Abstract

Fish fauna and lentic ecosystem health assessment in freshwater were analyzed in the two reservoirs (Uirim Reservoir(Ur) and Solbangjuk Reservoir(Sr)) of the Jecheon City during May-September 2017. Total numbers of the species and genus (7 family) sampled were 21 and 16, respectively. Cyprinidae was most dominant taxa, which accounted for 11 species (52.4%) of the total species, and the relative abundance, based on the number of individuals, was 318 individuals (46.2%). Subdominant families were taxa of Centrachidae (2 species; 264 ind. (38.4%). The dominant species, based on the relative abundance, were Squalidus chankaensistsuchigae(22.7%). Subdominant species were Lepomis macrochirus(19.5%, 134 ind.) and Micropterus salmoides(18.9%, 134 ind.). Trophic state index of Korea ($TSI_{KO}$), based on chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a (CHL),ranged mesotrophic state. The purpose of this study was to apply a multi-metric model of Lentic Ecosystem Health Assessments (LEHA) for environmental impact assessments of two reservoirs and assessed the ecological health model values. Trophic composition's metrics showed that tolerant species (56.8%, 98.3%) and omnivore species (43.9%, 65.6%) dominated the fish fauna in the two reservoirs (Ur and Sr) of Jecheon City, indicating a biological degradation in the aquatic ecosystem. The relative proportions of Micropterus salmoides, also showed greater than 16.3% (Ur), 31.1% (Sr) of the total, indicating a ecological disturbance. The average value of LEHA model was 22 (Ur) and 12 (Sr) in the reservoirs, indicating a "poor condition (Ur)" and "very poor condition (Sr)" by the criteria of MOE (2014).

2017년 5월부터 9월까지 제천시에 위치한 2개의 저수지인 의림지(Ur)와 솔방죽(Sr)을 대상으로 어류상 조사 및 호수생태건강성평가를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 어류는 7과 16속 21종이 출현하였다. 그 중 잉어과 어류가 11종(52.4%), 318개체(46.2%)가 출현하여 우점하는 것으로 나타났고, 검정우럭과(2종, 264개체, 38.4%)가 아우점하는 것으로 나타났다. 전체 출현종 중 참몰개(RA 22.7%, 156개체)가 우점종으로 나타났으며, 아우점종은 파랑볼우럭(19.5%, 134개체), 큰입배스(18.9%, 130개체)로 외래종이 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 화학적산소요구량(COD), 총인(TP)과 엽록소-a(CHL)를 이용한 부영양화지수($TSI_{KO}$) 분석결과, 두 저수지는 중영양상태를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 두 저수지의 수환경영향평가를 위해 LEHA(Lentic Ecosystem Health Assessment) 다변수 모델을 적용하였고, 생태 건강도 모델 값을 산정하였다. 생태건강성평가 결과, 내성종이 각각 56.8%(Ur), 98.3%(Sr)로 나타났으며, 잡식종이 43.9%(Ur), 65.6%(Sr)로 나타나 섭식구조의 단순화로 인하여 내성종과 잡식종의 우점현상을 보였으며, 특히 큰입배스의 상대풍부도가 16.3%(Ur), 31.1%(Sr)로 나타나 생태계가 교란되어 생태건강성이 크게 악화된 것으로 나타났다. 상기 LEHA 다변수 모델을 이용한 의림지(Ur)와 솔방죽(Sr)의 생태건강성 지수 값은 각각 22(의림지), 12(솔방죽)으로서 환경부(2014)의 등급에 의거하였을 때 "악화상태(의림지)", "최악상태(솔방죽)"인 것으로 평가되었다.
