본 연구에서는 저서성 대형무척추동물의 탄소와 질소 안정동위원소비를 이용하여 생태지위면적을 계산하고 수생태계 평가 활용 여부를 분석하였다. 평가를 위해 영산강 승촌보의 상류와 하류에 서식하고 있는 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생태지위면적을 6월과 8월 두차례에 걸쳐 비교하여 보로 인한 영향 유무를 집중호우 전후 시기로 구분하여 평가하였다. 또한, 수질과 군집지수 및 생물지수 (BMI)를 각각 측정하고 계산하여 계산된 생태지위면적과의 연관 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 생태지위면적의 계산은 R 프로그램의 SIBER 패키지에서 제공하는 Bayesian Stable Isotope 기능을 이용하여 수행하였다. 승촌보 지역의 집중호우 이전 시기인 6월과 집중호우 이후 시기인 8월의 수질과 생물지수는 집중호우 전과 후 차이를 나타냈으나, 승촌보의 상류와 하류 지점에서 보로 인한 차이의 뚜렷한 경향은 나타나지 않았다. 반면, 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생태지위면적은 6월과 8월 조사에서 모두 상류 지역과 비교하여 하류 지역에서 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 보로 인한 하천의 물리적 변화가 수질과 관계없이 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생태지위면적에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 의미하며, 종조성 변화와 같은 서식처 선호도에 따른 구성 생물의 변화와 같은 직접적인 영향 외에 서식처 환경 변화를 통한 종합적인 영향을 반영하는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 안정동위원소를 이용한 생태지위면적 값으로 먹이의 다양성, 선택성, 종의 생태적 지위, 경쟁 수준 등을 정량적으로 평가하여 기존의 지수를 이용한 평가방법을 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In carrying out the prior review on environmental conditions for basic plan of public waters reclamation, the important item is review on conditions of location on prearranged reclaimed land. In this study, environmental assessment which needs careful consideration in the first stage of selecting location is presented by analyzing environmental impact assessment on public waters reclamation projects for about 10 years. The assessment index for alternative comparison is divided into two parts according to importance level. What is most important in alternative comparison is the comparison on direct influence due to reclamation. In other words, it figures out damaged extent of natural shoreline as well as intertidal and infralittoral zones. Comparing influence extent due to reclamation through the 1st comparison on this is regarded as to be important. In case there is no significant difference by alternatives through the 1st assessment, the 2nd assessment should be carried out. In the 2nd assessment indexes are damaged quantity of benthic organism, change in seawater current, erosion, accumulation and exchangeable rate of seawater. The plan for selecting optimal location which minimizes environmental influence in establishing public waters reclamation plan is demonstrated through model cases. For this, 3 districts which have similar environment and scale are selected, and then comparison on location alternative is made through environmental assessment index. In addition, the comparison on 3 arrangement alternatives are conducted, targeting certain areas. It is thought that carrying out comparison review on respective areas in the same cities and counties, not merely comparing arrangement plan by selecting 1 targeting area in advance, is the most appropriate. Besides, selection of arrangement plan considering environment, which minimizes damage of natural shoreline and influence due to change of seawater current is required in alternative comparison on arrangement plan as well. In case of the prior review on environmental conditions though alternative comparison method presented in this study is carried out, it is safely said that the influence on ocean environment due to public waters reclamation can be minimized.

