,501 individuals and contributing to a total biomass of 117,670 grams, were identified. Dominance among species was assessed based on individual count and biomass. Pseudorasbora parva was the most abundant, constituting 29.9% of the total catch, followed by Zacco platypus (25.1%) and Micropterus salmoides (19.3%). In terms of biomass, Carassius auratus was predominant, accounting for 45.1%, followed by Cyprinus carpio (17.4%) and M. salmoides (14.3%). Among the sampled species, three were identified as endemic to Korea: Squalidus japonicus coreanus, Cobitis nalbanti, and Odontobutis interrupta. Additionally, four exotic species were recorded, including M. salmoides and Lepomis macrochirus, both classified as invasive alien species, along with C. cuvieri and a variant of Cyprinus carpio (nudus type). Analysis of the average standard length (SL) and body weight (BW) revealed significant size variations among species. P. parva, the dominant species, measured 60 ± 24.1 mm (SL) and weighed 4.4 ± 3.42 g (BW). The subdominant species, Z. platypus, exhibited an SL of 82 ± 17.6 mm and a BW of 10.4 ± 7.27 g. M. salmoides, another dominant species, registered 96 ± 25.1 mm (SL) and 24.9 ± 96.02 g (BW), while C. auratus measured 125 ± 77.3 mm (SL) and weighed 168 ± 336.5 g (BW). In terms of gear-specific performance, the kick net captured eight species from three families, totaling 302 individuals with a biomass of 1,269 g. The cast net was more effective in coastal zones, collecting 11 species from four families, amounting to 948 individuals and 31,343 g of biomass. The gill net yielded the highest biomass, capturing 13 species from four families with 682 individuals weighing 69,695 g. The fyke net recorded the highest species diversity and number of individuals, capturing 15 species from seven families, totaling 1,569 individuals and 15,362 g of biomass. The fyke net proved most efficient in species and individual counts, whereas the gill net was superior for biomass collection. Conversely, the kick net demonstrated effectiveness in collecting small benthic species in coastal areas.

Changes in Body Size in a Land-locked Population of Sweet Smelt Plecoglossus altivelis (Pisces: Osmeridae), Related to the Construction of a Fishway in Lake Okjeong, Korea

고명훈,박종영 한국환경생태학회 2013 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.27 No.4

Churyeong Stream flows 37km from the mouth of Lake Okjeong and is impeded by many weirs that hamper the active movement of land-locked sweet smelt fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) that ascend and descend between the lake and the upper stream. In late December 2006, a fishway was constructed in a weir of the lower reach of Churyeong Stream, where juveniles begin their ascent to mature upstream. At 13 sites along the stream from April to October 2007, we investigated the effects of the newly constructed fishway on sweet smelt growth. After construction of the fishway, juvenile sweet smelt were able to migrate freely upstream, something that had previously only been possible when the weir was in flood. The body size of mature sweet smelt collected during the spawning season in September 2007 was greatly increased compared to previous seasons, measuring an average of 163±21.5mm in standard length. These measurements were 13mm, 20mm, and 57mm longer than body length averages for mature sweet smelt collected in 2006, 2004, and 2005, respectively. Therefore, it is likely to be necessary for the construction of fishways on streams and rivers containing land-locked sweet smelt populations to increase average body sizes and viability.

고명훈,최광식,임정철 한국환경생태학회 2022 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.36 No.2

