我們細查台灣陽明山國家公園的淡水環境與魚類有關之文獻,為目的找出知識上的差距並確定今後的研究重點。目前在台灣陽明山國家公園中有24種魚類被證實,14種原生種和10種引進或侵入種。原生種動物群被發現有鯉科、鰍科及鰕虎科的魚。淡水環境被分為流動水,靜水和地熱水環境。流動水環境以相對小流域面積、短幹流及坡度急陡為特徵。靜水環境有各式各樣之形式、但通常有相對小表面面積及深度,而多為季節性的。地熱環境為魚類提供了很少的潛在棲息地。我們討論陽明山國家公園中魚類多樣性及分佈限制的因子,引入或入侵物種的潛在影響,以及推薦未來研究方向。
We reviewed the literature on fishes and freshwater environments in Yang Ming Shan National Park, Taiwan, in order to identify information gaps and set future research priorities. Twenty-four species of fishes have been documented in the park, 14 native and 10 introduced or invasive. The native fish fauna of the park is dominated by cyprinids, cobitids, and gobiids. Freshwater environments were classified as lotic, lentic, and geothermal. Lotic environments were characterized by small drainage areas, short main channel lengths, and high gradients. Lentic environments varied but were typically small in surface area and depth and often seasonal. Geothermal environments provided little potential habitat for fishes. The potential impacts of introduced or invasive species and factors limiting diversity and distribution of fishes in the park are discussed. Directions for future research on the fish fauna of the park are recommended.
