Abstract

Macromia daimoji nymphs (Endangered Species II) are known to inhabit the Naeseong Stream in Korea. In March 2019, we performed a correlation analysis between sediment particle size and the M. daimoji population using data collected from a 0.2-㎡ area at 37 sites in Naeseong riverbed. Particle size analysis showed different ratios of sediments in the riverbed: Coarse Sand (500-1,000 ㎛) 52.5%; Very Coarse Sand (1,000-2,000 ㎛) 25.6%; Medium Sand (250-500 ㎛) 17.2%; Fine Sand (125-250 ㎛) 3.1%; Very Fine Sand (63-125 ㎛) 1.0%; and Silt (less than 63 ㎛) 0.7%. The number of M. daimoji nymphs showed a positive correlation with Very Fine Sand and Fine Sand and a negative correlation with Coarse Sand, indicating that M. daimoji nymphs inhabit fine sand. These results can be used to monitor changes in the riverbed environment of Naeseong Stream to ensure the conservation of M. daimoji habitat.

노란잔산잠자리(멸종위기야생생물 II급) 약충은 내성천 일대 서식하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 2019년 3월 서식이 확인된 37개 지점의 하상 0.2㎡ 면적에서 채취한 퇴적물 입도 분석 및 개체수와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 입도 분석 결과 '조립사'(500 ~ 1,000 ㎛) 52.5%, '극조립사'(1,000 ~ 2,000 ㎛) 25.6%, '중립사' (250 ~ 500 ㎛) 17.2%, '세립사'(125 ~ 250 ㎛) 3.1%, '극세립사'(63 ~ 125 ㎛) 1.0%, '실트'(63 ㎛미만) 0.7% 순으로 나타났다. 노란잔산잠자리 약충의 개체수는 '극세립사'(63 ~ 125 ㎛), '세립사'(125 ~ 250 ㎛)와는 양의 상관관계를, '조립사'(500 ~ 1.000 ㎛)와는 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 노란잔산잠자리 약충이 고운 모래를 서식처로 활용하고 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 연구결과는 이후 내성천 일대 하상 환경변화 모니터링에 활용 할 수 있을 것이다.
