The purpose of this study was to present the necessity and effect of culvert fishway, based on the absence of design criteria for it which fishes can pass. As an attempt for this purpose, circular culvert fishway were designed hydraulically to meet the passage condition for selected target fish species, and post-monitoring was performed to confirm its effectiveness. In the case of general circular culvert without weir baffles, the target fish species cannot pass because of the constant depth and velocity in the entire reach of the circular culvert, so it was confirmed that resting pools must be installed to help fish passage. In the case of circular culvert with weir baffles, the depth and the mean velocity in resting pool increased by about 240% and decreased by about 70% respectively, which not only satisfied the passage conditions of Zacco platypus that can swim at more than 10 times the speed of body length for 1 to 5 seconds, but also confirmed that various river fish could pass. Post-monitoring results of the restoration reach and fish capture monitoring surveys of circular culvert fishway demonstrated that the target fish species, Zacco platypus, can pass through it.

Fishways installed in Korea usually generate high-velocity flows and low water depth that impede fish movement, despite the fact that most fish are migratory or move to survive. Moreover, domestic design standards for fishways fail to consider the swimming ability of various fish species that live in rivers. Therefore, it is necessary to establish design standards for fishways to function properly, which requires research on the swimming performance of domestic migratory fish and the hydraulic characteristics of fishways. Accordingly, in this research, the swimming performance of fish was objectively analyzed by applying the incremental velocity and fixed velocity methods to carp, respectively, and the critical swimming velocity was presented. As the result, it was appropriate to set the critical swimming velocity to 0.7 m/s - 0.8 m/s for incremental velocity and 0.8 m/s for fixed velocity. Comprehensively analyzing the two experimental methods, the critical swimming velocity for designing the fishway for carp can be determined to be about 0.8 m/s. In the future, it will be necessary to analyze the swimming performance of various migratory fish and prepare fishway design standards for each species.

본 연구에서는 낙동강에 위치한 강정고령보에 설치된 자연형 어도의 유인효율 증대를 위한 어도의 위치 수정 제시를 하였다. 평면 2차원 물리서식처 모형인 River2D 모형을 통해 강정고령보의 자연형어도 입구부의 유속장과 WUA(Weighted Usable Area)를 이용하여 유인효율을 분석 실시하였다. 유인효율 분석 결과 자료와 2013년도 어류모니터링 자료를 통해 WUA는 어류 유인효율 평가하는 지수로 사용 될 수 있는 것을 간접적으로 검증하였다. 어류의 소상에는 유속이 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 모의를 통한 강정고령보의 유속장을 확인해보면 자연형어도가 설치된 좌안과는 반대로 우안쪽으로 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 어도의 모양 및 위치를 수정한 지형자료를 이용하여 River2D 모형모의를 통한 어도의 유인효율을 증대 시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 유속장이 주로 발생하는 보 우안쪽에 설치하는 것이 유인효율을 최대로 끌어낼 수 있었지만 비용적인 부분과 유인효율을 같이 생각한다면 현재 설치된 좌안 자연형어도의 입구부를 상류쪽으로 위치하여 재설치하는 것이 어류의 유인효율을 증대시켜주는 효과적인 제시방안이 되리라 사료 된다.

The changes in fish stock and biomass before and after fishway renovation located in a Korean estuary were studied and fluctuations in the economic value of the fish resources were estimated. The target fishway located in the east coast area in Korea was renovated in 2014 from the small fish ladder to the ice-harbor fishway. Monitoring was continued for five consecutive years after the renovation(2015 to 2019). Since the renovation of the fish passage, the economic values increased with increases in the fishery resources, except for in 2016 when the drought impact was severe. The yearly average incremental increase in the five years after the renovation was about 227%. The increase in economic value is believed to be due to the increased population of migratory fish as a result of habitat expansion. The exponential rise model showed an increase in economic value with increasing fishery resources (R²=0.896). The model coefficient contributing to economic analysis was 0.582 and the maximum economic value after the renovation was estimated at about 30.4 million. The economic value would be a useful index for quantitative comparison in terms of ecosystem services before and after renovation.

In 2020, South Korea initiated research and development of a longitudinal connectivity evaluation between upstream and downstream based on stream ecosystem health. This study analyzed the migration of upstream and downstream migratory fish species, fish distribution characteristics, trophic guilds, tolerance guilds, and species composition changes from 2015 to 2020 at Songrim weir in Yeongok stream, where the cross-structure of an ice harbor-type fishway for fish movement was recently improved. A total of 5,136 fish, including 36 species, were collected and three major migratory fishes were identified, namely, Tribolodon hakonensis, Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis, and Oncorhynchus keta. According to the comparative analysis before (Pre-I) and after (Post-I) improvement of the fishway, the relative abundance of primary freshwater fish increased in the upstream section, while the number of migratory fishes decreased. The fish species that used the fishway in the Songrim weir were Tribolodon hakonensis (58.4%) and Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis(11.8%). According to the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test migratory fish showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the upstream and downstream, showing a biological improvement effect of the crossstructure. On the other hand, the annual change of migratory fish based on the MannKendall trend test did not significantly increase or decrease (p>0.05). Therefore, in the fish passage improvement project, it is necessary not only for physical, hydrological, and structural tests, but also for pre- and post-biological tests on the use and improvement effect of fishway.
