Abstract

This study surveyed the diversity and distributional characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates and freshwater fish during the period from April to October, 2015 in Seonun Mountain Provincial Park. As a result, a total of 78 species of benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 50 families, 16 orders, and four phyla were observed in Seonun stream; additionally, 25 species of freshwater fish belonging to six families were identified in all the investigated sites. Among benthic macroinvertebrates, Ephemeroptera(13 spp.: 22.81%) was the largest group in terms of species richness. In the FFGs, gathering-collectors(30 spp.: 36.14%) were relatively larger as represented by Ephemeroptera that usually inhabit fast flowing streams. In the HOGs, clingers(23 spp.: 29.49%) and burrowers(17 spp.: 21.79%) were the dominant groups. For both EPT ratio and ESB index, site 8 appeared to be the highest with 44.44% and 72 marks respectively, while the sites 4 and 9 showed relatively lower rates and indices. According to the results of evaluation, site 8 needs to be designated as the highest protection area while the sites 4 and 9 may be designated as target areas for preferential improvement. According to the analysis of fish community, the dominant species was Zacco teminchkii(333 inds.: 36.80%), and the dominant index was the lowest(0.24) and diversity index was the highest(1.81) at site 8, which therefore represents a stable freshwater fish community. In this survey, six Korean endemic species were identified: Ephemera separigata, Neoperla coreensis, Rhodeus uyekii, Squalidus gracilis majimae, Microphysogobio yaluensis, and Iksookimia koreensis. Also, three species belonging to the management of exportable group(Davidius lunatus, E. separigara, N. coreenis) were observed. Two habitat specific species: Thraulus grandis and Anguilla marmorata, were found for the first time in Gochang area and marked on the Korean distribution map through discussion.

본 연구는 2015년 4월부터 10월까지 전라북도 고창군 선운산도립공원 안의 선운천을 중점으로 저서성 대형무척추동물 및 어류의 다양성과 분포특성을 조사하였다. 조사결과 선운천에서 출현한 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 4문 16목 50과 78종이 출현하였으며, 어류는 총 6과 25종이 확인되었다. 저서성 대형무척추동물 중에서는 유수지역에서 풍부하게 서식하는 하루살이목(Ephemeroptera)이 13종(22.81%)으로 가장 높은 다양성을 나타냈으며, 기능군에서는 걸러먹는무리(Gathering-collectors)가 30종(36.14%), 붙는무리(Clingers)가 23종(29.49%), 굴파는무리(Burrowers)가 17종(21.79%) 순으로 높게 나타났다. EPT (Ephemeroptera-Plecoptera-Trichoptera) 비율과 ESB (Ecological score for the benthic macroinvertebrate community) 분석에서는 S8지점에서 각각 44.44%, 72점으로 가장 높게 측정되어 최우선 보호수역으로 평가되었으며, S4지점과 S9지점은 EPT 비율과 ESB 값이 낮게 측정되어 우선개선수역으로 분석되었다. 저서성 대형무척추동물보다 상위 포식자인 어류 군집특성으로는 계곡하천에 풍부하게 서식하는 갈겨니(Zacco teminchkii)가 333개체(36.80%)로 우점 하였으며, S8지점에서 우점도 지수는 낮게(0.24), 종다양도 지수는 높게(1.81) 분석되어 저서성 대형무척추동물의 군집과 같은 양상의 안정된 어류 군집을 유지하고 있었다. 본 조사에서 출현한 한반도 고유종은 수서곤충에서 2종인 가는무늬하루살이, 두눈강도래, 어류에서 4종인 각시붕어, 긴몰개, 돌마자, 참종개로 총 6종이 출현하였으며, 국외반출승인대상종은 쇠측범잠자리, 가는무늬하루살이, 두눈강도래로 수서곤충에서 3종이 조사되었다. 환경부 분포특이종으로 지정된 여러갈래하루살이의 대량서식처가 국내에서 처음으로 발견되어 국내전국 분포지도를 작성하였으며, 현재 우리나라 최북단 서식지가 제주도로 알려진 무태장어가 주진천 수계(S9)에서 처음으로 채집되어 무태장어의 서식처 및 분포양상을 고찰하였다.
