Sea experiment for this study was carried out to develop a Trawl Escapement Net(TEN) using net material to improve the survival rate of undersized fishes that escaped from trawls in the Korean southern sea in May and November, 2005. Three kinds of Trawl Escapement Net(TEN) were examined to increase the escapement rate for fishes escaped from the TEN, and total catches in the codend and cover-net were investigated. The main catch species in the experimental fishing trials using a V shape TEN(A type) in May were Korean pomfret(Pampus echinogaster), slimy(Leiognathus nuchalis), gizzard shad(Konosirus punctatus), white croaker(Pennahia argentata) and smelt(Sillago sihama). In the experimental fishing trials using a V shape TEN with a protector for undersized fishes(B type) and a panel shape TEN with a protector(C type) in November, the main catch species were horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus), sea pike (Sphyraena japonica), large-head hairtail(Trichiurus lepturus), kammal thryssa(Thryssa kammalensis), white croaker(Pennahia argentata), butterfish(Psenopsis anomala) and red gurnard(Lepidotrigla microptera). Most of large-sized fish species like Korean pomfret and Spanish mackerel could not escape through the TEN in the B type and C type. Catches of horse mackerel were highest in the experimental fishing of November and escapement rates for most fish species including horse mackerel were higher in the C type compared with B type.

This study was aimed not only to develop the gill net and trap made of biodegradable monofilaments in order to prevent a ghost fishing and to protect marine ecosystem, but also to analyze their spinning process and physical properties. Results showed that the spinning speed of biodegradable polybutylene succinate(PBS) monofilament was estimated to be approximately 100m/min when spinning temperature and cooling water temperature were adjusted at 180℃ and 3℃, respectively. The breaking loads of PBS monofilaments were estimated to be 35.3kg/mm2 at Φ0.2mm, 46.5kg/mm2 at Φ0.3mm, and 49.7kg/mm2 at Φ0.4mm in the dry condition, respectively. However, its breaking loads in the wet condition were reduced by 2.4-5.5%, compared to those in the dry condition. The knotted strength of PBS monofilament at Φ0.2mm was estimated to be 98.6% of PE in the dry condition. The breaking load of PBS monofilament at Φ0.3mm was evaluated to be 81.8% of PA, and its softness showed 3 times less than that of PA in the wet condition. The breaking load of PBS monofilament at Φ0.4mm was 95.3% of PA, and its softness showed 1.6 times less than that of PA in the wet state. However, the load elastic elongations of two kinds of monofilaments were estimated to be 1% higher than that of PA.

The sciaenid species, which has swimbladder, generates sounds by vibrating in its length wards when spawning or getting stimulus from something else. This research analyzed on sound frequency characteristics relatives to their swimbladder length of three sciaenid species, yellow croaker(Larimichthys polyactis), brown croaker(Miichthys miiuy), and white flower croaker(Nibea albiflora). As results, the dominant frequency for yellow croaker ranged over 38.08 to 141.60Hz in wide frequency band, and the averaged pulse duration expressed in 280.3±156.0ms. For brown croaker, the dominant frequency ranged in 49.80 to 59.57Hz, and the averaged pulse duration was 129.1±36.9ms. Moreover, the dominant frequency of white flower croaker ranged in 73.24 to 86.91Hz, and the averaged pulse duration was 88.0±15.9ms, it has shorter pulse duration than any two species. Therefore, the dominant frequency relatives to swimbladder length of sciaenidae showed that it had widely resonant characteristics and long pulse duration as in shorter swimbladder length. Additionally, for white flower croaker, we could confirm their behavior and sounds in response to production of recorded sounds using underwater speaker.

The investigation for the species composition and catch in the deep East Sea was carried out with commercial trawlers from 2004 to 2006. The catches were 6,043kg and were composed of 43 species with 34 hauls between 250m and 1,030m in depth. The principal species caught were Allolepis hollandi, red crab (Chionoecetes japonicus), Careproctus rastrinus, Argis lar, Chionoecetes opilio, Malacocottus gibber, Petroschmidtia toyamensis, Pandalus eous Makarov, and Dasycottus setiger. The rate of discarded catches in situ was about 50%. The diversity indexes of 2005 and 2006 were 1.152 and 0.878, respectively, and the evenness indexes at those years were 0.752 and 0.583, respectively, which implied one dominant species caught in 2006.

