Fishing trend and characteristics of Korean tuna purse seine fishery in the Pacific Ocean were investigated using logbook data compiled from captain onboard and the statistical data from 1980 to 2013. The historical catch of this fishery had sharply increased since mid–1980s, and it has shown fluctuations with about 2–3 hundred thousands, whereas the catch per number of vessel has steadily increased with fluctuations since commencing this fishery. As for the proportion of catch by set type, unassociated type had increased from the mid–1980s to the end of 1990s, and then has decreased up to 2010s. Associated type had decreased continually to the end of 1990s, however, it started to increase since the beginning of 2000s. As for the catch proportion of set type by main species, those of skipjack tuna and bigeye tuna showed higher in the associated type, whereas that of yellowfin tuna has the highest proportion in the unassociated type. Fishing distribution of Korean tuna purse seine fishery was concentrated on the area of 5°N~10°S and 140°E~180° through the decades. The monthly catch distribution by longitudinal zone of Korean tuna purse seine fishery expanded the most further to the eastward in September to October.

This paper conducted research on identifying the process of change in fishing gear and organizing the function of periodically-used fishing gear types through net plan and computer simulation by selecting the design of the four types of fishing gear used for the Korea tuna purse seiner in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, which 1,000 G/T class and whose length over all 60 m class. In the late 1980s, the length of the tuna purse gear was 1,939 m and the design depth was 160 m, but currently, the length and the design depth are 2,515 m and 230 m, respectively. As a result of the simulation, the expansion of the fishing gear increased buoyance, sinking force, sinking depth, surrounded area, and purse wire continuously. Recently, the maximum tension of the currently used purse wire of tuna purse seiner is 23.5 tons and is close to 25.4 tons which is the maximum lift capacity of WS454 winch. The way to improve fishing gear should be proceeded to increase sinking speed rather than expand the size of fishing gear.

The global warming related to GHG (greenhouse gases) emissions from industries is a major issue globally. Furthermore, GHG emissions from the fishery industries also represent an important issue, as indicated by "The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries" at the Cancun, Mexico, meeting in 1992 and by the Kyoto protocol in 2005. Korea pronounced itself to be a voluntary exclusion management country at the 16th IPCC at Cancun, Mexico, in 2010. However, few analyses of GHG emissions from Korean fisheries have been performed. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of GHG emissions from the major Korean fisheries is needed before guidelines for reducing GHG emissions from the fishing industry can be established. The aim of this study was to assess the present GHG emissions from the Korean Purse seine fishery using the LCA (life cycle assessment) method. The system boundary and allocation method were defined for the LCA analysis. The fuel consumption factor of the purse seine fishery was also calculated. The GHG emissions for the edible fish were evaluated by determining the weights of whole fish and gutted fish. Finally, the GHG emissions required to produce 1kg of whole fish and 1kg of edible fish were deduced. The results will help determine the GHG emissions from the fishery. They will also be helpful to stakeholders and the government in understanding the circumstances involved in GHG emissions from the fishing industry.

Korean large purse seine fishery catches chub mackerel, sardine, jack mackerel, Spanish mackerel, etc. which are mainly pelagic fish species. The proportion of chub mackerel was 60% over in Korean large purse seine fishery. Sea surface temperature (SST) increased 0.0253℃ per year and total rising rate was 0.759℃ from 1980 to 2009 in the southern sea of Korea, where is mainly fishing grounds of Korean large purse seine. It was that p〈0.01 level was statistically significant. It is northward movement that the center of fishing grounds of chub mackerel by Korean large purse seine fishery moved 4.57km/yr. It was rapidly northward movement about 7.1km/yr, 8.13km/yr to move Spanish mackerel and bluefin tuna fishing grounds. However, the fishing grounds of jack mackerel were moved further south in the 2000s than the 1980s. Catch of tunas and bluefin tuna consistently increased in Korean waters. There was a significantly positive correlation between SST and catch of bluefin tuna in the fishing grounds of Korean waters.

