Abstract

Abstract The purpose of study is to identify the relationship between stable isotope composition of reed stems in coastal and understand the structure of the fish community in 10 lagoons along the East Sea. The fish species composition (particularly, anadromous fish species) and relative abundance of trophic guilds was influenced by difference of geomorphic characteristics among lagoons. Reed stems ${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values ranged from $-28.40{\pm}0.11$‰ to $-26.87{\pm}0.25$‰ and $-1.09{\pm}1.45$‰ to $12.08{\pm}0.53$‰, respectively. The differences in reed stem ${\delta}^{15}N$ values might be associated with anthropogenic landuse and the geomorphic characteristics among lagoons. These results provide useful information to improve the conservation of fish habitats (biodiversity), preserve lagoon habitats and contribute to watershed management effect against anthropogenic pollution from watershed in these lagoon ecosystems.

본 연구에서는 동해안에서 10개의 석호들을 대상으로 어류군집의 조성의 차이를 파악하였고, 갈대 줄기의 탄소와 질소안정동위원소분석을 통하여 각 석호생태계의 유역환경을 예측하였다. 석호들 사이에서 어류의 조성(특히, 회유성 어류) 및 섭식기능군은 지형학적인 특성에 따라 분포의 차이를 보였다. 10곳의 석호들에서 갈대 줄기 ${\delta}^{13}C$과 ${\delta}^{15}N$값 각각 $-28.40{\pm}0.11$‰에서 $-26.87{\pm}0.25$‰과 $-1.09{\pm}1.45$‰에서 $12.08{\pm}0.53$‰의 범위를 보였다. 이들 석호에서의 갈대의 줄기 ${\delta}^{15}N$ 값의 차이는 토지 이용에 따른 인위적인 오염원의 차이와 석호의 지형학적인 특성 등과 관련이 있음을 보였다. 이 연구는 어류의 서식지 확보, 석호생태계에서의 생물다양성의 보전과 유역의 오염원에 대한 관리를 위한 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있다.