This study surveyed the characteristics of fish communities in Hwapocheon Wetland, Korea, from May to September 2020. The survey collected 735 objects in 21 species belonging to 7 families from 8 survey stations. The dominant and subdominant species were Hemiculter eigenmanni(23.8%) and Micropterus salmoides(10.3%), respectively. The next most abundant species were Zacco platypus(9.5%), Carassius auratus(9.4%), Pseudorasbora parva(9.0%), Squalidus chankaensis tsuchigae(6.7%), Acheilognathus macropterus(5.4%), Lepomis macrochirus(5.2%), Pseudogobio esocinus(4.1%), Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis(3.7%), and Carassius cuvieri(3.3%). Among the fish species collected, one species, Culter brevicauda, was class II endangered wildlife designated by the Ministry of Environment, and one species,S. c. tsuchigae(4.8%), was endemic to Korea.Additionally, three exotic species (M. salmoides, L. macrochirus, and C. cuvieri) and one landlocked species (Rhinogobius brunneus) were collected. Compared to previous studies, the proportion of fish living in the running water area tended to decrease, the proportion of fish living in the water purification area tended to increase, and ecosystem-disturbing species (M. salmoides and L. macrochirus) tended to increase gradually. Results of fish community analysis showed that the mainstream stations (St. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8) had low dominance, but high diversity and richness, and other stations (St. 2 and 7) had high dominance but low diversity and richness. The river health (index of biological integrity) evaluated using fish was assessed as bad (6 stations), normal (1 station), and very bad (1 station). The water quality grade was assessed as slightly bad due to the chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic content (TOC), suspended solid (SS), and total coliforms (TC). The annual water quality showed a gradually increasing trend of biological oxygen demand (BOD), COD, SS, and chlorophyll-a. The stable life of fish and the improvement of river health in Hwapocheon Wetland require water quality improvement and the systematic management of ecosystem-disturbing species (M. salmoidesand L. macrochirus). 화포천 습지의 어류 군집 특성을 밝히기 위해 2020년 5월부터 9월까지 3회 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 8개 지점에서 채집된 어류는 7과 21종 735개체였다. 우점종은 치리(Hemiculter eigenmanni, 23.8%), 아우점종은 배스 (Micropterus salmoides, 10.3%), 그 다음으로 피라미(Zacco platypus, 9.5%), 붕어(Carassius auratus, 9.4%), 참붕어 (Pseudorasbora parva, 9.0%), 참몰개(Squalidus chankaensis tsuchigae, 6.7%), 큰납지리(Acheilognathus macropterus, 5.4%), 블루길(Lepomis macrochirus, 5.2%), 모래무지(Pseudogobio esocinus, 4.1%), 끄리(Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, 3.7%), 떡붕어(Carassius cuvieri, 3.3%) 등의 순으로 우세하였다. 법정보호종은 환경부지정 멸종위기 야생생물 II급의 백조어(Culter brevicauda) 1종이 확인되었고, 한국고유종은 참몰개 1종(4.8%)이 출현하였다. 외래종은 배스, 블루길, 떡붕어 3종이, 육봉형 어류는 밀어 1종이 채집되었다. 선행연구 결과와 비교하면, 유수역에 서식하는 어류의 비율은 감소하고 정수역에 서식하는 어류의 비율은 증가하는 경향을 보였는데, 특히 생태계교란 야생생물로 지정된 배스와 블루길은 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 어류 군집분석 결과, 본류 지점들(St. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8)은 우점도는 낮으나 다양도와 풍부도는 높았고, 지류(St. 2, 7) 등의 지점들은 우점도는 높으나 다양도와 풍부도는 낮았다. 어류를 이용한 하천 건강성은 나쁨(6개 지점), 보통(1개 지점), 매우 나쁨(1개 지점)으로 평가되었다. 수질 등급은 화학적산소요구량(COD)과 총유기물질(TOC), 부유물질(SS), 총대장균군수(TC) 등으로 인해 약간 나쁨으로 평가되었으며, 연도별 수질은 생물학적산소요구량(BOD), 화학적산소요구량, 부유물질, 클로로필-a(Chl-a) 등이 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 화포천 습지의 안정적인 어류 서식 및 하천 건강성을 향상시키기 위해서는 수질개선 및 생태계교란종(배스, 블루길)의 체계적인 관리가 요구된다.

