Abstract

We investigate predation rates of larvae and juveniles of Rana catesbeiana by using six native predatory fishes and six birds to select effective species to ecological control and management of R. catesbeiana that is invasive alien species and affects seriously wetland in Korea. Among freshwater fishes, Pseudobagrus fulvidraco, Silurus asotus and Channa argus ate larvae and juveniles of R. catesbeiana, and prefer the former, however Opsariichthys uncirostris, Monopterus albus and Anguilla japonica didn't eat at all. Six experimental water birds, Cygnus columbianus, Cygnus cygnus, Anas crecca, Aix galericulata, Anas penelope and Anas formosa nerver ate them. We were able to confirm control of R. catesbeiana probability using the native predatory fishes in Korea wetland.

습지생태계에 심각한 영향을 미치는 침입외래종 황소개구리(Rana catesbeiana)의 생태적 제어를 목적으로 효과적인 생물종을 선발하기 위하여 6종의 토종 포식성 어류와 6종의 조류를 이용하여 황소개구리의 올챙이와 아성체를 대상으로 포식률을 측정하였다. 본 실험에 사용한 어류 중 동자개(Pseudobagrus fulvidraco), 메기(Silurus asotus), 가물치(Channa argus) 3종은 황소개구리의 올챙이와 아성체를 모두 포식하였고, 그 중 전자를 더 선호하였다. 그러나 끄리(Opsariichthys uncirostris), 드렁허리(Monopterus albus), 뱀장어(Anguilla japonica) 3종은 황소개구리의 올챙이와 아성체를 전혀 섭식하지 않았다. 그리고 고니(Cygnus columbianus), 큰고니(Cygnus cygnus), 쇠오리(Anas crecca), 원앙(Aix galericulata), 홍머리오리(Anas penelope), 가창오리(Anas formosa) 등 실험에 사용한 6종의 조류 또한 황소개구리의 올챙이와 아성체를 전혀 먹지 않았다. 결과적으로, 국내 습지생태계에서 토종 물고기를 이용한 침입외래종 황소개구리의 제어가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
