Abstract

Morphological and population characteristics of the Cottus koreanus were investigated at Hoam stream from October 2015 and April 2016. This is the first record on C. koreanus not only from Hoam stream (the upstream region of Daejong stream, Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongju-si Yangbuk-myeon Hoam-ri) but also from the stream flowing into the Samcheogosip stream, in the southern part of East Sea, Korea. The distribution of C. koreanus ranged from Girim temple to Yongyeon waterfall, about 1.2 km, and the water surface were about $3,600m^2$. The population size was assumed to 1,656 individual number, 46 object per $100m^2$. The morphometric characteristics of C. koreanus in the Hoam stream and the Han river are very similar except that the population at Hoam stream shorter head length, ventral fin ray length, pectoral fin ray length and mouth width when compared with the population at Han river. Other than that, the two populations showed the same meristic characters. Frequency analysis of total length indicated that the group with 40~59 mm in total length was one year old, the 60~79 mm was two years old, and the group over 80 mm was three years old. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was estimated as 361 (239~468) per matured female. The number of matured eggs size in ovaries was $2.6{\pm}0.21$ (23.~3.1) mm and this species was large eggs type. Calculation of the length-weight relation of C. koreanus showed the value of constant a as 0.00001 and b as 3.01, and the Condition factor (K) was 1.26 an on average.

호암천에 분포하는 둑중개의 형태적 및 개체군의 특징 조사를 2015년 10월과 2016년 4월에 실시를 하였다. 호암천 상류역(경상북도 경주시 양북면 호암리, 대종천 상류)이 둑중개(Cottus koreanus)의 새로운 서식지로 확인되었으며 또한 삼척오십천 이남의 동해로 유입되는 하천에서 처음 발견되었다. 둑중개가 분포하는 범위는 기림사에서 용연폭포에 이르는 약 1.2 km 구간이었으며 수역은 약 $3,600m^2$ 이었다. 개체군 크기는 총 1,656개체, $100m^2$ 당 46개체가 서식하고 있는 것으로 추정되었으며 분포역이 매우 제한적이며 좁았다. 호암천에 서식하는 개체군은 한강 개체군에 비해 머리길이(head length), 배지느러미 길이(VFR-L), 가슴지느러미 길이(PFR-L), 입의 폭(MW) 등이 짧았으며 그 외의 형질은 일치하였다. 전장이 만 1년생은 40~59 mm, 만 2년생은 60~79 mm, 만 3년생은 80 mm 이상으로 추정되었다. 포란수는 239~468개이었으며 평균 361개 이었다. 성숙란의 직경은 $2.6mm{\pm}0.21$(2.3~3.1)로 대란형에 속하였다. 전장과 체중의 관계식은 BW = 0.00001TL3.01로 상수 a는 0.00001을, 매개변수 b는 3.01 이었고, 평균 1.26 이었다.
