본 연구에서는 어류가두리양식장 시설의 재배치 이후 기존 양식장 아래 퇴적물의 회복상태를 규명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위하여 양식장 아래 퇴적물과 저서다모류 군집 조사를 수행하였다. 양식장 철거 이전인 2017년 10월에 사전 조사를 수행하였으며, 양식장 철거 이후인 2017년 11월부터 2018년 10월까지는 매달, 이후 2020년 10월까지는 2 ~ 3달 간격으로 조사하였다. 조사 정점은 철거된 양식장 위치에 3개 정점(Farm1 ~ 3)과 양식시설물이 없는 주변 해역에 3개의 대조 정점(Con1 ~ 3)으로 선정하였다. 사전 조사에서 기존 양식장의 총유기탄소(평균 22.67 mg·g^-1 dry weight)는 대조 정점(평균 13.68 mg·g^-1 dry weight)보다 높았으나, 양식장 철거 이후 점차 감소하여 약 1년 이후에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05). 저서다모류 군집은 여름철 기존 정점에서 무생물 군집이 출현하였으며, 무생물 시기 이후 오염지시종인 Capitella capitata 단일종이 극우점하는 낮은 다양도의 군집으로 천이하였다. 다음해 여름철 무생물 시기 이전까지 종다양도가 증가하고 오염지시종의 비율이 감소하여 저서다모류 군집이 회복되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 이러한 변화는 매년 반복되었다. 연구 지역은 양식장 아래의 지형학적인 특성으로 인하여 매년 무생물 군집이 출현하고 있으나, 조사가 진행될수록 무생물 발생 기간은 짧아지고, 군집이 회복되는 과정은 빠르게 진행되었다. 어류 양식장의 이전 후 기존 양식장 정점의 퇴적물은 생물학적인 회복이 여전히 진행 중이며, 추가적인 모니터링을 통해 회복의 경향을 연구할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 패류양식업이 밀집한 남해 강진만 해역에서 수하식 및 살포식 양식해역과 비양식해역을 구분하여 양식활동으로 인한 유기물 축적과 저서다모류군집 변화를 파악하고, 어장환경평가 기법을 활용하여 건강도를 평가하고자 수행되었다. 남해 강진만 해역의 평균 입도, 수온, 염분농도, 총유기탄소 등의 시·공간 분포는 정점간에 큰 차이가 없었던 반면, 출현 종수, 개체밀도와 종다양도 등은 살포식 양식 해역의 정점이 다른 해역의 정점과 비교해 상대적으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 한편 집괴분석과 주요좌표분석 결과에서도 살포식 양식해역 정점의 저서다모류군집이 나머지 정점의 군집과 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 수하식 양식해역의 정점과 비양식해역 정점에서는 오염지시종인 Scolectoma longifolia와 Sigambra tentaculata가 우점종으로 출현하였으나, 수심과 해수 유통 등의 물리적인 요인에 의한 영향을 받는 일부 정점을 제외하면 점유율이 높지 않았다. 강진만 해역의 저서생태계 건강도는 1~2등급으로 양호한 상태였다. 그러나, 다모류군집구조의 시·공간 분포와 저서생태계 건강도지수를 고려하면 살포식 양식해역의 퇴적환경은 양식으로 인한 물리적인 교란에 영향을 받는 것으로 보여진다.

Wetlands are one of the most representative groundwater dependent ecosystems(GDEs) that require access to groundwater on a permanent or intermittent basis to maintain their biological communities and ecological processes. In this study, the seasonal characteristics of the GDEs in Baekseok Reservoir Wetland were evaluated through the monitoring of the temporal and spatial community of benthic macroinvertebrates in the wetland. The appearance of benthic macroinvertebrates appearance was changed seasonally depending on environmental factors such temperature, precipitation and water level for their habitat and it also showed the clear spatial difference in the wetland. The scores of Diversity index(H'), Richness Index (R1) and the Ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrates (TESB/AESB) were relatively high at St.3 and 4(i.e., north area) where groundwater inflows into wetland(i.e., high ²²²Rn conc.). The statistical analysis (ANOVA test and PCA) investigated the correlation among the benthic macroinvertebrates' community, groundwater level, wetland water level and water quality. The results showed that the community of benthic macroinvertebrates at St. 3 and 4 in Baekseok Reservoir Wetlands was spatially dependent on groundwater level and groundwater inflow. The characterization and assessment of GDEs requires understanding the hydrological, biogeochemical and biological process and this study will provide information for characterization and assessment of GDEs.

금강하구 서천 및 유부도 갯벌은 동아시아-대양주 철새의 이동경로상 에너지 보충을 위한 중요한 중간 기착지점으로, 갯벌의 저서성무척추동물은 이들의 중요한 먹이원이 된다. 즉, 갯벌의 저서성무척추동물은 에너지 흐름의 중요한 생태적 역할을 담당한다. 금강하구 서천 및 유부도 갯벌의 저서성무척추동물 군집 분포와 환경요인 관계를 파악하기 위해 본 연구가 수행되었다. 가을철 이주 기간에 실시한 저서성무척추동물의 군집 분포 조사 결과, 저서성무척추동물은 총 147종, 밀도와 생체량은 각각 $1,772{\pm}1,342$ 개체/$m^2$, $445.1{\pm}807.6g/m^2$으로 나타났다. 출현종과 서식밀도 자료를 기반으로 각 정점 간 상호 유사도 분석결과, 크게 2개의 군집으로 구분되었다. A 군집은 칠게-고리버들갯지렁이 군집(Macrophthalmus-Heteromastus community)이었고, B군집은 달걀얼굴갯지렁이류-단각류 군집(Spio-Urothoe-Mandibulophoxus community)이었다. B 군집이 A 군집에 비하여 평균 출현종수, 서식밀도, 생체량 등이 월등히 높았다. BIO-ENV 분석 결과, 저서성무척추동물 군집은 퇴적환경 변수인 모래함량과 분급도 조합에 의한 영향을 가장 크게 받는 것(${\rho}=0.500$)으로 나타났다. 종수와 가장 큰 상관성을 보이는 환경변수는 분급도(p=0.015)로 나타났고, 생체량과 가장 높은 상관관계를 보이는 환경변수는 공극수 DO(p=0.003)였다.

