Abstract

After oil outlow accident of Hebei spirit in December 7, 2007, the motality of manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum in the west coast of South Korea, was significantly increased from 9.2% in April, 2007 to 22.4% in April 2008. Although the mortality was about 10% in the tidal flat of Geunso Bay and Cheonsu Bay, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, the values was significantly high about 30% in water coast of Taean, Boryeong and Seosan in where the spilled oil was getting into fishery zone. However, the mortality in water coast of Taean, Boryeong and Seosan was decreased from 22.4% in 2008 to 6.0% in 2009. Also, we found that the mortality in contaminated and non-contaminated water zones was both slightly increased from 6.0 in 2009 to 8.6% in 2010, Therefore, these results are indicating that the significant high mortality observed in water coast of Taean, Boryeong and Seosan at April, 2008 was due to the crude oil accident outflow from tanks of Hebei spirit. Although the mortality of manila clam was significantly decreased in middle west coast of South Korea after the accident of Hebei spirit in December, 2007, the annual production of manila clam in South Korea was sustainedly from 27,459 ton in 2007, 36,302 ton in 2008, 40,392 ton in 2009, to 36,248 ton in 2010. In the production of manila clam by regional groups, the amount in sea coast of Chungnam, where was damaged by crude oil, was significantly decreased from 10,598 ton in 2007 to 5,048 ton in 2008, but then was significantly increased to 7,065 ton in 2009, and to 12,921 ton in 2010. However, in sea coast of Jeonnam that was not damaged by crude oil, the amount was significantly increased from 1,252 ton in 2007 to 12,248 ton in 2008, but then was significantly decreased to 9,566 ton in 2009, and to 2,770 ton in 2010. Therefore the results are suggesting that a increasing of the total annual production of manila clam in South Korea in 2008 when was 1 year after the oil accident of Hebei spirit was due to increasing of clam production in a coast of Jeonnam in where was not damaged by crude oil.

2007년 12월 7일 Hebei spirie호 유류유출 후 2008년 4월에 발생한 서해안의 바지락 평균 폐사율은 22.4%로 사고 이전인 2007년 4월의 9.2%에 비하여 급격히 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 유류가 유입된 태안 및 보령, 서산 지역에서는 30% 내외로 폐사율이 매우 높게 나타난 반면, 비오염지역인 인천, 경기도를 비롯하여 지형적인 조건과 방제작업 등으로 유류유입이 적었던 근소만과 천수만 내측 등에서는 10% 내외로 낮게 나타났다. 2009년 폐사율은 6.0%로 2008년의 22.4%에 비해 급격히 감소하였다. 2009년은 2008년과 비교하여 폭풍 등 해황이 불안정하여 저질변동이 많았으나, Hebei sprit호 유류유출로 인한 피해지역인 태안과 보령, 서산 지역에서는 폐사율이 낮아진 반면, 비 피해지역인 인천과 경기에서는 비슷하거나 높게 나타났다. 2010년 폐사율은 8.6%로 2009년의 6.0%에 비해 약간 증가하였는데, 오염지역과 비오염지역을 구분하지 않고 모두 증가하였다. 따라서 유류가 유입된 태안 및 보령, 서산지역의 2008년 4월에 발생한 바지락 폐사는 Hebei spirit호 유류유출과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 우리나라 바지락의 전체 생산량은 유류사고 전인 2007년에는 27,459 톤이 사고 직후에 폐사가 발생하였음에도 불구하고 2008년에 36,302 톤, 2009년에 40,392 톤, 2010년에는 36,248 톤으로 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 생산량을 지역별로 살펴보면 유류피해 지역인 충남의 바지락 생산량은 유류사고 전인 2007년에는 10,598 톤이던 것이 사고 직후인 2008년에 5,048 톤으로 급격히 감소하였으며, 2009년에는 7,065 톤, 2010년에는 유류피해 전보다 많은 12,921 톤으로 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 비피해지역인 전남의 바지락 생산량은 유류사고 전인 2007년에는 1,252 톤이던 것이 사고 직후인 2008년에는 12,248 톤으로 급격히 증가하였으며, 2009년 9,566 톤, 2010년 2,770 톤으로 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 전체 바지락 생산량에서 2008년에 우리나라 생산량이 감소하지 않고 증가한 이유는 유류피해가 없던 전남지역에서 물속에 서식하던 바지락이 대량으로 생산되었기 때문이다.