고명훈,홍길수,원종서,박승철 국립공원공단 국립공원연구원 2024 국립공원연구지 Vol.15 No.2

2022년 4월부터 10월까지 치악산국립공원 일대의 어류군집 특성을 분석하고자 계절별로 조사하였다. 조사지점은 GIS 분석을 통하여고정조사구 15개, 어류의 다양성이 높을 것으로 생각되는 임의 조사구 9개 등 24개 지점을 선정하였다. 조사지점의 환경은 대부분 1~4차하천으로 산간계류 또는 중상류역에 해당하였으며, 지점별 물리적 환경요인에 대한 주성분 분석 결과 고도와 유폭, 수심에 따라 하상물질의구성이 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 어류조사 결과 총 11과 26종 3,053개체가 확인되었으며, 우점종은 참갈겨니(30.9%), 아우점종은 버들치(24.1%)였다. 법정보호종으로는 묵납자루, 어름치, 열목어, 둑중개 4종이었으며, 한국고유종은 쉬리, 긴몰개, 돌마자 등 16종이었다. 지점에따른 어종별 개체수를 근거로 cluster 분석을 실시한 결과 크게 두 그룹으로 분류되었으며, 우점종과 아우점종의 개체수와 각 지점의 특성을결정하는 주요 종에 따라 세분화되었다. 국립공원구역 내⋅외의 어류군집 순위풍부도 곡선에 대한 모형을 분석한 결과 공원구역 내에서는‘Preemption’ 모형, 공원구역 밖은 ‘Mandelbrot’ 모형이 각각 채택되었다. 선행연구 결과와 본 조사 결과를 종합하면 치악산국립공원 일대에서 확인된 어류는 32종으로 정리되었으며, 시기별 어종 출현유무에 대하여 주좌표 분석을 실시한 결과 크게 두 그룹으로 나누어졌다. 이와같이 치악산국립공원 일대의 어류군집은 법정보호종 4종, 한국고유종 16종 등 생물다양성과 보호가치가 매우 높으므로 지속적인 모니터링과보전방안 마련이 필요하다. This study was conducted to survey the fish community in the Chiaksan National Park region in Korea over three different seasons (from April to October 2022) and to analyze its characteristics. Using GIS program, 15 fixed stations and nine random sta tions that were considered likely to have high fish species diversity were selected for study. Most environments at the surveyed sta tions were first- to fourth-order streams, corresponding to mountainous or upper-middle streams. Additionally, the composition of the stream substrates varied depending on the altitude, stream width, and water depth, as revealed by principal component analysis of the physical environmental factors at each station. In total, 3,053 individuals from 26 species across 11 families were identified in the survey. The dominant species was Zacco koreanus (30.9%), followed by the subdominant species Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (24.1%). Four legally protected species were identified; namely, Acheilognathus signifer, Hemibarbus mylodon, Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis, and Cottus koreanus. Additionally, 16 species endemic to Korea were identified, including Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Squalidus gracilis majimae, and Microphysogobio yaluensis. Cluster analysis based on the number of individuals per species at each station classified the stations into two large groups, which were further subdivided according to the number of dominant and key species determining the characteristics of each station. Rank abundance curve model analysis of the fish clusters within and outside the national park area resulted in the ‘Preemption’ model being adopted for the park area and the ‘Mandelbrot’ model for the area outside the park. Thus, on the basis of this survey and previous studies, 32 fish species have been identified in Chiaksan National Park. Principal coordinate analysis of the presence or absence of fish species by period divided the fish community into two groups. Therefore, the fish community in the Chiaksan National Park region has very high biodiversity and protection values, including four legally protected species and 16 species endemic to Korea. Hence, continuous monitoring and preservation measures are needed.

무등산국립공원의 어류 분포 특성

고명훈,장수림,원용진 한국환경생태학회 2018 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.32 No.2

