Abstract

The introduction of exotic fish species may reduce the number of native fish species and disturb the aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, measures to block and manage fish species are required. Accordingly, a fish species blocking system using bubbles was developed in this study to block exotic fish species. An experimental channel was produced and the possibility of blocking such exotic fish species was evaluated. The bubble generator is a system that produces a bubble curtain by generating air with an air compressor that blocks fish species. Bluegill, which is an exotic fish species in the country, was tested with this generator. The size of bluegill was between 0.10 m and 0.15 m and the depth of water was maintained at 0.70 m. The flow velocity of the experiment channel was classified into 3 levels (0.20 m/s, 0.10 m/s, and 0.05 m/s) considering the natatorial ability of the fish species. The results revealed that 70.07% of bluegill showed movements to swim upstream before applying the bubble, but it is considered that the ascending rate would be higher given that the fish species thinks downstream is a habitat and showed almost no movement. However, when the blocking facility was installed, most fish species showed movements to return to the downstream again by the bubble curtain, indicating a very high blocking effect. In particular, when the generating bubble was terminated, the fish species swam back to the upstream area very soon, so the fish species blocking effect using the bubble was excellent.

외래어종의 유입은 토종어류의 감소 및 수중생태계의 교란을 가져올 수 있기 때문에 어류의 차단 및 관리 방안은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 외래어종의 유입을 차단하기 위해 버블을 이용한 어류 차단 시스템을 개발하였으며 실험수로를 제작하여 차단 가능성을 평가하였다. 버블 발생장치는 공기압축기로 공기를 발생시켜 버블커튼을 만든 후 어류를 차단하는 시스템이며 실험어류는 국내 외래어종인 파랑볼우럭을 대상으로 하였다. 파랑볼우럭의 크기는 0.10 m ~ 0.15 m이며 수심은 0.70 m를 유지하였다. 실험수로의 유속은 어류의 유영능력을 고려하여 3단계로(0.20 m/s, 0.10 m/s, 0.05 m/s) 나누어 실시하였다. 실험 결과 파랑볼우럭은 버블 적용 전 70.07%가 상류로 거슬러 올라가려는 움직임을 보였으며 하류를 서식처로 생각해 움직임이 거의 없는 개체를 고려하면 어류 소상률은 더 높을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 차단시설을 설치할 경우 대부분의 어류가 버블커튼에 의해 다시 하류로 회귀하는 움직임을 보여 차단효과가 매우 높게 나타났다. 특히 버블을 종료할 경우 빠른 시간 내 다시 상류로 거슬러 올라간 것으로 보아 버블을 이용한 어류 차단효과는 뛰어난 것으로 판단된다.
