Abstract

This study collected specimens dark sleeper (Odontobutis platycephala) in the Jaho stream from March to November 2022 to investigated their feeding habits. The sizes were classified by age (1 year and 2 years old, and 3 years old or older). The food organisms of O. platycephala included Haplotaxida belonging to the Clitellata of Annelida, Isopoda, Amphipoda, and Decapoda of the Malacostraca, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Trichoptera belonging to the aquatic insect of Arthropoda, fish. Korean dark sleepers fed mostly on aquatic insects, crustaceans, and fish. Aquatic insects were the most important food source, with 82.32% of the population, 46.33% in biomass, and 80.84% in the index of relative importance. Among the fish fed, Coreoperca herzi and Zacco koreanus young fish were abundant, and Odontobutis platycephala young fish were also eaten due to cannibalism. Korean dark sleepers were carnivorous in diet and belonged to the stalker in food intake characteristics and forms. A food migration was observed since less Diptera was found, and more fish were found in the biomass of the feed consumed by larger pecies. Fish (40.79%), Ephemeroptera (29.17%), and Isopoda (13.63%) were mainly fed in the spring, fish (52.65%), Ephemeroptera (23.17%), and Amphipoda (6.12%) were abundant in the summer, and Ephemeroptera (36.83%), fish (23.99%), and Trichoptera (23.49%) were mainly fed in the autumn.

동사리의 식성 분석을 위해 자호천에서 2022년 3월부터 2022년 11월까지 채집을 하였고 크기는 연령별로(1년생, 2년생, 3년생 이상)로 구분하였다. 먹이생물은 환형동물(Annelida) 환대강(Clitellata)의 가시지렁이목(Haplotaxida), 절지동물(Arthropoda, 개체수 96.53%) 갑각강(Malacostraca, 연갑강)의 등각목(Isopoda), 단각목(Amphipoda), 십각목(Decapoda), 수서곤충(Aquatic insect)에 속하는 하루살이목(Ephemeroptera), 강도래목(Plecoptera), 딱정벌레목(Coleoptera), 파리목(Diptera), 날도래목(Trichoptera), 척추동물에 속하는 어류 등 이었다. 수서곤충, 갑각류, 어류 등을 주로 섭식하였으며 수서곤충이 개체수에 있어 82.32%, 생체량은 46.33%, 상대중요성지수는 80.84%로 가장 중요한 먹이원이었다. 섭식된 어류 중 꺽지(Coreoperca herzi)와 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus) 치어가 풍부하였고 동종포식(cannibalism)으로 동사리 치어도 섭식하였다. 식성은 육식성 이었으며 먹이 섭취 특성과 형태는 육식포식자(stalker)에 속하였다. 전장이 증가함에 따라 섭식한 먹이의 생체량에 있어 파리류가 점진적으로 감소하였고 먹이 크기가 큰 어류가 증가하는 먹이전환이 발생하였다. 봄에는 먹이생물 중 어류(40.79%), 하루살이류(29.17%), 등각류(13.63%) 등을 주로 섭식하였고 여름에는 어류(52.65%), 하루살이류(23.27%), 단각류(6.12%) 등이 풍부하였고 가을에는 하루살이류(36.83%), 어류(23.99%), 날도래류(23.49%) 등을 많이 섭식하였다.