무등산국립공원의 어류 분포 양상을 밝히고 보전방안을 마련하기 위해 2014년부터 2016년까지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 총 8개 지점에서 족대와 투망으로 채집된 어류는 6과 21종이였다. 우점종은 갈겨니(Zacco temminckii, 43.0%), 아우점종은 버들치(Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, 15.1%), 그 다음은 피라미(Z. platypus, 11.2%), 돌고기 (Pungtungia herzi, 10.1%), 긴몰개(Squalidus gracilis majimae, 8.9%), 참갈겨니(Z. koreanus, 4.5%) 등의 순으로 우세하였다. 한국고유종은 13종(61.9%)으로 출현비율이 높았으며, 멸종위기종과 외래종은 서식하지 않았다. 군집구조에서 영산강 수계 지점들(St. 1~7)과 섬진강 수계 지점(St. 8)은 뚜렷이 구별되었으며, 영산강 수계는 다시 최상류 지점들(St. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7)과 중・상류 지점들(St. 3, 5)로 나누어졌다. 연도별 출현 종수는 19~20종으로 유사하였으나 개체수는 2014년 3,366개체, 2015년 2,670개체, 2016년 3,429개체로 2015년이 2014년과 2016년보다 20% 이상 적었다. 이러한 원인은 2015년이 다른 년도에 비해 낮은 강수량으로 하천수위가 급격히 낮아져 개체수가 급격히 감소하였기 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 조사기간 동안 8개 지점 중 3개 지점은 하천공사가 이루어져 어류 서식지가 교란되었는데, 특히 저서성 어류가 큰 영향을 받았다. We investigated the ichthyofauna and fish community structure of the Mudeungsan National Park, Korea from 2014 to 2016 to prepare a conservation plan. We collected 21 species of 6 families collected from 8 survey stations through skimming nets and cast nets during the period. The dominant and subdominant species were Zacco temminckii (43.0%) and Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (15.1%), respectively. The other abundant species were Z. platypus (11.2%), Pungtungia herzi (10.1%), Squalidus gracilis majimae (8.9%), and Z. koreanus (4.5%). Among the fish collection, 13 species (61.9%) were Korean endemic species, but, endangered species and exotic species were not found. Similarity indices based on species composition and abundance showed the clear division of the fish community into two river systems (Yongsan River drainage system (St. 1-7) and Seomjin River drainage system (St. 8)). The Youngsan River system was further divided into the uppermost (St. 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7) and the upper-middle (St. 3 and 5) regions. The number of species appearing in a year was similar at 19 to 20 throughout the survey period. However, the individual number of fish in 2015 (2,670) was 20% less than that of 2014 (3,366) and 2016 (3,429), respectively. The probable reason for this decline is the rapid decline of stream level in 2015 compared to the other years. During the survey period, river works were undergoing at 3 out of 8 stations, having created disturbance in fish habitat and especially impacted on benthic fishes.

고명훈,박종영 한국어류학회 2008 한국어류학회지 Vol.20 No.3

A 123.2 mm TL female of Iksookimia longicorpa with a laminar circularis at the base of its pectoral fin was collected in the Hoeya River, Korea, on May 5, 2008. The specimen had full-grown ovaries like those of normal females. Its pectoral fins were larger than those of normal females, but was smaller than those of males. The laminar circularis of the pectoral fin base was more similar to normal males in its shape but was less developed. The ovaries in the individual had about 3,148 mature eggs, with egg sizes approximately 1.26±0.11 mm.

고명훈,이일로,방인철 한국어류학회 2013 한국어류학회지 Vol.25 No.1

멸종위기어류 흰수마자의 난발생 및 초기생활사 연구는 생물학적 특성 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 실시하였다. 성숙난은 암컷에 Ovaprim을 주사(0.5 mL/kg) 하여 얻었으며 건식법으로 인공수정시켰다. 성숙란은 회색의 분리 침성난이었으며, 산란수는 1,015±199개, 난경은 0.74±0.08 mm였다. 수정난은 수온 23 C에서 수정 후 9시간 30분 동안 2.94±0.10mm까지 지속적으로 커졌고, 26시간 후에 부화하였으며, 부화직후 전기자어는 전장 3.4±0.07mm였다. 부화 후 3일에는 전장 4.4±0.1mm로 난황을 모두 흡수하였으며 먹이를 섭식하기 시작하였고, 부화 후 13일째에는 전장 6.8±0.50 mm로 모든 지느러미 기조가 정수가 되어 치어기로 이행하였다. 부화 후 80일에는 전장 27.7±2.32 mm로 체형과 체측반문이 비교적 성어와 유사하였다. Egg development and early life history of the endangered species, Gobiobotia naktongensis were investigated to provide basic information regarding biological characteristics and restoration. Eggs were obtained from the females with Ovaprim (0.5 mL/kg) injecting and then fertilized using the dry method in the laboratory. Number of spawned eggs were 1,015±199. Spawned eggs were strongly adhesive, opaque and grayish and measured 0.74±0.08 mm (mean±SD) in diameter. Fertilized egg size continuously increase until 2.94±0.10 mm for 9 h 30 min at 23 C. Fertilized eggs hatched 26 h after fertilization, and newly hatched larvae an average were 3.4±0.07mm(TL). The yolk sacs of the larvae were of most absorbed of 3 days after hatching and 4.4±0.1 mm (TL). About at 13 days after hatching, they became to juvenile stage and reached 16.8±0.50 mm (TL). At 80 days after hatching, the band patterns and external form of juveniles were similar to those of adults, and they averaged 27.7±2.32mm(TL).

