Abstract

Habitat preferences of benthic macroinvertebrates were studied according to the different substrate composition. Although it was hard to determine the common dwellers in the habitats with cobbles and pebbles, some taxa such as Ephemera orientalis, Davidius lunatus, Tipula KUb, Isonychica japonica and Tabanus amaenus etc. occurred preferably in the habitats with gravel/sand. In all the sampling stations, the numbers of species collected in the habitats with gravel/sand were always remarkably smaller as compared with the habitats with cobbles and pebbles.

본 연구는 북한강 수계에 연계되어 있는 사기막천 및 조종천의 4개 지점을 대상으로 저서 대형 무척추동물을 1년간(1993) 하상별로 채집, 분류하였으며, 이들 저서 대형무척추동물의 출현빈도율 및 종내의 상대 빈도율에 따른 각 분류군의 하상 선호도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 채집된 대부분의 대형 무척추동물들은 cobble과 pebble 하상 선호성을 보였으며, Ephemera orientalis, Davidius lunatus, Tipula KUb, Isonychica japonica and Tabanus amaenus등은 gravel/sand 하상 선호성임을 확인할 수 있었다. 일면, 본 연구를 통하여 cobble과 pebble 하상에서 채집된 대형 무척추동물군의 종수는 gravel/sand 하상에서 채집된 종 수에 비해 현저히 많음을 알 수 있었다.
