Abstract

The present study is to understand the Bongseonsa stream in the National Arboretum fish fauna variation through comparison with historical data and to evaluate the stream health situated. We performed investigations over three times from April to September 2015. In the survey, 2,960 individuals which belonging to 22 species, 8 families were collected. Dominant species by number was Zacco platypus and subdominant species was Zacco koreanus. Seven Korean endemic species (Squalidus gracilis majimae, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Zacco koreanus, Koreocobitis rotundicausata, etc) were observed and showed a ratio of 36.4%. The community analysis revealed that the structure of fish community in the study sampling sites was instability in having dominance 0.79 (${\pm}0.15$), diverse 1.21 (${\pm}0.60$), evenness 0.58 (${\pm}0.15$) and species richness 1.49 (${\pm}0.83$). The values in the Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) was averagely 122.9 (${\pm}44.8$) in the Bongseonsa stream and this was showed to have favorable habitat surroundings. As a result of tolerance guild analysis, the total number of sensitive species and intermediate species were higher than tolerant species. Analysis was divided into A and B two groups of fiducial 12.25% in Cluster analysis degree of similarity between study sampling sites. Fish Assessment Index (FAI) was rated A and B grade in Bongseonsa stream that stream health showed favorable. However Wangsuk stream as a urban stream rated C grade and analysed the lowest grade in the whole study sampling sites. There was high correlation beteween FAI and various indexes, dominance, diverse, evenness and sensitive species and intermediate species.

본 연구는 과거자료와의 비교를 통해 광릉숲 내에 위치한 봉선사천의 과거와 현재의 어류상 변화를 파악하고, 하천 건강성을 평가하고자 하였다. 현지조사는 2015년 4월부터 9월까지 총 3회 조사를 실시하였다. 어류상 조사결과 총 8과 22종 2,960개체가 출현하였다. 피라미(Zacco platypus)가 우점하고, 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus)가 아우점하는 것으로 나타났다. 한국고유종은 총 7종으로 고유종 빈도는 36.4%로 분석되었다. 과거 문헌자료와의 어류상 비교 결과 2007년 이후 종 수의 변화는 없었으며, 2008년 복원사업의 일환으로 봉선사천에 방류한 참갈겨니는 2008년 이후 상대풍부도가 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 조사 지역의 군집분석 결과 평균 우점도지수는 0.79 (${\pm}0.15$), 다양도지수는 1.21 (${\pm}0.60$), 균등도지수는 0.58 (${\pm}0.15$), 풍부도지수는 1.49 (${\pm}0.83$)로 분석되어 우점도지수는 높고, 다양도지수, 균등도지수, 풍부도지수는 낮은 비교적 불안정한 군집구조를 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정량적 서식처 평가 지수(QHEI) 분석 결과 QHEI는 평균 122.9 (${\pm}44.8$)로 양호한 서식처 환경을 가지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 내성도 길드 분석 결과 전반적으로 오염에 내성이 강한 내성종보다는 오염에 민감하게 반응하는 민감종과 중간종의 개체수 비율이 높게 나타났다. 조사 지점 간 유사도 분석결과 12.25%를 기준으로 A, B 2개의 Group으로 구분되었다. Group-A는 봉선사천 본류인 St. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7과 왕숙천 St. 8이 포함되었으며, Group-B는 봉선사천 최상류인 St. 1과 봉선사천으로 유입되는 지류인 St. 4가 포함되어 구분되었다. 어류평가지수(FAI)를 분석한 결과 봉선사천은 대부분 A~B등급으로 하천건강성이 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 도심하천인 왕숙천은 C등급로 조사 지점 중 가장 낮은 등급으로 분석되었다. FAI와 다양한 항목 간의 상관성 분석 결과 우점도, 다양도, 균등도, 민감종, 중간종에서 통계적으로 높은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다.
