Outline of Research at the Start

サケ(Oncorhynchus keta)やカラフトマス(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)は、水産業と流域生態系の双方にとって重要な魚種である。堰堤などの河川横断構造物により、これらの産卵遡上が阻害されると、水産資源への悪影響や、遡上個体を捕食する生物のエサ資源の減少など、さまざまな問題が発生する。本研究では、対象種の移動特性と魚道内の水理を複合的に検討し、対象魚の産卵遡上に有効な魚道構造を明らかにする。さらに、従来の固定式の魚道ではなく、容易に着脱できる可搬式の魚道を開発することで、必要に応じて速やかに遡上阻害地点(落差約1mの堰堤)に適用できる安価な魚道システムを提案する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we proposed a portable fishway system that is effective for the spawning migration of Oncorhynchus keta and Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, and can be installed on-site as necessary. The proposed fishway can be constructed in an extremely short time, approximately 30 minutes, by connecting fishway units that are transportable by human power. In field experiments, the upstream migration of target fish using the proposed fishway was observed at a weir approximately 1 meter in height during each migration season. Environmental DNA analysis confirmed the presence of target fish upstream of the fishway, and site surveys verified the existence of spawning beds. In laboratory experiments, we clarified the characteristics of water depth and flow velocity in the migration paths and resting areas within the fishway units used by the target fish in the field.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

サケ・マス類が利用可能な可搬魚道構造について検討された事例は少なく,本研究にて開発した魚道を対象魚が遡上した際の魚道内水深・流速特性を解明できたことは,対象魚に関する保全技術の発展に寄与すると考えられる.また本研究で開発した低コストな可搬魚道システムは,専門知識・技術を持たない市民でも使用することができるため,対象魚の自然産卵促進のための環境保全活動において,河川管理者と市民との連携を可能にするツールとしての活用が期待される.