A preliminary study on species composition of a Korean purse seine catch landed at cannery was conducted in April 2011. In the cannery, all tuna catch are sliding through a sorting grid panel that filters and drops fish in the buckets by size class (above 9kg, 3.4-9kg, 1.8-3.4kg, 1.4-1.8kg and below 1.4kg). In cannery processing, species sorting was made for skipjack tuna and yellowfin tuna only from catches greater than 3.4kg during filtering but not for bigeye tuna because of difficulties in species identification between bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna under frozen state. As no species identification was carried out for catch groups less than 3.4kg in the cannery process, this study focused on sorting out skipjack tuna and yellowfin tuna from these groups and then identifying bigeye tuna from all size groups of yellowfin tuna. Using the mixture rate of species obtained from the samples taken, species composition of the landed catch was estimated. As results, cannery research showed 95% for skipjack tuna, 3% for yellowfin tuna and 2% for bigeye tuna in species composition, while vessel logbook data represented 96%, 3% and 1% for skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna, respectively. The proportion of bigeye tuna identified in the cannery was slightly higher than shown in logbook data by 1%.

Changes in ecosystem risks were evaluated using the ecosystem-based fisheries assessment (EBFA) approach of Zhang et al. (2009, 2010) and the comprehensive ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) plan was made for the southern sea of Korea in this study. The risk assessment of the southern sea ecosystem was conducted by establishing ecosystem management objectives and by estimating risk scores (RS) for indicators. To conduct this analysis a number of indicators and their reference points for assessing these risk scores were developed in this study. The number of indicators in the risk analysis was 28 for the quantitative tier 1 analysis and 30 for the qualitative tier 2 analysis. The objective risk index (ORI), species risk index (SRI) and fisheries risk index (FRI) were calculated from the risk scores. Comparing the past (1988) and the current (2008) status of fisheries resources, management implications were discussed. The fishery risk index (FRI) of large purse seine fishery in the southern sea of Korea decreased substantially from 0.972 in 1988 to 0.883 in 2008, and improvement in the management of fisheries operated in the southern sea of Korea.

In order to offer data about fisheries resources management and prediction of catch on large purse seine fisheries, the fluctuation of the fisheries condition and distributions of fishing ground for mackerel were analysed with monthly catch data for 1990.2009. The overall catch has decreased to about 70% since 1997, with approximately 70% of the mackerel (Scomber japonicus) catch and monthly fluctuations showing a similar pattern. Monthly distribution of fishing ground is like distribution of mackerel in large purse seine fishery. The main fishing grounds are near Jeju Island and the Yellow sea with the main fishing season existing between October to December. The catches fluctuations and distribution of fishing ground were related to the effect of regime shifts. Therefore, in order to prediction of catch on large purse seine fisheries should be studied these relationships.

