Abstract

A seasonal variation of phytoplankton community in the middle-lower part of the Nakdong River was studied in four sampling stations at monthly intervals from January to December 2012. We identified 40 genera 72 species of phytoplankton. Among these, diatoms were 36 species (50.0%), green algae 20 species (27.8%), blue-green algae 9 species (12.5%) and others 7 species (9.7%), respectively. The phytoplankton standing crops were recorded a maximum of 29,640 cells/mL at the Mulgeum (St. 4) in June and a minimum of 236 cells/mL at the Goryung (St. 1) in October. Also, Standing crops were increased with proceeding from middle part to lower part. Ecological important species were Stephanodiscus hantzschii, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra acus, Aulacoseira granulata, Pediastrum sp. and Microcystis aeruginosa. Seasonal succession of phytoplankton represented that Stephanodiscus hantzschii was dominant species in winter, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra acus was dominant species in spring, Microcystis aeruginosa, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Fragilaria crotonensis, Synedra acus, Aulacoseria granulata was dominant species in summer, and Aulacoseria granulata, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Fragilaria crotonensis was dominant species in autumn. In the community analysis, diversity index and dominant index were higher May~July and December~February, respectively. Also, diversity index and dominant index were decreased and increased with proceeding from middle part to lower part.

2012년 1월부터 12월까지 낙동강 중 하류지역의 식물플랑크톤 군집구조를 조사하였다. 식물플랑크톤 군집은 40속 72종으로 규조류 36종(50.0%), 녹조류 20종(27.8%), 남조류 9종(12.5%) 및 기타 7종(9.7%)이었고, 출현종 수의 구성비율에서 규조류 50%, 녹조류가 28%로 나타나 규조류와 녹조류에 의한 의존도가 매우 높았다. 식물플랑크톤의 현존량은 6월에 물금(St. 4)에서 29,640 cells/mL로 가장 높았고, 10월에 고령에서 236 cells/mL로 가장 낮았다. 동절기와 하절기에 다른 계절에 비해 높은 현존량을 나타내었으며, 하류로 갈수록 현존량이 증가하였다. 생태학적 주요종은 규조류인 Stephanodiscus hantzschii, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra acus, Aulacoseira granulata와 녹조류인 Pediastrum sp. 및 남조류인 Microcystis aeruginosa였고, 겨울철에는 Stephanodiscus hantzschii, 여름철에는 Microcystis aeruginosa가 우점종으로 나타났다. 종의 계절적 천이는 겨울에 Stephanodiscus hantzchii, 봄에 Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra acus, 여름에 Microcystis aeruginosa, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Fragilaria crotonensis, Synedra acus, Aulacoseria granulata, 가을에 Aulacoseria granulata, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Fragilaria crotonensis의 순으로 천이양상을 보였다. 종다양성 지수와 우점도 지수는 5월~7월 및 12월~2월에 다른 시기에 비해 비교적 높게 나타났다. 또한, 하류로 갈수록 종다양성 지수는 대체로 감소하였고, 반면 우점도 지수는 증가하였다.
