Abstract

The origin of particulate organic matter (POM) and food web structure were investigated in Shingu reservoir based on stable isotope analysis from pre-monsoon (July) to post-monsoon (September) 2007. According to the depth in Shingu reservoir, the $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ values of POM for pre-monsoon period were nonsignificant distinction, while it was significant variation after rainfall period. The ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of POM in premonsoon period ranged from -25.1‰ to -26.1‰ in whole water column, but the ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of POM in post-monsoon period showed relatively wide range between -23.2‰ and -27.5‰. The apparently lighter values (average -27.5‰) in near bottom water (7 m water depth) demonstrate that POM in high turbid water in post-monsoon period may be derived from the outside terrestrial plants (allochthonous) through heavy rainfall during the summer monsoon period. After rainfall period, $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ values of D. brachyurum showed -23.3‰ and 12.2‰, respectively, while B. longirostris showed -27.1% and 8.7%, respectively. It suggested that D. brachyurum mainly feed on POM in autochthonous organic matter pool, but B. longirostris mainly consumed POM in allochthonous organic matter pool after rainfall period. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios were markedly different among secondary consumers. The carp (C. carpio) and catfish (S. asotus) were in the higher trophic level and crucian carp (C. auratus) and mudfish (M. mizolepis) were in the lower trophic level. $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ values of Z. platypus didn't significantly changed between before and after rainfall period. But P. parva and C. auratus apparently changed the $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ values after rainfall period. It is suggested that P. parva and C. auratus seem to feed allochthonous food source while Z. platypus depend on autochthonous food source.

수심이 얕고 부영양화 특성이 강한 신구저수지에서는 강우시기에 집중 호우등으로 인하여 유입수로를 통하여 외부기원 유기물이 유입되는 경향이 있다. 이러한 외부기원 유기물은 환경변화(탁도, 수온약층, POC/PN), 입자성 유기물의 ${\delta}^{13}C$ 및 ${\delta}^{15}N$ 값으로 특성 지어진다. 동물플랑크톤의 경우, 강우기 이전에는 내부기원 유기물을 먹이원으로 하는 것으로 여겨지나 강우기 이후에는 내부기원 유기물 이외에 외부에서 유입된 외부기원 유기물을 섭식하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특히 B. longirostris이 다른 동물플랑크톤 (D. brachyurum, D. thmoasi)에 비하여 기원이 다른 입자성 유기물을 섭식하고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 변화는 상위섭식자인 어류의 먹이원 변화를 야기하며, Z. platupus은 내부기원 유기물 혹은 이를 먹이원으로 하는 하위 소비자를 섭식하지만, C. carpio와 P. parva은 강우기 이후에는 외부기원 유기물 혹은 이를 먹이원으로 하는 하위 소비자를 섭식하는 것으로 여겨진다. 수심이 얕고 유입 수로가 존재하는 농업용 저수지의 경우에는 강우 후 외부기원 유기물이 수생태계 에너지 흐름에 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 사료된다.
