In this study, the fish-migration ratios of rivers were analyzed, with the aim of proposing objective materials to help South Koreans to establish fish migration systems efficiently in the future. A total of 34,012 weirs have been built in the five major basins, with 5,081 fish-ways observed. Consequently, the fish migration ratio was considered low (14.9 %). According to the findings of the study analyzing the 5,081 fish-ways, standard-type fish-ways took up 68 % of the total while the non-standard types accounted for 32 %. The five major basins were observed to have a total fish-migration ratio of 21.4 %. Regarding tributaries, Tributary 1 accounted for 27.5 % of the fish-migration ratio, while Tributary 2 and 3 accounted for 19.8 % and 16.3 %, respectively. In conclusion, the study argues that any relevant field in the fishing industry of South Korea needs to improve their understanding of the fish-migration ratio. This would be expected, eventually, to help them maximize the efficiency of a minimum number of fish-ways. In addition, the study supports the need for those in relevant fields to study carefully the ecological needs of each fish species, before establishing priority standards for the building of fish-ways.

The pale chub (Zacco platypus) is a dominant species that migrates locally and inhabits in rivers in Korea. The fish movement at confluences or hydraulic connections is very important especially for the life of small fish as pale chub. If main stream and off-channel habitats are connected with culverts, they would restrict the fish movement due to the high flow velocities and low depths. In foreign conturies, design flow conditions of fish friendly culvert, including flood flow capacity and fish-passage flow capacity, were assigned. Installation of culvert fishways is one way to improve the fish-passing capacity of culverts. On the contrary, in Korea, the design flow of culvert contains only the flood flow capacity. The effect of the fish passage with offset baffles was tested with the fixed velocity method in an experimental flume. As a result, An occasion velocity 1.2m/s, proportional success of pale chubs pass is maximum 20% improve than without baffle flume for energy dissipate. Offset baffle fishway(baffle height 5cm) provides that resting areas and/or a continuous channel of low velocity water in culverts. Especially, short baffle areas are domain where the pale chubs pass. And, FLOW-3D, a three dimentional numerical model, was used in order to evaluate detailed hydraulic characteristics and application possibility in a culvert fishway design.

Churyeong Stream flows 37km from the mouth of Lake Okjeong and is impeded by many weirs that hamper the active movement of land-locked sweet smelt fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) that ascend and descend between the lake and the upper stream. In late December 2006, a fishway was constructed in a weir of the lower reach of Churyeong Stream, where juveniles begin their ascent to mature upstream. At 13 sites along the stream from April to October 2007, we investigated the effects of the newly constructed fishway on sweet smelt growth. After construction of the fishway, juvenile sweet smelt were able to migrate freely upstream, something that had previously only been possible when the weir was in flood. The body size of mature sweet smelt collected during the spawning season in September 2007 was greatly increased compared to previous seasons, measuring an average of $163{\pm}21.5mm$ in standard length. These measurements were 13mm, 20mm, and 57mm longer than body length averages for mature sweet smelt collected in 2006, 2004, and 2005, respectively. Therefore, it is likely to be necessary for the construction of fishways on streams and rivers containing land-locked sweet smelt populations to increase average body sizes and viability.

The objective of this study was to evaluate survival rate and fish movement (migration) using a tagging approach of passive integrated transponder (PIT) in Juksan Weir, which was constructed as a four major river restoration projects. For this study, survival rates of each fish species and the mobility of fish individuals were analyzed during 2 weeks by the insertion of PIT tags to various fish species in the laboratory. According to tagging tests in the laboratory, the survival rate 37.5% (30 survivals of 80 individuals) after the insertion of PIT tags. The survival rate of Carassius auratus and Hemibarbus labeo was 100% and 80% after the insertion of the tags, respectively, whereas it was only 13.3% for Zacco platypus. In the field experiments of Juksan Weir, 6 species and 157 individuals from 8 species (563 individuals) were detected in the fixed automatic data-logging system, indicating a detection rate of 27.9% in the fishway of Juksan Weir. In the meantime, some species with no or low detection rates in the fixed automatic data-logging system were turn out to be stagnant-type species, which prefer stagnant or standing water to live.

