Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the differences in sedimentary environments and benthic polychaete communities between farming grounds and natural habitats (non-farming ground) in Gamak Bay. Sampling stations of natural habitats were evenly distributed in the entire bay. And mussel farm, oyster farm and ark-shell farm were selected as farming grounds. Dominant sedimentary facies was mud in most sampling stations of farming grounds and natural habitats. However organic contents were higher in the farming grounds than natural habitats of the bay. The species number and mean density of polychaetous community in the natural habitats were greater than those from the farming grounds. Lumbrineris longifolia, known as potential organic enrichment indicator species, was first dominant species both in farming grounds and natural habitats of the bay. However, the next dominant species consisted of different species between two benthic habitats. As a result of community analysis using cluster analysis and nMDS, the natural habitats were divided into several station groups, but most of stations in farming grounds were clustered into one group. Pearson' correlation analysis and PCA showed high relationships between sedimentary environmental factors and benthic polychaetous community in natural habitats, but low or no relationships in farming grounds. That means benthic polychaetous community established in farming ground was under unusual condition such as high input of organic matter. Thus it is necessary to improve the benthic environmental quality of the farming grounds as well as the north-western inner part in Gamak Bay through long-term monitoring efforts.

본 연구는 가막만에 위치하는 양식장과 자연 서식지(비양식장해역)에서의 저서환경과 저서다모류군집의 차이를 비교하기 위하여 실시하였다. 자연 서식지에서의 조사 정점은 가막만 전 해역에 고르게 분포시켰으며, 양식장 해역은 가막만의 대표적인 양식장인 담치양식장, 굴양식장, 피조개양식장을 대상으로 선정하였다. 자연 서식지 해역과 양식장해역의 퇴적상은 대부분 니질 퇴적상을 보였으며, 평균 유기물함량은 자연 서식지에 비해 양식장해역에서 높게 나타났다. 그리고 양식장해역보다 자연 서식지 해역에서 저서다모류군집의 출현종수와 평균서식밀도가 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 최우점종은 양식장과 자연 서식지 모두 잠재적 유기물오염지표종인 Lumbrineris longifolia로 나타났으나, 나머지 주요 우점종은 지역간에 약간의 차이를 보였다. 집괴분석 및 nMDS를 이용한 군집구조 분석 결과 지연 서식지 해역은 지역적으로 그룹이 나뉘었으나, 양식장해역의 경우 북서 내만역의 무생물정점을 제외하고 대부분의 정점이 한 그룹으로 묶였다. 또한 상관분석 및 PCA 분석 결과, 자연서식지의 경우 퇴적환경과 저서다모류군집간에 비교적 높은 상관관계를 보였으나, 양식장의 경우에는 낮은 상관관계를 보였다. 즉 가막만 양식장해역에 형성되어 있는 저서다모류군집은 다량의 유기물 유입과 같은 비정상적인 조건 하에 놓여 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 가막만은 생물상이 극히 빈약한 북서내만역과 함께 양식장해역 역시 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 환경 개선 노력이 필요하다고 생각된다.
