Abstract

Pre-monsoon dynamics of zooplankton community were investigated in Yongwol West River tributary; wetland shaped Korean Peninsula. Zooplankters were collected at three sites (stn 1: Yongwol West River, stn 2: Pyungchang River, stn 3: Jucheon River) monthly during the period between March and July 2014 except April. Totally 58 taxa of zooplankton occurred, consisting of 27 species of rotifer, 18 species of cladoceran, eight species of copepod, four kinds of aquatic insect larvae and one nematod. Lotic cladocerans of Alona spp. belonging to Chydoridae occurred frequently while typical lentic ones of Bosmina spp. and Daphnia spp. were not distributed, then sampling sites may be located in lotic waters. Zooplankton abundance recorded as $4,451-8,011indiv{\cdot}m^{-3}$ in Jucheon River but never exceeded $500indiv{\cdot}m^{-3}$ in other rivers. In Yongwol West River, dominant taxa were aquatic insect larvae from March through June and succeeded to cladocerans and copepods in July. Similar succession was observed in Jucheon River where aquatic insect larvae dominated in March and changed to cladocerans and copepods from May with high abundance. No such succession of zooplankton community was detected in Pyunchang River. Species diversity indices were the highest in Yongwol West River except in March. High values of dissolved oxygen ($9.0-11.0 mg{\cdot}liter^{-1}$) may show the characteristics of mountain streams. Water temperature increased gradually from $10.1^{\circ}C$ to $27.9^{\circ}C$ and pH varied within generally high range between 7.9-8.9, respectively. High value of pH seems to be derived from lime stone mines and cement factories around the studied area.

춘계 영월 한반도습지 주변 유수역의 동물플랑크톤 군집동태 연구를 위하여 2014년 3월부터 7월까지 3개 정점에서(정점 1: 영월 서강, 정점 2: 평창강, 정점 3: 주천강) 4회의 동물플랑크톤 시료를 채집하였다. 총 58종류의 동물플랑크톤이 출현하였으며 27종의 윤충류, 18종의 지각류, 8종류의 요각류, 4종류의 수서곤충 유생 및 한 종류의 선충류로 이루어져 있었다. Alona속의 종들과 같은 씨물벼룩과에 속하는 지각류가 다양하게 출현하였고 정수역 대표종들인 물벼룩과와 긴뿔물벼룩과의 지각류가 미출현한 것은 조사 수역의 유수성을 보여준다. 동물플랑크톤 출현량은 정점 3에서만 입방미터당 4,451~ 8,011개체로 높았고 나머지 정점들에서는 500개체를 넘지 않았다. 정점 1에서 3월부터 6월까지는 수서곤충의 유생이 우점하다가 7월에는 지각류와 요각류의 우점으로 천이가 이루어졌으며 유사한 천이가 정점 3에서도 관찰되었으나 정점 2에서는 이러한 천이가 없었다. 종다양성지수는 3월을 제외하면 정점 1에서 항상 높게 나타났다. 조사 기간 내내 높은 용존산소량은 ($9.0{\sim}11.0mg{\cdot}liter^{-1}$) 산간 계류의 특성을 보이는 것이며 수온은 3월에 $10.1^{\circ}C$에서 7월에 $27.9^{\circ}C$로 서서히 증가하였고 높은 pH는 (7.9~ 8.9) 조사 수역 주변의 석회석 광산과 시멘트 공장의 영향으로 추정된다.