This study deals with hydraulic characteristics and their effects on upstream migration of fish by the weir type in a pool-weir fishway, and presents an optimal type of weir for an easy upstream migration. Experiment was performed to estimate hydraulic conditions by the weir type and to determine which type was good. The results showed that a rectangular weir with a small rectangular notch installed by a zig-zag type was preferable to a simple weir with no notch or to a trapezoidal weir, since it makes possible for upstream migration even when a water level draws down and moreover, it makes falling flow through a notch which facilitates upstream migration. It was proposed that the notch must be designed that the flow situation may keep the streaming flow so long as the maximum flow velocity does not exceed the critical swiming velocity, i.e., the dimensionless flow rate may exist whthin the range of 0.27 and 0.41.

어류는 민감하기 때문에 최적화된 어도를 설계하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 관찰, 수리모형시험과 같은 방법을 이용한 연구가 주를 이루어 왔다. 최근 들어 어도에 대한 기본 지식의 축적과 CFD 프로그램이 발전함에 따라 수치모의를 이용해 최적 어도를 설계하고자 하는 노력이 활발해 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적 어도 설계를 도모하기 위해서 어류의 휴식을 위해 설치되는 풀(pool) 내의 흐름해석을 수행하였다. 군남홍수조절지를 대상으로 설계도면을 분석하여 3차원으로 변환하여 구조물형상을 구축하였으며, FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 흐름을 해석하였다. 휴식 풀 내의 흐름을 모의한 결과 어도 내 월류 수심이 10cm 일 경우, 휴식 풀 내 유속은 풀 내 유입어도의 노치와 잠공부분에서 최대 유속이 0.4m/s로 나타났고, 국부적으로 집중된 유속에 의해 풀 내 순환류가 발생하나, 유속의 범위가 최대 0.15m/s를 넘지 않는 것으로 모의되었다.

The fishways at Namdae-cheon and Osib-cheon were investigated from July 1998 through October 1999. There are three types of fishways on these rivers. those are baffied fishway, fish ladder, and fish ladder with gabion. Namdae-cheon has 7 baffled fishways and 19 fish ladders, and Osib-cheon has 7 gabion fishways. On namdae-cheon, 1,775 fishes of 24 species were collected. Among these fishes, 452 fishes of 11 species were anadromous fishes occupying 46% in species and 25% in number. On Osib-cheon, 1,953 fishes of 24 species were collected. Among these fishes, 483 fishes of 5 species were anadromous fishes occupying 21% in species and 25% in number. On Namdae-cheon the species number and abundance decreased gradually upstream. The poor structure of fishways seems to have worked as an obstacle to the upstream migration of fishes in the Namdae-cheon . On Osib-cheon all the observed fish species except three-spined stickleback(Gasterosteus aculeatus aculeatus) which stay and spawn around downstream of fiver could migrate upstream. The good structure of fishways on this river is thought to have helped upstream fish migration.

어도 설계시 실무자의 입장에서 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 대부분의 수공구조물 설계인자가 기상학적 인자에서 도출되는 반면에 어도는 어류의 이동특성이나 유영능력 등 생태학적 인자에서 설계되어져야 하기 때문이다. 그러나 충분한 기초자료의 부족이나 설계자가 좋은 구조물을 지어야 한다는 사명감 부족 등으로 대부분의 어도가 기존 어도의 형태를 답습하는 형태로 건설되고 있다. 본 논문은 한강의 잠실수중보 어도설치계획을 근간으로 하여 어도를 설계하는데 필요한 세 가지 요소를 제안하였다. (1) 공간적 위치나 정열이 부적정한 어도의 수정할 점 (2) 어류의 이동특성이나 유영능력에 적합한 pool형 어도의 월류 수심을 3차원 수치모형계산을 통하여 제시 (3) 어도입구에 고기를 모일 수 있게 하는 유인수로의 필요성

하천의 횡단 수공구조물인 보 및 낙차공은 구조물 상 하류 생태계의 단절을 발생시켜 회귀성 어류 등 하천 생물의 생존을 위협하고 있다. 최근의 하천 설계는 자연형 하천조성사업과 같이 하천의 치수 및 이수뿐만 아니라 하천생태에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 또한, 하천의 생태적 통로가 단절되는 것을 막기 위해 하천 횡단 구조물인 보와 낙차공에 어도를 설치하고 있다. 어도의 설계는 어도 내의 수리학적 특성을 파악하여 그 기능을 충분히 수행할 수 있는지 여부를 분석하여야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제시되지 않았던 자연형 어도를 제안하고, 3차원 유체의 흐름성분을 해석할 수 있는 범용프로그램 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 수리학적 특성을 파악하였다. 또한, 어종별 돌진속도에 따른 자연형 어도의 기능적 활용여부를 제시하고자 한다.
