Abstract

Seasonal variation in species composition and abundance of demersal fish in Yongil Bay were determined by analyzing samples collected using an otter trawl from January to October 1991. Of 59 species identified, Repomucenus lunatus, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, Repomucenus heguenini, Ammodytes personatus and Sillago japonica were dominated in abundance. Number of spiecies and biomass were low in winter and high in spring and summer. Species composition did not show spatial variation but showed seasonal variation. Number of spicies, abundance in number of individuals ($630 inds./10^3\;m^2$) and in biomass ($13,131g/10^3\;m^2$), and species diversity (2.00-2.54) of fish in Yongil Bay were higher than those of the coastal waters in the Yellow Sea or in the South Sea of Korea.

1991년 1월에서 10월 사이 영일만 3개 정점에서 otter trawl을 이용하여 계절별로 어류를 채집하여, 계절에 따른 종조성 변화를 분석하였다. 총 59종의 어류가 채집되었으며, 돛양태 (Repomucenus lunatus), 두줄망둑 (Tridentiger trigonocephalus), 춤양태 (Repomucenus huguenini), 까나리 (Ammodytes personatus), 청보리멸 (Sillago japonica)가 개체수에서 우점하였다. 출현종수와 채집량은 겨울에는 적었고, 봄과 여름에 많았으며, 종조성은 정점 간의 차이는 적었고 계절에 따라 변하였다 영일만 저어류의 출현종수, 평균 개체수 ($630 inds./10^3\;m^2$) 및 평균 생물량 ($13,131g/10^3\;m^2$)이 서해나 남해 내만에 비하여 높았고, 종다양성지수도 2.00-2.54로 높았다.
