Abstract

This study identified the habitat use pattern and migration distance of spot-billed ducks during winter that occur for breed and wintering. The study was carried out using GPS-mobile phone based Telemetry (WT-300) to provide the research results as basic data for protection and management of the habitats of water birds in Korea. The tracking devices (WT-300) were attached to a total of twenty spot-billed ducks collected from the rivers and reservoirs in Gyeonggi-do Anseongcheon, Chungcheongnam-do Seocheongun, Jeollabuk-do Mangyunggang, Dongjingang, and Jeollanam-do Haenamgun. It was found that spot-billed ducks used rivers most frequently as their habitats (47.3%), followed by rice fields, ocean, inland wetlands, and tidal flats. While spot-billed ducks used rice fields at night time and ocean, inland wetlands, and tidal flatss at day time, they used rivers regardless of time. Change rate of habitat use pattern was highest between 6:00am and 8:00am and between 16:00pm and 18:00pm. The average daily migration distance was $0.75{\pm}0.27km$/2hours and accumulated migration distance was 8.95km. Spot-billed ducks covered the longest migration distance between 6:00am and 8:00am and between 16:00pm and 18:00pm; the distance they moved during the periods from 6:00am to 8:00am and from 16:00pm to 18:00pm was 2km but during the rest of the time, it was less than 1km for equivalent durations. The time when spot-billed ducks covered the longest migration distance also corresponds to the time when they showed the greatest change rate of habitat use pattern.

본 연구에서는 야생동물위치추적기(WT-300)을 이용하여 국내에 월동 번식하는 흰뺨검둥오리의 하루 동안 서식지 이용과 이동거리를 파악하여, 우리나라 수조류 서식지 보호 관리의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 대상지역은 경기도 안성천, 충청남도 봉선저수지, 전라북도 만경강, 동진강, 전라남도 해남군 등 5개 하천과 저수지로 흰뺨검둥오리 20개체에 위치추적기를 부착하였다. 흰뺨검둥오리는 월동기에 내륙수를 47.3%의 비중으로 가장 많이 이용하였으며, 다음으로 논, 해양수, 내륙습지, 연안습지 등이었다. 내륙수는 시간에 관계없이 꾸준히 이용하였다. 논은 야간에 주로 이용하였고, 내륙습지, 연안습지, 해양수의 경우 주간에 주로 이용하였다. 서식지 이용률 변화는 16시와 18시, 06시와 08시에 가장 컸다. 전체 평균 이동거리는 $0.75{\pm}0.27km$/2hours이었으며, 누적 이동거리는 8.95km이었다. 06시에서 08시, 16시에서 18시에 이동한 거리는 2km이상으로 가장 길었다. 그 외 시간에는 1km미만의 이동거리를 보였다. 장거리를 이동한 시간은 서식지 이용률의 변화 폭이 가장 큰 시간과 일치하였다.