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities were collected from six different sites in the Dobong Stream in Seoul, Korea to investigate spatial and temporal changes in benthic macroinvertebrate communities in response to natural disturbances such as floods and droughts. We collected samples monthly or semimonthly with a Surber net ($30cm{\times}30cm$), and measured environmental factors, including stream temperature, discharge, width, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH at each sampling site. Benthic macro invertebrates were strongly affected by floods as well as droughts. In addition, benthic macroinvertebrate communities displayed different responses to the onset of the rainy season in summer 2006 and 2007, apparently due to differences in the intensity and amount of precipitation. Chironomids were particularly sensitive to heavy rain. Floods and droughts also affected the proportions of functional feeding groups during the survey period: the proportion of scrapers was high right after heavy rains, while the proportion of predators tended to increase in intermittent-type streams as the riffle zone decreased. Finally, although species richness and abundance were strongly influenced by heavy rain, they recovered to background levels for within one month, and varied consistently among stream types, indicating habitat stability.

This study was conducted to examine how a low-head dam removal (partial removal) could affect benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a stream. Benthic macroinvertebrates and substrates were seasonally sampled before and after dam removal (March 2006-April 2007). Benthic macroinvertebrates and substrates were quantitatively sampled from immediately upstream (upper: pool) and downstream (lower: riffle) sites, the location of the dam itself (middle), and immediately above the impoundment (control: riffle). After the removal, species richness and density of benthic macroinvertebrates as well as the EPT group (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) increased to higher levels than those before the removal, while functional feeding groups and habitat orientation groups changed more heterogeneously at the upper site. At the lower site, species richness and density decreased somewhat immediately after dam removal, which was associated with an increase of silt and sand, but recovered after monsoon floods which helped to enhance substrate diversity at the upper site. Decreased dominance index and increased diversity index in both the upper and lower sites are evidence of positive effects from the dam removal. In conclusion, we suggest that even a partial removal of a dam, resulting in increased substrate diversity in the upper site, could sufficiently help rehabilitate lost ecological integrity of streams without major habitat changes.

This study was performed to find out the distribution aspect of benthic macroinvertebrates according to altitude in a mountain stream (a main stream: Buk stream, a tributary: Hangye stream) of Seoraksan. The survey was conducted from August to November in 2010. All survey sites were very sound because the mountain was being maintained as a protection area of the national park. Water quality and the composition of substrata were similar in all sites. Benthic macroinvertebrates of 3 phyla, 4 classes, 9 orders and 84 species occurred in the stream. Along with the decline of altitude, shredders of the functional feeding groups (FFGs) decreased, while collector filterers increased. In particular, collector filterers increased sharply at the altitude of 600 ~ 500 m (S.E.L.). Benthic macroinvertebrates showed low similarity between the uppermost site and the lower sites. Altitude appeared to be a significant factor that influence the structure and distribution of benthic macroinvertebrate community.

A study on the distribution and community structure of the benthic macroinvertebrates on the intertidal zones of Gapa and Mara islets were carried out from March to June 1991. The macroinvertebrates collected and identified were composed of 7 phyla, 14 classes, 29 orders, 68 families and 132 speies in Gapa islet and of 7 phyla, 12 classes, 23 orders, 49 familis and 90 species in Maara islet. The first and second dominant species and the community dominance indices of the upper tidal zones of Gapa and Mara islets were Nodilittorina exigua, Pollicipes mitella and 79.01, 69.77 respectively. However, the dominant species of the middle and lower intertidal zones of the two islets were not identities and different among the tidal zones.

Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected two times from 116 sites at the $1^{st}{\sim}4^{th}$ order streams in forest areas in Gyungsang province in late spring and late summer. The sample sites belonged to slightly and moderately polluted states. When communities were classified by the Self-Organizing Map (SOM), the gradient was observed according to degree of pollution. Within clusters of slightly polluted sites, however, seasonality was further observed. Scrapers, gatherer-collectors, and filterer-collectors were abundantly observed in late spring while shredders appeared more in late summer. The number of predator species increased in late summer. Behavior types were mostly clingers in two seasons. Community compositions at the moderately polluted sites were not much differentiated in different seasons. Gatherer-collectors and burrowers were dominantly collected in both seasons.

A study on the distribution and seasonal changes of the benthic macroinvertebrate community was performed on the 4 intertidal rocky shores of Biyang-do in Chehu Island throughout four seasons from January 1992 to january 1993. The macroinvertebrates composed of 8 phyla, 15 classes, 31 orders, 71 families, 168 species. The seasonal appearing species were 135 species in summer, 127 species in spring, 124 species in winter and 121 species in autumn, respectively. The dominant species of the upper zones were Nodilittorina exigua, Nerita japonica, Pollicipes mitella, the middle zones were Turbo coronata coreensis, Monodonta neritoides, petrolisthes japonicus and the lower zones were Pagurus samuelis, Chthamalus pilsbryi, Chlorostoma argyrostoma lischkei. The community dominance indices of the upper zones were much higher than the middle and lower zones. The seasonal appearnace in species in the lower zones were remarkable, but individual numbes were not. Species diversity and evenness in all investigated zones were highest in spring and lowest in winter. But species richness was highest in summer, lowest in autumm.
