Abstract

Ecological characteristics of Cobitis pacifica inhabited in the Yeongok Stream, Gangwon-do, Korea was investigated from May 2006 to August 2007. The major habitat was composed of sand bottom with current velocities of $0.23{\sim}0.56m\;sec^{-1}$ and depths of $20{\sim}50cm$. The sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 0.93. It was presumed that the spawning season was the period of water temperatures of $25{\sim}27^{\circ}C$. Sexually matured individuals appeared over the two years of age. Frequency analysis of body length indicated that the group with $40{\sim}59mm$ in body length was one-year-old, the group of $60{\sim}89mm$ was two-years-old, the group of $90{\sim}109mm$ was three-years-old, and the group of over 110 mm was four-years-old. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was estimated as 809 per matured female. Main prey items were Ephemeroptera and Diptera.

북방종개(Cobitis pacifica)의 생태적 특성을 연구하기 위해 2006년 5월부터 2007년 8월까지 연곡천 하류에서 조사하였다. 본 종은 하천 하류역과 중 하류수역 여울에 걸쳐 분포하며 하상구조는 주로 모래로 이루어져 있었다. 서식지 수심은 $20{\sim}50cm$ 유속은 $0.23{\sim}0.56m\;sec^{-1}$ 상태를 유지하고 있었다. 성비는 1 : 0.93이었고 산란시기는 $6{\sim}8$월이며 산란기 수온은 $25{\sim}27^{\circ}C$이었다. 만 2년생 이상부터 성적 성숙이 이루어지기 시작하였다. 체장이 $40{\sim}59mm$의 집단은 만 1년생, $60{\sim}89mm$의 집단은 만 2년생, $90{\sim}109mm$의 집단은 만 3년생, 110 mm 이상은 만 4년생으로 추정된다. 포란수는 평균 809개이었다. 먹이생물은 하루살이목(Ephemeroptera)와 파리목(Diptera)이 생체량의 대부분을 차지하였다.
