Abstract

For four times, zooplankton collection were conducted seasonally in October 2015-July 2016 at five sites located in the wet lands of the lower Han River, ie., Si-am, Sung-dong, Gong-reung stream, San-nam and Jang-hang. A total of 46 species of zooplankton were collected, which comprise 25 species of rotifers, seven cladocerans, ten copepods, and one species of nematod, ostracod and decapod, respectively. No brackish and marine species were distributed except for two species of brackish water copepods. Prosperity in the species number of 15 species was observed in October at Sung-dong and Jang-hang. The maximum abundance was recorded in March at Si-am with $8,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$ with the explosion of Brachionus calyciflorus. Other sites also showed high abundances in March with the abundance higher than $5,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$. Except in March, the abundance levels were recorded as less than some hundred $indiv.\;L^{-1}$ throughout the study. Species diversity varied between 0.4-1.8. The gut contents of the copepodite showed that various diatoms might be their major food items, and lots of unidentified materials were also observed. The environmental conditions of water temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen content showed to vary $10.1-28.2^{\circ}C$, 7.1-8.6 and $4.5-11.0mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively.

2015년 10월부터 2016년 7월까지 가을, 겨울, 봄, 여름의 계절별로 한강 하구의 시암, 성동, 공릉천, 산남, 장항습지 등 5개 습지에서 동물플랑크톤 채집을 실시하였다. 25종의 윤충류를 포함하는 총 46종류의 동물플랑크톤이 출현하였다. 기수종은 요각류 2종만이 출현하였고 10월에 성동과 장항습지에 출현한 15종류가 가장 다양하게 출현한 것이었다. 최대 출현량은 3월에 시암습지에서 윤충류의 대량 출현에 의해 $8,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$로 기록되었다. 3월에는 다른 정점에서도 $5,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 높은 출현량이 나타났지만 나머지 기간 중에서 수백 개체의 낮은 밀도가 지속되었다. 종다양성지수는 0.4~1.8 사이에서 변동하였다. 요각류 유생의 장내용물질 분석 결과 미동정물질들과 함께 규조류가 주먹이원인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 수온은 $10.1{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$, pH는 7.1~8.6 용존산소량은 $4.5{\sim}11.0mg\;L^{-1}$ 사이에서 변동하여 정점에 따라 하계 수온상승에 의한 용존산소량 부족 가능성이 제기되었다.