본 연구에서는 저서다모류 군집의 구조와 생태학적 건강도를 파악하기 위하여 진도 해역과 제주도 해역에서 각 7개씩 총 14개 정점에서 2010년 8월부터 2012년 9월까지 총 5회에 걸쳐 반기별로 저서다모류 군집조사를 실시하였다. 저서다모류의 서식기질로서 퇴적물의 입도조성을 분석한 결과 진도 해역은 비교적 혼합질 퇴적상을 나타낸 반면 제주도 해역은 모래함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 총 14개 정점에서 출현한 저서다모류는 68종, 231 ind./m² 서식밀도를 나타내었으며, 진도 해역에서는 61종, 167 ind./m², 제주도 해역에서는 62종, 295 ind./m²로 나타났다. 시기별로 출현종에는 차이가 있었으며 제주도 해역에서 전반적으로 종수 및 서식밀도가 높게 나타났다. 출현 서식밀도의 자료를 이용하여 우점종을 선정한 결과 진도 해역은 Heteromastus filiformis, Ampharete arctica, Prionospio sp., Sigambra tentaculata, Thelepus sp. 순으로 나타났다. 반면 제주도 해역은 Amphicteis gunneri, Ampharete arctica, Prionospio sp., Spiochaetopterus costarum, Heteromastus filiformis 순으로 나타났다. 종조성과 정점 간 유사도에 근거한 집괴분석 결과 정점 5와 6을 제외한 정점에서 진도 해역과 제주도 해역으로 확연히 구분되었다. AMBI 분석 결과 1.2-3.4의 결과를 보였으며, 모든 정점에서 V등급 저서다모류는 출현하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 진도 해역과 제주도 해역은 지리적 위치 및 퇴적상에 따라 저서다모류 군집이 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전반적으로 시공간적인 큰 변동 없이 비교적 안정된 군집을 형성하고 있음을 시사하였다.

Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-gatherer, collector-filterer, predator, scrapper, and shredder) of benthic macro invertebrates. Each sampling site was categorized to three stream types (perennial, intermittent and drought) based on the water flow condition. Exergy values were low at all study sites right after a heavy rain and relatively higher in the perennial stream type than in the intermittent or the drought stream type. Self-Organizing Map (SOM), unsupervised artificial neural network, was implemented to pattern spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological exergy of the study sites. SOM classified samples into four clusters. The classification reflected the effects of floods and droughts on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and was mainly related with the stream types of the sampling sites. Exergy values of each functional feeding group also responded differently according to the different stream types. Finally, the results showed that exergy is an effective ecological indicator, and patterning changes of exergy using SOM is an effective way to evaluate target ecosystems.

Jinwi Stream is considerably polluted. The urban development in a Jinwi Stream basin can make state of aquatic ecosystem worse. However, researches for aquatic ecosystems in Jinwi Stream are insufficient. In this study, biotic indices of periphytic diatoms (DAIpo and TDI), benthic macroinvertebrates (EPT, KSI and ESB) and fish (IBI) were compared with the annual water quality data. Benthic macroinvertebrates indices showed highly significant correlations with concentrations of organic materials and nutrients, while DAIpo, TDI and IBI showed low correlations with them. In particular, ESB can be considered as an useful indicator that reflects the degree of diversity and abundance of biotic community as well as water quality. In polluted and disturbed streams as Jinwi Stream, DAIpo, TDI and IBI appeared to be not available for evaluating and discriminating the water quality, although they have been known as good indices in general streams.

The tolerance of Korean benthic macroinvertebrates to organic pollution has been analyzed since the early 1990s. However, considering the fact that there have been related studies carried out in some European countries since the early 20th century, the history of the research in Korea is very short and there is still much knowledge to supplement. We revised the saprobic valency, the saprobic value and the indicator weight value of 190 benthic macroinvertebrates taxa through the data of water quality and individual abundance collected from 7,086 sampling units in Korea from 2008 to 2014. The individual abundance of Uracanthella (Ephemeroptera) as a representative, one of the most common and abundant taxa in Korea, showed a typical lognormal distribution to 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) concentration, and a normal distribution to the class interval of BOD5 concentration according to saprobic series. The value combining the mean individual abundance and the relative frequency of occurrence was a more efficient indicator value than that of each property alone. Benthic Macroinertebrates Index (BMI) was newly proposed as a modification of the saprobic index of Zelinka and Marvan (1961). BMI showed extremely significant correlation (determination coefficient $r^2$ > 0.6, n = 569 sites) with the concentration of BOD5, and the coefficient was a little higher than those of the previous indices. Until now, there has been very little research on the assessment of biological integrity of benthic macroinvertebrates community in Korea. While continuing researches into improve the reliability of BMI, it is necessary to develop multimetric indices for evaluating the integrity, including the composition of species and functional guilds, and the richness and diversity of the community.

