Abstract

In this study, the potential effects of increased water temperature on fish habitat were analysed in the streams of Nakdong River watershed. The changes in suitable habitats for each fish species and in species number at a habitat site were predicted, based on the maximum thermal tolerances of 22 fish species. The estimated maximum thermal tolerance ranged between $27.7^{\circ}C$ and $33.1^{\circ}C$. Then, the increase of water temperature in 78-sites of Nakdong River watershed by 2100 was predicted by using the estimated air temperature data by 2100 in the literature and the regression analysis between air-temperature and water-temperature at each sites. The water temperature was estimated to have increased by $0.69^{\circ}C$, $1.76^{\circ}C$, and $2.32^{\circ}C$ in 2011~2040 (period S1), 2041~2070 (S2), and 2071~2100 (S3), respectively. With such increases in water temperature, the averaged suitable habitats for all 22 fish species would be influenced by 21.9%, 36.3%, and 51.4% in periods S1, S2, and S3, respectively.

본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 수온상승이 낙동강 유역 어류 서식지에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강유역에 서식하는 어종 중 22개 어종에 대한 최대내성한계온도를 산출하였으며, 이를 토대로 수온 상승에 따른 어류 서식지 및 서식지 지점별 어종 영향 정도를 분석하였다. 산정된 최대내성한계온도의 범위는 $27.7\sim33.1^{\circ}C$의 범위를 나타났다. 또한 기존에 예측된 기온 상승 데이터를 이용하여, 낙동강 78개 지점에서의 2100년도까지의 수온 상승을 예측하였으며, 수온 상승 예측을 위하여 낙동강 유역 78개 각 지점에서의 기온-수온의 회귀식을 산정하였다. 그 결과 S1 기간(2011~2040년)에 평균 $0.69^{\circ}C$, S2기간(2041~2070년)에는 평균 $1.76^{\circ}C$, S3기간(2071~2100년)에는 평균 $2.32^{\circ}C$의 수온이 상승되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 수온상승에 따라 낙동강 22개 어종에 대해 S1-S3 각 기간별로 평균 21.9%, 36.3%, 51.4%의 서식처가 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
