Abstract

To analyze between water quality and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates, we selected four reservoirs (Lake Sayeon, Lake Daeam, Seonam reservoir and Lake Hoeya) in Ulsan-si and studied them from February 2010 to October 2010. The annual mean BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) in the four lakes was $14.2mg\;L^{-1}$, and Seonam reservoir had the highest deviation in BOD. The maximum BOD for every lake was in February and their minimum in May, except for Lake Hoeya whose minimum was in July. The means of various nutrients were as follows: TN $0.051mg\;L^{-1}$, TP $0.100mg\;L^{-1}$, $NH_3-N\;0.606mg\;L^{-1}$, and $NO_3-N\;0.014mg\;L^{-1}$. The maximum TN was measured in June and the maximum and minimum TP were measured in March and in May respectively in the four lakes. Benthic macroinvertebrates were surveyed in April and October 2010. The number of benthic macroinvertebrates species was in the range of 16~36 and the average number of individuals were 58~208 inds. $m^{-2}$. Seonam reservoir, which has the highest mean TN ($0.082mg\;L^{-1}$) and $NO_3-N$($0.023mg\;L^{-1}$), had the largest number of species (36 species, 208 inds. $m^{-2}$). Pearson's correlation between the number of macro invertebrates species and TN was 0.962 (P<0.05), and between the species and $NO_3-N$ was 0.999 (P<0.05). These results show that the number of benthic macroinvertebrates species of the four lakes in Ulsan-si is significantly correlated with TN and $NO_3-N$.

2010년 2월부터 2010년 10월까지 울산 지역에 위치한 선암저수지, 대암호, 사연호, 회야호 4개 호소에 대하여 각 호소 내의 수질 및 저서성대형무척추동물상 조사를 수행하였다. BOD는 평균 $14.2\;mg\;L^{-1}$로, 4개 호소 중 선암저수지에서 연간 편차가 가장 컸으며, 회야호를 제외한 모든 호소에서 2월에 최대값, 5월에 최소값을 나타냈고, 회야호는 7월에 최소값을 나타냈다. 영양염 항목은 평균 TN $0.051mg\;L^{-1}$, TP $0.100mg\;L^{-1}$, $NH_3-N\;0.606mg\;L^{-1}$, $NO_3-N\;0.014mg\;L^{-1}$로, TN 항목은 4개 호소에서 6월에 최대값을 나타냈고, TP는 3월에 최대, 5월에 최소값을 나타냈다. 저서성대형무척추동물은 4월과 10월에 조사를 수행하였으며, 평균 TN 및 $NO_3-N$ 농도가 $0.082mg\;L^{-1}$, $0.023mg\;L^{-1}$로 가장 높았던 선암저수지에서 총 36종 평균 208 inds. $m^{-2}$로 가장 많은 종이 출현하였고, 대암호 21종 59 inds. $m^{-2}$, 회야호 17종 125 inds. $m^{-2}$, 사연호 16종 58 inds. $m^{-2}$가 출현하였다. 영양염 항목과 저서성대형 무척추동물 종수의 상관관계 분석 결과, 울산 지역 내 4개 호소에 서식하는 저서성대형무척추동물 종수는 해당 호소의 연평균 TN 농도와의 상관계수 0.962 (P<0.05), $NO_3-N$ 농도와의 상관계수 0.999 (P<0.05)로, 종수는 TN과 $NO_3-N$에 대해서 양의 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 조사되었다.
