Abstract

In this study, an ascending capability experiment was performed with largemouth bass and bluegill, which are exotic fish species inhabiting (the freshwaters) in Korea. The experiment was performed by dividing the subject fish into four groups according to their size and at four flow rates for each group. The number of fish passing through a reference line was analyzed by recording videos, and their swimming and ascending capabilities were observed by the naked eye. The number of fish passing through the reference line did not include those returning downstream within five minutes due to the high flow rate. The flow rate used for the analysis was the mean of the flow rate values measured at the left bank, the right bank, and in the middle of the stream. The results showed that the number of exotic fish migrating upstream decreased as the flow rate increased, regardless of the species and size of the fish. The comparison between the fish species showed that the ascending capability of bass was higher than that of bluegill, but the difference was not significant when considering the difference in the size of the fish. In addition, the upper limit flow velocity allowing the ascending of the exotic fish species was 1.11 m/s, when considering the fish returning to the downstream after the upstream migration and experimental error. The results of the experiment may be used as fundamental data for the blocking of fish and the management of exotic fish species by means of a high flow rate current. Further experiments, verification, and monitoring may need to be conducted continuously to determine whether the fish are able to pass through the reference line at a high flow rate, when they attain a high or cruising velocity. Additionally, the reaction of the fish species should be investigated by considering the response to external forces as well as pressure differences due to the flow rate.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 서식하는 외래어종인 배스와 블루길을 대상으로 소상능력 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 대상 어류의 크기에 따라 4개 그룹으로 구분한 후 각 그룹별 4단계 유속에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 분석방법은 유속에 따라 기준선을 통과하는 개체 수를 영상촬영을 이용해 분석하였으며 어류의 유영 및 소상 가능정도를 육안으로 관찰하였다. 또한 고유속 급류로 인해 5분 내 하류로 내려오면 기준선 통과 개체 수에서 제외하였으며 유속은 좌안, 우안, 중앙에서 측정하여 평균값을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 어종 및 개체 크기에 상관없이 유속이 빠를수록 소상하는 외래어종은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 어종별 비교 결과 배스의 소상능력이 블루길보다 높게 나타났으나 개체 크기를 고려하면 차이는 크지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 소상 후 급류로 인해 하류로 밀려 내려오는 경우를 제외하고 실험오차를 고려하면 외래어종이 소상 가능한 한계속도는 1.11 m/s 이상인 것으로 판단된다. 실험 결과는 고유속 흐름을 이용한 어류 차단과 외래어종의 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하며 향후 고유속에서 기준선을 통과하는 어류가 돌발속도에 의한 것인지 순항속도에 의한 것인지 판단하기 위해서는 지속적인 실험과 검증 및 모니터링이 필요하다. 또한 외력에 의한 반응 및 유량에 의한 압력 차이 등을 고려한 어류의 반응검토도 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
