Abstract

Feeding of the maiden goby, Pterogobius virgo and multicolorfin rainbowfish, Halichoeres poecilopterus, was studied at Kurahashi Island in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. P. virgo foraged on only benthic invertebrates in a pit on the bottom by spot-fixed fin digging. Territory size of P. virgo was very small, because they only defended the excavated pit. H. poecilopterus frequently intruded into the feeding territory of P. virgo and fed on benthic invertebrates flushed out by the fin digging of P. virgo. Feeding activity and vigilance time of P. virgo tended to decrease significantly more in such an association than when solitary. Frequency of aggression of P. virgo when H.poecilopterus intruded into the territory was higher the intruder came from the front of the territory than when the invasion was from the side and back, regardless of the size of the intruder. In small H.poecilopterus, feeding success rate was greater from the side and back of the territory than from the front. However, similar-sized H.poecilopterus were more successful in feeding from the front and side. Feeding association provides an antipredatory benefit to P. virgo because of less alert time against predators and earlier detection of predators, although their cost is great because of territory defense and decrease of feeding activity.

2002년 5월부터 8월까지 일본 Seto Inland Sea의 Kurahashi Island에서 금줄망둑 Pterogobius virgo과 용치놀래기 Halichoeres poecilopterus의 섭식에 관하여 연구를 실시하였다. 금줄망둑은 독특한 섭식 행동인 fin digging을 통해 한 장소에 머물며 모래와 펄 속에 숨어있는 소형 저서성 무척추동물만을 섭식한다. 금줄망둑의 섭식세력권은 오직 섭식중인 장소의 파 헤쳐진 반구와 주변의 공간뿐으로 매우 협소하다. 용치놀래기는 종종 금줄망둑의 세력권에 침입하여 금줄망둑과 함께 섭식을 수행한다. 금줄망둑의 섭식활동과 경계시간은 단독으로 섭식할 때에 비해 공동 섭식을 하였을 때 급격히 감소한다. 용치놀래기가 금줄망둑의 세력권에 침입하였을 때 금줄망둑의 공격은 용치놀래기의 크기에 관계없이 세력권의 측면과 후면보다 전면에서 더 높은 빈도를 나타낸 다. 세력권 개체보다 작은 크기의 용치놀래기는 세력권의 전면보다 세력권의 측면과 후면에서 섭식하였을 때 높은 섭식성공률을 나타내었다. 그러나 유사한 크기의 용치놀래기의 섭식성공률은 세력권의 전면과 측면보다 후면에서 높게 나타났다. 공동 섭식이 수행될 때 금줄망 둑은 세력권 방어와 섭식활동의 감소 등에 의한 비용이 크지만, 경계시간의 감소와 포식자의 접근 감지 등을 통한 포식압의 감소 효과를 획득한다.
