Abstract

Species composition and seasonal variations in abundance of fishes in the Nakdong River estuary were investigated using an otter trawl seasonally from September 2001 to July 2002. These data were compared with those obtained before the construction of the estuary barrage in 1987. A total of 3,648 fishes that comprised 30 species in 21 families were collected. Acanthogobius flavimanus and Leiognathus nuchalis predominated, and they were responsible for $71.2\%\;and\;67.8\%$ in the number of individuals and biomass, respectively. The next abundant fish species were Platycephalus indicus and Liparis tanakai. Compared with data obtained before the construction of the estuary barrage in 1987, abundances of Acanthogobius flavimanus, Platycephajus indicus, Liparis tanakai, Tridentiger trigonocephalus and Lateolabrax japonicus increased, while those of Pholis fangi, Repomucenus valenciennei, Sardineila zunasi and Scomber japonicus decreased. These results seems to be related to change of sediment environment caused by irregular discharge of freshwater with variation of sea water movement in the Nakdong River estuary.

2001년 9월부터 2002년 7월 사이 낙동강 하구역에서 otter trawl을 이용하여 계절별로 어류를 채집하여 종조성 및 양적변동을 파악하고, 하구둑 건설이전 어류 조사와 비교하였다. 본 조사에서는 총 21과 30종의 어류가 채집되었으며, 문절망둑과 주둥치가 최우점종이었는데, 이들 어종이 전체 채집 개체수와 성체량의 $71.2\%$와 $67.8\%$를 차지하였다. 그 외 양태, 꼼치 등이 우점하였다. 채집종수는 봄과 가을에, 개체수 및 생체량은 봄과 여름에 높았으나, 겨울에는 모두 낮았다. 하구둑이 완공되기 직전에 실시된 어류 조사와 비교한 결과 어류 종조성의 변화가 뚜렷하였다. 과거의 우점종인 흰베도라치, 실양태, 밴댕이 및 고등어 등은 채집량이 크게 감소한 반명, 문절망둑, 양태, 꼼치, 두줄망둑 및 농어 등은 채집량이 크게 증가하였다. 하구둑 건설 이후 강 상류로부터 내려오는 담수의 유입이 수시로 차단됨에 따라 하구역에서의 해수 유동 변동이 초래되었으며, 그 결과 하구역에 각종 부유물이 축척되는 등의 저질 환경이 변화가 일어나 어류상에 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.