This fundamental studies on for the productivity improvement and laborsaving of purse seine fishery. Given the difficulty posed from the distortion of net shape caused by the external forces, such as tide, at the time of shooting and pursing, we set the 4 steps of 0, 2, 4 and 6cm/sec in flow velocity in the flume tank for the experiment in order to examine those characteristics. We used two model seines designed on the scale of 1 to 180 based on the power block seine, which is the mackerel purse seine generally used in the near sea of Jeju Island and triplex seine, which is the mackerel purse seine of one boat system fishing expected in the future, for the experiment, and interpreted the characteristics of several motion in water, such as the shape of seine, the change in tension and area during pursing and its the analysis results are as follows. Though the experiment could be conducted up to 6cm/sec of flow velocity that was defined, the experiment could not go on because of the severe distortion in the seine at the flow velocity in excess of 6cm/sec. As for the depth of leadline and reduction rate of side area of seine when the pursing is connected, P seine turned out to be slightly higher than T seine, and the hauling speed and reduction rate of upper area of seine were found similar to each other. The correlation between the hauling time (Ht) and depth of lead line (Dhp, Dht) of P seine and T seine can be expressed by the equation, that is, Dhp=(0.99Pt-7.63)Pt+69.01, Dht=(1.03Pt-7.73)Pt+66.74. The correlation between the hauling time and hauling velocity (Hpp, Hpt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, Hpp=-0.06Ht2+0.88Ht+0.78, Hpt=-0.05Ht2+0.81Ht+0.98 here, Pt is pursing time. And the correlation between the pursing time and the reduction rate of side area (sArp, sArt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, sArp=-0.48Pt2+14.79Pt-16.74, sArt=-0.45Pt2+14.56Pt-16.48. The reduction rate of upper area of seine (tArp, tArt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, tArp=0.34Pt2-0.66Pt-0.74, tArt=0.34Pt2-0.27Pt-1.80. In addition, the correlation between the pursing time and tension of purse line (Tep, Tet) can be expressed by the equation, that is, Tep=2.79Pt2+2.26Pt-0.60, Tet=2.14Pt2+8.08Pt-27.50.

It is the basic studies for productivity improvement and laborsaving of purse seine fishery. Because the seine shape is apt to be transformed in seine shooting process due to the effect of tide, this study is intended to establish 4 steps, whose flow velocity are 0, 2, 4 and 6cm/sec, in flume tank and perform the experiment to review the character. We used two model seines designed on the scale of 1 to 180 based on the power block seine, which is the mackerel purse seine generally used in the near sea of Jeju Island and triplex seine, which is the mackerel purse seine of one boat system fishing expected in the future, for the experiment, analyzed of the sinking movements on the two seines and its results are as follows. In the setting over the flow velocity 6cm/sec, experiment was impossible because of flying and transformation of seine were severe. The sinking movements of P seine and T seine generally showed linear phenomenon and the sinking speed showed gentle curve shape. Sinking tendency was distinguished by existence of flow velocity. When there is flow velocity, it showed the phenomenon that it sinking by similar type. Although sinking depth and sinking speed did not show distinguished classification, P seine shows bigger than T seine. When there was in flow velocity, the elapsed time(Et) and sinking depth (PDp, TDp) of P seine and T seine can be shown such experimental equations as PDp=(0.21V+4.96)Et-(0.62V-0.10) and TDp=(0.19V+4.95)Et-(0.72V+0.34). When there was in flow velocity, the elapsed time and siking speed (PSp, TSp) of P seine and T seine can be shown such experimental equations as PSp=-0.11Et2+1.42Et+1.75 and TSp=-0.11Et2+1.41Et+1.37.

This paper summarizes characteristics of the Korean tuna purse seine fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). Major fishing area for the Korean tuna purse seine fleet consisted of the waters of Micronesia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands and adjacent high seas between 130˚E-180˚ The center of the Korean tuna fishing ground was in the vicinity of 180˚ during the El - Niño event but was formed in 150˚-160˚E during the La - Niño event. As compared with other major purse seine fleets in WCPO, the Korean fleet set more on unassociated schools of tuna, while Japan, USA and Chinese - Taipei fleets accounted for more than 50% of sets on log - associated schools. In general, CPUES for log - associated schools were higher than those for unassociated schools and catch composition showed that yellowfin ratio was higher in unassociated shools than log - associated schools. Length frequency represented higher percentage of mid - sized yellowfin than Japanese and USA fleets. Daily set numbers and CPUE were high before 7 am and remained almost constant from 7 am to 3 pm but decreased rapidly after 3 pm and 5 pm, respectively. Catch composition per set indicated that pure skipjack school was caught most frequently, followed by mixed school and pure yellowfin school as the least, but CPUE was highest for the mixed school.

