Over the past few years, many studies have been conducted on the flow, sediment movement, pollution transportation and scour etc. However, very few attempts have been made at the hydraulic studies reflecting upon the ecological function. The objective of this study is to examine the structures of the flow and turbulence in an open circular channel and their relationship to distribution of the organisms and chironomids. Under different flow conditions, the organic matter and some chironomids were injected into the channel. Using the obtained velocity data, the flow mechanisms and the turbulent shear stresses were analyzed. Organic matters and chironomids were distributed on the region that the velocity was slower and the turbulent shear stresses were smaller. Some habitat moved even though chironomids were inhabited. This phenomenon has relationship with the flow mechanism. Some chironomids have distributed around the habitat structure of a hemisphere. The secondary flow has affected the deposition of the organic matters and the distribution of chironomids.

깔따구류 유충(Chironomidae larvae)은 저서성대형무척추동물로 수질 및 환경오염 생물 모니터링에 중요한 지표생물이다. 본 연구에서는 2022년 7월에서 9월 동안 한강의 다양한 수계에서 서식하는 깔따구류 유충을 채집하여 형태적 동정 및 유전자 계통 분석을 실시하였다. 20개 지점에서 총 3아과 18속 32종의 깔따구류 유충이 출현하였으며, 반지깔따구속에 속하는 1개 종이 6개 지점에서 우점하였다. 깔따구류 유충을 분류하는 데 이용하는 몸통, 두부, 하순기절, 촉각 등을 관찰하여 특징을 Pictorial key로 제시하였고, 유전자 계통분석 결과 3개 아과가 명확하게 구분되었으며, 속 수준에서도 구분이 되었다. 이러한 결과들은 깔따구류 유충 동정에 도움이 될 것이고, 수질 조사 및 관리에 기초적인 자료로 활용할 것으로 기대된다.

Numerical simulation of turbulence flow in a circulating channel was performed. The RNG $k-\varepsilon$ model and Reynolds stress model of the FLUENT was used for evaluating the flow mechanisms. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data measured by a ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocitmeter). The distribution of chironomids was analyzed by the computational results. They distributed at the region of lower velocities and lower turbulence intensity. In the case of a hemisphere structure being located on the straight section, chironomids lived in the upstream and downstream area of the hemisphere. The secondary currents also affected the distribution of chironomids. In conclusion, the computational fluid dynamic techniques can be inexpensively applied for analysing the relationship between flow characteristics and distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates.

On community data. sampled in regular intervals on a long-term basis. artificial neural networks were implemented to extract information on characterizing patterns of community changes. The Adaptive Resonance Theory and Kohonen Network were both utilized in learning benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Soktae Stream of the Suyong River collected monthly for three years. Initially, by regarding each monthly collection as a separate sample unit, communities were grouped into similar patterns after training with the networks. Subsequently, changes in communities in a sequence of samplings (e.g., two-month, four-month, etc.) were given as input to the networks. After training, it was possible to recognize new data set in line with the sampling procedure. Through the comparative study on benthic macroinvertebrates with these learning processes, patterns of community changes in chironomids diverged while those of the total benthic macro-invertebrates tended to be more stable.

Chironomids are a large group of invertebrates that live in various aquatic habitats. The distribution range of these invertebrates has become varied due to anthropogenic impacts; as such, their distribution can be used as an indicator of environmental health. Adult chironomids are well known in South Korea; however, the larvae have rarely been studied due to difficulties associated with morphological classification. To address this lack of information, we collected larvae from four important rivers in South Korea and summarized their taxonomic morphological characteristics. The antennae, mandible, and mentum were used for larval taxonomic characterization. In this study, we describe the basic morphological features and key pictorial features of 20 species of chironomids, representing 16 genera.

