The role and distribution of fresh water algae was surveyed at Wangdeungjae Wetland of Mt. Jiri, a high mountain swampy land. Mean environmental factors were as follows; temperature was 17.6 ℃, pH was 6.3, conductivity was 24.6 (S/㎝, TN was 0.6 ㎎/L, TP was 0.09 ㎎/L, and Chl-a was 11.9 ㎍/L, respectively. Algae were appeared 159 species(Chlorophyta 87, Bacillariophyta 56, Euglenophyta 11, and Cyanophyta 5). Desmid of Chlorophyta was 56 species, and dominant species was Aulacoseira distans of Bacillariophyta. To analyze food chain of the water ecosystem, we performed analysis of tadpole's stomach captured in the wetland. Tadpoles ingested mainly algae, and Aulacoseira distans was found in most quantity. Based on this study, algae take role of the primary producer as well as the prey of higher level predators(e.g. tadpoles) in the water ecosystem of Wangdeungjae Wetland.

고산습지인 지리산 왕등재습지에서 담수조류의 분포와 역할을 조사하였다 환경요인 평균 : . ( )은 수온 17.6℃, pH 6.3, 전기전도도 24.6 μS/㎝, 총질소 0.6 ㎎/L, 총인 0.09 ㎎/L 그리고 Chl-a는 11.9 ㎍/L였다. 담수조류는 총 159종이 출현하였으며 녹조강 87종, 규조강 56종, 유글레나강 11종 그리고 남조강이 5종이었다. 이 중에서 녹조강의 물먼지말(desmid)이 56종으로 가장 많았고, 우점종은 규조강의 Aulacoseira distans이었다. 왕등재습지의 먹이사슬 분석을 위해 올챙이의 채식물을 분석한 결과 주로 담수조류를 섭식하였으며, 수중 우점조류인 Aulacoseira distans가 최대로 존재하였다. 왕등재습지의 수중생태계에서 담수조류는 1차 생산자이자 상위 포식자의 먹이원으로서의 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.
