Abstract

We used stable isotope analysis to investigate the hypothesis that zooplankton were not able to utilize Microcystis as a food source. We also studied seasonal variation of the zooplankton community in a eutrophic Wangsong reservoir. The dominant copepod species changed from Cyclops vicinus to Thermocyclops taihokuensis. Density of zooplankton was suppressed by high density of Microcystis in June and the density of phytoplankton and chlorophyll a concentration was lowest in July. The difference in $\delta^{13}C$ and $\delta^{15}N$ between cladocerans (Daphnia galeata and Bosmina longirostris) and copepods showed the maximum difference of $12^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$, respectively, indicating different energy sources and trophic positions between two taxonomic groups. The difference in $\delta^{13}C$ between Microcystis and zooplankton ranged from $3{\sim}7^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$, supporting the hypothesis that Microcystis could not be used as food source of zooplankton.

본 연구에서는 부영양한 저수지에서 동물플랑크톤 군집의 계절변동을 파악하고 안정동위원소분석을 통해 동물플랑크톤이 Microcystis 섭식을 회피한다는 기존의 가설을 확인하고자 하였다. 요각류는 Cyclops vicinus (C. vicinus)에서 Thermocyclops taihokuensis (T. taihokuensis)로 우점종의 천이를 보였다. 계절변동에 따른 동물플랑크톤군집 밀도는 Microcystis의 밀도가 가장 높았던 6월에 가장 낮았고, 식물플랑크톤의 밀도 및 Chl. $\alpha$ 농도는 7월에 낮게 나타났다. 지각류와 요각류 사이에 $\delta^{13}C$와 $\delta^{15}N$는 각각 최대 $12^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$과 $4^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$의 차이를 보였으며, 이는 왕송저수지에서 지각류(D. galeata와 B. longirostris)와 요각류(C. vicinus)는 서로 다른 영양단계에 위치하고 다른 에너지원을 이용함을 시사하였다. Microcystis와 동물플랑크톤(지각류와 요각류)의 $\delta^{13}C$ 사이에 보이는 $3{\sim}7^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$의 차이는 동물플랑크톤이 Microcystis를 직접 이용하기 어렵다는 기존의 가설을 지지하였다.