신갈지와 예당호, 주암호는 각각 소·중·대형호로 도시형 호소, 농업형 호소, 산지형 호소를 대변한다. 세 호소의 저서무척추동물 군집 조사 결과, 우점 저서무척추동물은 깔따구류로 조사되었고 실지렁이과가 아우점 생물로 나타났다. 저서무척추동물 군집 밀도는 호소의 호내부 저층보다 수변부에서 밀도가 높게 나타났다. 하지만 수변부의 저서무척추동물 군집 중 우점 생물인 깔따구류의 밀도는 수위가 높을 때는 낮게 나타났으며 수위가 낮을 때 밀도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 신갈지의 중앙 지점의 수변부에서는 수위가 높은 4월에는 깔따구의 밀도가 1,208 ind. m^-2으로 조사되었으나 수위가 낮은 7월에는 1,401 ind. m^-2으로 증가하였다. 예당호의 중앙 지점 수변부의 수위가 낮았던 7월에는 깔따구류의 밀도가 2,171 ind. m^-2으로 다른 시기보다 높게 나타났다. 수위가 낮았던 7월의 예당호 유출 지점 깔따구류 밀도는 1,990 ind. m^-2으로 조사되어 수위가 높았던 4월과 10월에 비해 깔따구류의 밀도가 높았다. 주암호의 수위는 4월에 100.2 EL.m로 9월의 103.7 EL.m로 조사되었으며 해당 기간 유입 지점 수변부 깔따구류 밀도는 4월에 1,340으로 9월의 236 ind. m^-2으로 조사되었다. 주암호 중앙 지점도 4월에는 2,294 ind. m^-2으로 9월에 비해 밀도가 높았으며 4월 유출 지점의 수변부 깔따구류 밀도는 1,620 ind. m-2으로 조사되었으나 수위가 올라간 9월에는 깔따구류가 출현하지 않았다. 따라서 차후 호소에서 저수무척추동물 군집 조사는 해당 호소의 수위를 고려하여 조사할 필요가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 호소에서 저서무척추동물의 조사 및 평가 방법 개발에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

non-steroidal ecdysteroid 길항물질인 tebufenozide를 사용하여 C. flaviplumus와 C. riparius에 끼친 영향을 실내실험 하였다. 정적인 실험조건 하에서 깔따구류를 다양한 농도로 처리하였다 대부분의 실험에서 비처리군과 처리군은 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 보였다. tebufenozide의 농도가 높을수록 치사율은 증가되었으며 이는 탈피과정 또는 변태과정과 연관되었다. 30 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 고농도 처리에서 C. riparius의 유충 치사율은 C. flaviplumus보다 높았다. 발생적인 측면에서 상대적으로 낮은 농도인 10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$처리 하에서 성장지연이 보였다. 본 연구에서 탈피를 통하여 성충이 된 비율은 농도처리와 노출된 종에 따라 차이가 있었다.

The effects of Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on the fourth instar larvae of Chironomus riparius were tested in the laboratory. Employing a waterreplacement exposure setup, chironomids were subjected to various concentrations. In the most treatments mortality reached a statistically significant difference from the control conditions. As DEHP concentrations were increased, the rates of emerged adults decreased. Sex ratio was unaffected with little deviation from a 1:1 relationship (except in 1 and $30\mu{g}\;L^{-1})$. The developmental stages was delayed at low concentration (0.3 and $1\mu{g}\;L^{-1})$. Generally the emergent period was different between males and females, and the first emergent day of males was faster than females. The body shape of female adults was larger than males. Differences between males and females were found in body volume, body length and body width. In addition, the body volume showed the significant difference between controls and treatments, and those especially well observed females.

Benthic macroinvertebrates were collecte in the middle reaches of the paenae stream, a tributary of th naktong river in korea, in four seasons from August 1989. To may 1990, during the study period, 125 species, 81 genera and 41 families were collected. Overall, the most dominant species was lepidostoma sp. 1 followed by heptagenia kihada, neoperla quadrata, diamesa sp. 1, ect.. the community was most diverse in autumn, However the number of collectd individuals was highest in winter. Species of chironomids including diamesa sp. 1 and mayflies including paraleptophlebia chocorata were collected exceptionally in a large number in winter. Seasonal occurrence of funtional groups such as collectors, shredders and scrapers was related with the availadlity of food sourses in the stream. The abundance of predators was relatively stable in four seasons with 17% on average. Diversity, tbi and chandler's biotic score(bs) in the paenae strem were 3.75, 14.5, and 100 on average, respectively. Based on biological and chemical indices the paenae stream was clean in the range of xeno- and oligo- saprobity.
