Abstract

The fauna of freshwater fish and water chemistry characteristics were investigated from June, 2014 to October, 2014 at 10 sites in Taebaeksan Provincial Park. A total of 7 species under three families were collected from the survey sites and among them one endangered species - Koreocobitis naktongensis - was identified. The endemic species of Korea were 2 species: Koreocobitis naktongensis, Iksookimia koreensis. Dominant species was Rhynchocypris oxycephalus(89%) and subdominant species was Orthrias nudus(8.9%). Water quality including conductivity, turbidity, pH and total dissolved solids(TDS) varied largely depending on the sampling locations. Values of ambient conductivity and TDS were greater in the upstream than in the downstream, and seasonal variabilities were also higher in the upstream. The pH decreased towards the downstream, and especially showed a sharp decrease in S5. This phenomenon was evident due to a dilution by the influx in the acid mine drainage(AMD) of S4. Physical habit conditions, based on qualitative habitat evaluation index(QHEI) model, indicated a "Sub-optimal" condition(mean: 157.3; range: 78 ~ 194) in the Sodo stream watersheds.

본 연구는 2014년 6월부터 10월까지 강원도 태백산도립공원 10개 조사지점의 이화학적 수질특성과 담수어류상을 조사하였다. 채집된 어류는 3과 7종이 확인되었고, 멸종위기종에 속하는 얼룩새코미꾸리(Koreocobitis naktongensis) 1종이 출현하였다. 한국고유종은 얼룩새코미꾸리(Koreocobitis naktongensis), 참종개(Iksookimia koreensis) 2종이 출현하였다. 우점종은 버들치(Rhynchocypris oxycephalus)로 전체 개체수의 89%를 차지하였으며, 아우점종은 대륙종개(Orthrias nudus)가 8.9%로 나타났다. 이 화학적 수질변수 중 전기전도도, 탁도, pH, 총용존물질(TDS)은 조사 지점별로 농도의 큰 변이를 보였다. 이 중 전기전도도와 총용존물질은 하류하천보다 상류하천에서 더 높은 농도값을 보였으며, 계절적 변이도 상류하천에 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. pH는 하류로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 S5에서 급격한 감소를 보였다. 이는 S4의 산성광산배수 유입으로 인한 희석효과가 나타나는 것으로 보인다. 정성적 서식지평가지수(QHEI)에 의거한 소도천 유역의 물리적 서식지 상태는 "양호"한 서식환경(평균 : 157.3, 범위 : 78 ~ 194)을 보이는 것으로 평가되었다.
