Abstract

This study focused on relationships between Pb and Cd concentrations and the difference of success reproductive progress in urban (Seoul) and industrial complex (Ansan) areas. Results of the Pb analysis for the feral pigeons from Seoul (egg contents:1.64 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$, adults in bones: 29.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$ and the Ansan industrial complex (egg contents: 1.13 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$, adults in bones: 10.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet g-1) showed that the Pb level of eggs and adults is significantly different between the two colonies (p<0.05). Cd concentrations in liver and kidneys of adult pigeons were also significantly different between Seoul(liver: 0.24 ${\mu}g$ wet $g^{-1}$, kidney: 1.05 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$ and the Ansan (liver: 0.14 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$, kidney: 0.43 $\mu\textrm{g}$ wet $g^{-1}$ colonies (P<0.05). Clutch size of Feral Pigeons living in Seoul was similar between the two colonies, 1.9$\pm$0.3 in Seoul and 2.0$\pm$0.0 in Ansan. The length, breadth, and thickness of eggs were not significantly different between the two colonies (p>0.05). Incubation period in Seoul (17.8 days) did not differ from the Ansan (17.4 days). No difference in growth rate (body weight, wing length, and tarsus length) was found between the two test groups (p>0.05). In Seoul, 65.2% were hatching, and 42.1% fledging. The Proportion of hatching and fledging in the Ansan was 60.7% and 45.0%, respectively. The significant differences between the two colonies for reproductive sucess were not found (p>0.05). With regard to the reproductive effects to the heavy metals, the Pb and Cd concentrations feund in the two colonies were not as high as those considered in results of toxic effects in other species.

본 연구는 도심지역인 서울시청 부근과 공단 지역인 안산 반월 공단지역 내에 서식하는 비둘기를 대상으로 중금속 농도의 차이가 번식 경과에 미치는 영향을 파악 하고자 수행하였다. 조사 결과, 서울지역의 비둘기의 알 내용물 및 성조의 뼈 조직 중 납 농도가 각각 평균 1.64 ug wet $g^{-1}$, 29.5 ug wet $g^{-1}$으로 안산 공단지역의 1.13 ug wet $g^{-1}$, 10.5 ug wet $g^{-1}$ 보다 높게 검출되었고(p< 0.05), 카드뮴 농도는 서울지역의 성조의 간과 신장 조직에서 각각 평균 1.05 ug wet $g^{-1}$ 0.24 ug wet $g^{-1}$으로 안산 공단지역의 0.43 ug wet $g^{-1}$, 0.14 ug wet$g^{-1}$에 비하여 높은 농도가 검출되었다(p<0.05). 한배산란수의 경우, 서울지역의 경우 1.9개, 안산 공단지역은 2.0개로 비슷한 수준이었으며, 알의 크기(장경, 단경, 두께)도 두 지역간에 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 조사되었다(p>0.05). 또한 포란 기간은 서울, 안산 지역에서 각각 평균 17.8일, 17.4일로 비슷한 수준으로 나타났고, 새끼의 성장률은 부척, 날개, 체중 등을 측정하였으며 두 지역간에 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 번식 성공률의 경우, 서울 지역은 부화율, 이소율이 각각 65.2, 42.1%, 안산 공단지역은 60.7, 45.0%로 두 지역간의 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 조사되었다(p> 0.05). 이러한 두 지역간 중금속 농도의 차이는 번식 경과 및 새끼의 성장률에 영향을 미칠 정도의 유의한 차이는 아니라고 판단된다.conicoides(: Brigantedinium simplex), Gonyaulax spp.(: Spiniferites spp.). 본 연구에서 퇴적물 시료의 타가영양 와편모조류 시스트 농도가 가장 높은 정점과 표층 해수 시료의 규조류 현존량이 가장 높은 정점이 일치하였다. 이는 부영양화로 인해 영양염류가 증가한 해역에서 규조류가 많이 증식하고, 뒤이어 이를 먹이로 하는 타가영양 와편모조류도 증식함에 따라, 많은 양의 타가영양 와편모조류 시스트가 퇴적물에 집적되는 현상이 장기간에 걸쳐 진행된 결과로 생각된다 앞으로 해역의 부영양화와 퇴적물의 타가영양 와편모조류 시스트와의 관계를 보다 명확하게 규명하기 위해서는,표층수의 식물플랑크톤과 퇴적물의 와편모조류 시스트에 대한 장기간 모니터링에 따른 연속적 인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.형 동물플랑크톤 각 군집의 생물량은 유종 섬모충류를 제외하고는 조석에 의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 표층부터 저층까지 합산한 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤의 탄소량은 124~l,635 mgC $m^{-}$$^2$/(평균: 585$\pm$110 mgC $m^{-2}$ )로 분포하였으며, 3월과 5월에 가장 높게 나타났다. 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤 중에서 부유 섬모충류가 가장 우점하는 그룹으로 나타났으며, 전체 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤의 평균 42.3%를 기여 하였다. 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤에 대한 각각의 그룹들의 상대적인 기여도는 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤의 군집구조와 계절에 따라 다르게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 경기만 표영 생태계서 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤의 군집구조는 식물플랑크톤의 크기별 분포 양상과 유사한 경향을 보였으며, 이 결과는 미소형 및 소형 동물플랑크톤과 식물플랑크톤 간에 피식-포식자의 관계가