고명훈,명라연,김형수 한국환경생태학회 2019 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.33 No.3

한강지류 흑천의 어류군집 특성 및 멸종위기종 한강납줄개의 서식양상을 밝히기 위하여 2018년 4월부터 10월까 지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 10개 지점에서 족대와 투망, 일각망으로 채집된 어류는 14과 47종이었다. 우점 종은 피라미(Zacco platypus, 37.6%), 아우점종은 참갈겨니(Z. koreanus, 13.8%)였고, 그 다음으로 긴몰개(Squalidus gracilis majimae, 11.1%), 돌고기(Pungtungia herzi, 7.7%), 한강납줄개(Rhodeus pseudosericeus, 5.0%), 돌마자 (Microphysogobio yaluensis, 4.3%), 참마자(Hemibarbus longirostris, 3.0%) 등의 순으로 우세하게 출현하였다. 출 현종 중 한국고유종은 19종(40.4%)이었고, 멸종위기종은 한강납줄개와 묵납자루(Acheilognathus signifer)가, 외래어 종은 배스(Micropterus salmoides)와 무지개송어가(Oncorhynchus mykiss)가 채집되었으며, 육봉형 어종은 은어 (Plecoglossus altivelis)와 밀어(Rhinogobius brunneus)가 채집되었다. 군집분석에서 대부분 우점도와 균등도는 낮고 다양도와 풍부도는 높게 나타났으며, 하천건강성은 매우 양호(매우 양호: 9개 지점, 양호: 1개 지점)로 나타났다. 한 강납줄개는 St. 3~St. 9까지 폭넓게 서식하고 있었으며 개체군 크기가 컸다. 전장빈도분포도로 한강납줄개의 연령을 추정한 결과, 산란기인 4월을 기준으로 암수 구별없이 전장 32~45 m는 만 1년생, 전장 46~59 mm는 만 2년생, 전장 60~69 mm는 만 3년생, 전장 70~89 mm는 만 4년생 이상으로 추정되었다. 성비는 본 조사기간에 암컷은 426개체, 수컷은 394개체가 채집되어 1 : 0.95이었다. 흑천에 도입된 묵납자루는 St. 5~St. 6에 서식하고 있었고, 개체군 크기 는 작았다. 끝으로 흑천에 서식하는 어류의 보전방안에 대해 논의하였다. We investigated the characteristics of fish communities and habitat status of endangered species Rhodeus pseudosericeus in Heuk Stream, a tributary of the Han River, from April to October 2018. During this period, we collected 47 species of 14 families from 10 survey stations using kick nets, cast nets, and long bag set nets. The dominant and subdominant species were Zacco platypus (37.6%) and Z. koreanus (13.8%), respectively. The next most abundant species were Squalidus gracilis majimae (11.1%), Pungtungia herzi (7.7%), Rhodeus pseudosericeus (5.0%), Microphysogobio yaluensis (4.3%), and Hemibarbus longirostris (3.0%). Among the fish collected, 19 species (40.4%) were Korean endemic species. Endangered species were R. pseudosericeus and Acheilognathus signifer while exotic species were Micropterus salmoides and Oncorhynchus mykiss, and land-locked species were Plecoglossus altivelis and Rhinogobius brunneus. The community analysis showed that the dominance and evenness indexes were mostly low and that the diversity and richness indexes were high. Moreover, the river health (index of biological integrity) was mostly excllent (1 site is good, 9 sites are very good). R. pseudosericeus inhabited widely from St. 3 to St. 9 in Heuk Stream, and its population size was large. Age groups for R. pseudosericeus estimated by the frequency distribution of total length in spawning season (April) indicated the 32~45 mm group as 1-year old, the 46~59 mm group as 2-years old, 60~69 mm group as 3-years old, and the 70~89 mm group as 4-years or older. Total length range of male and female was similar, and the sex ratio of female (426) to male (394) was 1 : 0.95. A. signifer, which had been released in Heuk Stream, inhabited from St. 4 to St. 5, but its population size was small. Lastly, this paper discusses a conservation plan for fish in Heuk Stream.