This paper introduces an auto-feeding system to exactly control the feeding time and the amount to cultured fishes in aquaculture industrial field. To reduce expensive costs or labors in this field, it was designed by the concept of controlling feed quantity exactly on the basis of fish's feeding behavior pattern in water tank. A feed control method of this system was developed for controlling feed amount by rotor capacity and motor rotated number. Moreover, a scattering section was selected by rotate way of propeller wing to scatter dried feed to designated site, and then, the diameter of its wing was 250mm and maximum scattering distance was 7.6m for 600rpm. Furthermore, the scattering ways were embodied 2 types such as a simplified way and a multistage shift way looks like a manual scattering. As a results, the multistage shift way is more effective to discharge the dried feed widely than the simple way in the water tank.

The aim of this study was to develope a fishing technology for fisheries management for improving the survival rate of young fishes escaped from trawl net. Sea experiments were carried out to investigate the survival rate of the fishes in off Geomun island and Korean southern sea. Cover-net fish cage was designed and manufactured to collect fishes escaped from COD(codend) and TED(trawl escapement device). Fish cage was installed in a shallow site where scuba diver can observe the surviving fishes after separating the cage from trawl net. Most of fishes except horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) and mackerel(Scomber japonicus) could escaped through TED(bar space 35mm) easier than COD(mesh size 54mm). Especially, escapement rate of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) escaped from TED was the highest as 73.9%. Survival rate of horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) escaped from TED was 85.5% at the point of 96 hours over, while the survival rate for COD showed a rapid decrease according to the time elapse as 85.0% at the point of 24 hours, 76.4% for 48 hours, 62.7% for 72 hours and 56.1% for 96 hours. Over 90% of red seabream(Pagrus major) and rock bream(Oplegnathus fasciatus) escaped from TED were survived 96 hours over and the survival rate of those fishes were excellent compared with the other fish species. All korean pomfret(Pampus echinogaster) escaped from both COD and TED were died within 48 hours. Most of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) were also died within 12 hours because of the weak physiological characteristics by water pressure change. Survival rate of fishes like as horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) having hard skin was high while it was low for the fishes like as squid(Todarodes pacificus) and hair-tail(Trichiurus lepturus) having soft skin. We could know that there were big differences in the survival rate offish species escaped from trawl net.

The aim of this study was to develop a trawl escapement device which can improve the survival rate of young fishes passed through trawl codend. The sea experiments according to the bar space of the device and bar materials were carried out to decide the bar space and device materials in Korean southern sea and off Cheju island. Stainless pipes and MC bars were used to test the efficiency of escapement device materials. Although escapement rates of MC bar for main species were a little higher compare with stainless pipe, the efficiency of device for stainless pipe was better than MC bar. Escapement devices of sort-K type and grid panel type were also compared. Escapement rates of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis), blackthroat seaperch(Doederleinia berycoides) and finespotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus) showed 61.7%, 2.0% and 2.7% on the sort-x type and 69.9%, 1.1% and 2.0% for the grid panel type but the difference was little. Fishes under 20mm head width and fishes which swimming speed is so slow compared with body length could not go through well the device. Escapement rates according to the bar space were estimated using grid panel type. The rates of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) for the bar space of 20mm, 25mm, 35mm were increased as 60.3%, 61.0% and 77.8%, and 9.8%, 16.4% and 45.6% for horse mackere1(Trachurus japonicus), respectively.

외줄낚시에 대한 대문어의 조획기구를 알아내고, 낚시를 개량하기 위하여 수조에서 외줄낚시어구에 대한 대문어의 행동패턴을 비디오카메라로 관찰 조사하였다. 대문어는 돌진하거나 천천히 유영하며 미끼를 잡았다. 돌진할 때에는 두개의 팔로 미끼를 잡은 후 약간 뒤로 물러서서 정지하였고, 천천히 접근 할 때는 한 개의 팔로 미끼를 잡은 후 그 자리에 정지하여 섭이하는 행동을 보였다. 조획은 약간 뒤로 물러서서 섭이할 때보다 그 자리에 정지할 때가 많았다. 평균 체중 1kg의 대문어가 정어리, 대문어, 돼지비계 등을 전량 섭이하는데 소요되는 시간은 각각 1~30분 , 10~50분 , 50분~1시간 이상으로서 미끼의 육질이 질길수록 대문어가 미끼를 섭이하는데 장시간 소요되었다. 조획성능에서는 낚시의 채가 긴 A형낚시보다 채가 짧은 B형낚시가 양호하였으나 어체로부터 낚시를 탈락시키는 데는 B형낚시보다 A형낚시가 용이하였다.