2011년 2월부터 2012년 11월까지 진해만에 23개 정점을 선정하여 저서오염지수를 이용하여 대형저서동물의 군집건강도를 평가해 보았다. 그 결과, 거제도 북쪽과 칠천도 부근의 정점을 제외한 모든 진해만 해역에서 저서동물군집의 건강도가 4~5등급으로 매우 오염된 상태인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 마산만과 고성만, 통영만의 일부 정점들에서는 기회종이 속한 4그룹의 비중이 90% 이상으로 나타났는데, 이는 저서환경이 오염되어 있음을 시사한다. 진해만에서는 마산만, 행암만, 통영만, 고현만에서 여름철 hypoxia 현상으로 인해 무생물 상태를 보였고, 종료 후 기회종이 대량 가입하는 양상을 보였다. 하지만 hypoxia 후 기회종이 가입되지 않은 일부 정점들이 관찰되었고, 이로 인해 저서건강도가 과대평가되는 현상에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 진해만의 저서건강도는 경기만의 시화호, 부산항만 등 다른 특별관리해역들에 비해서도 매우 낮게 나타나 심각하게 오염된 저서환경임을 시사하였다.

This paper discusses a methodology where an integrated modelling framework is used to quantify the risk derived from anthropic activities on habitats and species. To achieve this purpose, a tool comprising the Delft3D and HABITAT model, was applied in the Yeongsan river. Delft3D effectively simulated the operational condition and flow of weirs in river. In accuracy evaluation of the Delft3D-FLOW, the Bias, Pbias, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and Index of Agreement (IOA) were used, and the result was evaluated as grade above 'Satisfactory'. The HABITAT calculated Habitat Suitability Value (HSV) for the following eight species: mammal, fish, aquatic plant, and benthic macroinvertebrate. An Area was defined as a suitable habitat if the HSV was larger than 0.5. HABITAT was judged accurately by measuring the Correct Classification rate (CCR) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). For benthic macroinvertebrate, the CCR and AUC were 77% and 0.834, respectively, at thresholds of 0.017 and 4 inds/m² for HSV and individuals per unit area. This meant that the HABITAT model accurately predicted the appearance of the benthic macroinvertebrates by approximately 77% and that the probability of false alarms was also very low. As a result of evaluating the suitability of habitats, in the Yeongsan river, if the annual "lowest level" (Seungchon weir: 2.5 EL.m/ Juksan weir: -1.35 EL.m) was maintained, the average habitat improvement effect of 6.5%P compared to the 'reference' scenario was predicted. Consequently, it was demonstrated that the integrated modelling framework for habitat suitability assessment is able to support the remedy aquatic ecological management.

Bentic macroinvertebrate and fish fauna were investigated from September 2008 to October 2009 in the middle reach of the Suyoung river in Busan. During the survey period benthic macroinvertebrates were collected total 35 species at the three sites (Hanmul-gyo, Dongcheon-gyo, Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. At that sites, species diversity index was 1.9, 1.5, 1.6, dominance index was 0.75, 0.81, 0.86 and Korean Saprobic Index (KSI) was 1.8(B), 4.4(D), 4.4(D) on average, respectively. Dominant species was Caenis Kua, Chironomidae sp., at Hanmul-gyo site and Limnodrilus gotoi, Chironomidae sp., at Dongcheon-gyo and Seokdae Jct. sites. Fish fauna was also investigated at the two sites (Hanmul-gyo and Seokdae Jct.) of Suyoung river. Total caught fishes were 10 species 32 individuals in the first survey and 6 species 26 individuals in the second survey. Dominant species was Carassius auratus in the both surveys. Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) value was C grade at the Hanmul-gyo and D grade at the Seokdae Jct.

국내 물관리정책은 농도 중심의 물관리에서 부하량 관리 중심의 오염총량관리로 전환되면서 수질 및 수생태계에 변화를 가져왔다. 하지만 오염원의 변화와 유량 변동 등으로 총량제 시행 이후 수질 및 수생태계 건강성이 개선되었는지 판단하기 어려워 로그선형모델과 생물지표(저서성 대형무척추동물)를 활용하여 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 진위천수계의 BOD와 T-P농도는 각각 30%, 35% 저감되어 수질개선 효과를 보였으나, 저서생물지수(BMI) 결과 D등급에서 E등급으로 악화되었다. 진위천수계의 수생태계 건강성을 개선하기 위해서 생태하천을 가꾸는 노력이 필요하다.
