Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the phytoplankton-zooplankton trophic linkage in Lake Paldang ecosystems (Paldang Dam and Kyungan Stream) from April to December 2005. Zooplankton were filtered as two size groups (microzooplankton (MICZ): 60{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$, macrozooplankton (MACZ): >$200\;{\mu}m$), and their clearance rates and C-fluxes on phytoplankton were measured. Grazing experiments were performed in the laboratory with the different zooplankton densities (0, 2, 4, 8x of ambient density, n=2). Diatoms, such as Aulacoseira and Cyclotella were dominant phytoplankton taxa at both sites. Among phytoplankton communities, total carbon biomass of phyflagellates was much higher than others at both sites. Rotifers numerically dominated zooplankton community, while cladocerans dominated carbon biomass. Both phytoplankton and zooplankton density and biomass were high in spring, but decreased markedly after summer monsoon season. plankton biomass at Kyungan Stream was significantly higher than that of Paldang Dam. Zooplankton clearance rate and amount of C-flux were relatively high in the spring and then decreased after summer at both sites. Seasonal change of C-flux was similar to that of zooplankton biomass (P<0.001, n=7). MACZ clearance rate and C-flux were higher than those of MICZ. Water residence time and physical disturbance in summer appeared to affect zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton at the study sites. Our results indicate phytoplankton were an important energy source for zooplankton in Lake Paldang ecosystem. Furthermore, C-flux of plankton food web is affected by not only biological components but also physical parameters.

2005년 4월부터 12월까지 팔당호 생태계에서 식물플랑크톤 동물플랑크톤 간의 영양적 관계를 파악하기 위하여 플랑크톤 구조 분석과 섭식실험을 실시하였다. 동물플랑크톤은 소형 (MICZ: 60{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$)과 대형동물플랑크톤 (MACZ: >$200\;{\mu}m$)으로 구분하며 각기 식물플랑크톤에 대한 여과율과 탄소전달율을 측정하였다. 섭식실험은 현장 동물플랑크톤의 0, 2, 4, 8배로 농도 차이를 두어 2회 반복 실험을 실시하였다. 두 지점에서 식물플랑크톤 군집은 규조류 (Aulacoseira, Cyclotella )가 수적으로 우점하였으나, 탄소생물량은 편모조류 (Cryptomonas ovata)가 높았다. 두 지점 모두 동물플랑크톤 군집 내에서 윤충류 (Brachionus, Keratella, Polyathra)가 수적으로 크게 우점하였으나, 탄소생물량은 지각류 (Daphnia)가 가장 높았다. 동물플랑크톤은 봄에 높은 밀도와 탄소생물량을 보였고 여름철 집중강우 시기를 기점으로 크게 감소하였다. 지점별로는 경안천에서 상대적으로 높은 탄소생물량이 나타났다. 동물플랑크톤 여과율과 탄소전달율은 두 지점 모두 봄 동안에 높았으나 여름 이후에 낮아졌으며, 탄소전달율의 변화는 동물플랑크톤 생물량의 변화와 유사하게 나타났다. 군집여과율과 식물플랑크톤에 대한 탄소전달율은 MACZ가 MICZ보다 높았고, 그 정도는 경안천에서 더 높게 나타났다. 여름철의 집중강우로 인한 짧은 체류시간과 수체의 교란이 동물플랑크톤의 섭식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다.