끌그물로부터 탈출한 소형어류의 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있는 자원관리형 어구어법을 개발하기 위한 기초 조사로서, 트롤망에서 양망 후 투기되는 어류의 생존율을 조사하기 위한 시험조업이 한국 남해안 및 제주도 근해에서 이루어졌다. 트롤망의 끝자루를 탈출한 소형어류를 선내에 비치된 사육수조에 수용하여 시간대별로 생존지속 시간을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 트롤 어구로부터 어획된 어류를 선상에 비치된 사육수조에 넣어 생존율을 조사한 결과 살오징어, 한치, 갈치, 달고기, 삼치, 참조기 및 눈볼대등 대부분의 어종은 양망후 즉시 사망하였다. 2 두툽상어, 붕장, 가오리, 말쥐치, 부채새우 등은 수조내에서 장시간 생존하였으므로 이들 어종은 투기된 후에 생존할 확률이 높을 것으로 생각된다. 3. 탈출장치를 빠져나온 등가시치는 수조에 수용된지 6 시간 이내에 전부 사망하였으나,97% 의 두툽상어와 72% 의 붕장어는 72시간 이상 생존하였다. 4. 끝자루를 빠져나온 가오리는 수조에 수용된지 60시간 이내에 모두 사망하였으나, 25% 의 말쥐치와 문어는 72시간 이상 생존하였다. 5. 홍감팽의 경우 탈출장치와 끝자루를 빠져나온 개체간의 생존율을 비교해보면, 끝자루를 빠져나온 홍감팽은 72 시간 이내에 전부 사망하였으나, 탈출장치를 빠져나온 것의 8.3%는 72시간 이상 생존하는 것을 보여줌으로서, 탈출장치를 빠져나온 개체의 생존율이 다소 높은 것을 보여주었다. 6. 그러나 부채새우의 경우를 비교해 보면, 끝자루를 탈출한 새우의 생존율이 75%로서 탈출장치를 빠져나온 부채새우의 생존율 33% 보다 훨씬 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 탈출후의 어종별 생존 특성에 대해서 보다 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 본다.구면적은 유속이 증가함에 따라 지수함수적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 망구면적의 감소율은 기준형보다 무부자망이 더 작게 나타났다. 여과량은 유속이 증가함에 따라 로그함수적인 경향을 보였으며 기준형이 3.0knot 이상에서 급격히 감소하였지만, 무부자망은 4.0knot까지 증가하였다가 완만하게 감소하였다. 5. dL의 최대적정길이는 망구면적 및 여과량이 최대인 30m일 때이며, 추의 최적위치는 4개의 그물목줄이 연결되는 지점이었다.times〈/TEX〉101 CFU/mL로 감소되었으며, 48시간 배양하였을 때에는 생육이 완전히 억제되었다. 그리고 1.24×105 CFU/mL 수준의 Sta. aureus를 접종한 경우 24시간 배양 후 아주 미약한 생존 균수의 감소를 보였으나 48시간 배양시 4.00×102∼8.50×102 CFU/mL 수준으로 감소하였고, Sal. enteritidis를 1.81×105 CFU/mL 수준으로 접종한 경우 24시간 배양 후부터 전연 증식을 나타내지 않았다. 이와 같이 오미자 물 추출액 첨가에 의해 drink yoghurt 내에서 식중독 유발균들의 증균 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.할 수 있었다.4.9% (1.39×104 cfu/mL)분포하고 있는 것으로 동정되었다.bamboo weir, the eddy out of the left wing was co

It is well known that fish hear a wide frequency range of sound using both laterial line and inner ear, and the sound is probably the most effective channel for long-range communication underwater than any other stimulus.The auditory threshold of svenband grouper, Epinephelus septem fasciatus was determined by conditioning method using a sound coupled with electric shock in a tank. The audio-signals and electric shock used in the experiment were pure tones of 100 to 1000Hz and DC 6n.The response of fish to the sound was observed by ECG intervals from precordial leads method (V1·V2 method). The auditory threshold curve for sevenband grouper was V-shaped, with most sensitive threshold at 350Hz in the range of 100~1000Hz. The Sevenband grouper were more sensitive to sounds of 200~400Hz than to adjacent frequencies.

In full-speed cruising, the airborne sound pressure levels are measured from 11 small fishing boats operated around Cheju Island. In these measurement, 9 measuring positions are selected in each fishing boats. The results of measurements and analyses are as follows: 1. The sound pressure levels in FRP boats are higher than those in wooden boats. 2. The highest sound pressure level is 112dB(A) at the engine room in C boat, while the lowest one is 72dB(A) at the front deck in K boat. 3. The highest sound pressure level is shown to be in the frequency band less than 500Hz. 4. The highest sound pressure level is shown to be in the frequency band less than 500Hz. 5. Through all 9 positions, the sound pressure levels are higher in B and C boat and lower in E and K boats.