본 연구는 현용 전어 선망 어구.어법에 대한 실태조사에서 파악된 문제점과 조업시 어구의 수중 형상 및 어구에 대한 어군의 행동을 조사.분석한 전보의 결과를 바탕으로 어구 개발에 대한 방향을 설정한 후 고려되는 몇 가지 형태의 어구를 제시하고 이들 어구에 대한 모형 실험을 실시하였는데, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 현용 어구와 현용 어구의 75% 규모로 축소 (뜸줄 길이 기준)한 어구에 짐줄을 채택하였을 경우, 짐줄이 완전히 체결되기도 전에 발줄이 수면으로 부상하거나 수심 2∼3m 에서 짐줄이 체결되어 현용 어구구조에는 짐줄을 사용하는 것은 오히려 어획 성능을 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 뜸줄과 발줄의 길이는 현용 어구의 60% 규모로 하고 그물의 양쪽 옆 부위를 최소 전개 깊이인 20m로 고정한 채 중앙부로 갈수록 깊이를 점차 증대시킨 어구 중 중앙부 깊이가 50m인 어구는 짐줄이 수심 20∼23m 이상에서 체결되고, 중앙부 깊이가 40m 와 30m인 어구는 체결 수심이 7∼15m 사이로 나타나 모든 어구에서 어군을 차단하는데 충분한 깊이를 보이지만 조업 어장의 수심과 조류 등을 고려하였을 경우 현장에 적용하기에는 중앙부 깊이가 40m 와 30m인 어구가 더 유리하다고 판단된다.

선망어업의 생산성 향상에 관한 기초 연구로서 제주도 주변 해역어장(33˚37.8' N, 126˚31.1' E)에서 단선조업이 가능하도록 건조된 시험 조업선인 제주대학교 해양과학대학 실습선 아라호(990톤)를 사용하여 투망과 양망 등의 실험을 실시했다. 실험에 사용한 선망은 뜸줄의 길 829.1m, 발줄의 길이 995.7m이다. 초소형 메모리 계측기와 망심계, 장력계를 사용하여 그물 아랫자락의 수심과 선망의 장력을 측정하였으며, 측정한 자료를 이용하여 투망과 양망할 때의 그물어구의 운동특성과 장력특성을 해석하였는데, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 단선식 조업방법에 의해 실시한 시험조업에서 선망의 투망과 양망이 가능했다. 2. 선망을 투망할 때 그물 아랫자락의 침강수심(Dp)과 경과시간(Et)의 관계는 값의 설정범위에서 다음과 같은 실험식으로 나타낼 수 있다.

본 연구는 유체역학적 해석을 이용하여 선망 어구 운동을 동적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 선망 어구는 조업 과정 중에 어구의 형상이 크게 바뀌는 특성이 있고, 모든 조업단계에서 어구요소가 3차 시스템이며 대부분 망지라는 유연한 물체에 의해 구성되어 있어 외력에 대해 그 형상이 비선형적으로 변하므로 모델링이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 질량-스프링 모델을 이용하여 수학적으로 기술하였다. 선망의 조업 과정중 그물의 투망, 침강, 죔줄을 죄는 과정의 어구운동을 시뮬레이션하였다.

연안 어장에서 어획하는데 적합한 어구 구조 및 규모를 도출하기 위한 기초 연구로써 현용 전어 선망 어구의 침강 속도와 조업 과정별 수중 형상 변화 및 어구에 대한 어군의 행동 특성 등을 실제 조업 어장에서 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 1. 그물의 침강 속도는 투망 시작부인 어포부에서 평균 13cm/sec, 중앙부인 170m부분과 280m 부분은 각각 9.0cm/sec와 9.5cm/sec, 투망 종료부에서 4.9cm/sec로 투망이 진행됨에 따라 점차 느려지다가 종료부에서 현저히 감소하였다. 2. 어구 하단부인 발줄은 투망 직후부터 인양되는 시점까지 대부분 해저에 닿게되고, 탈출방지장치로 사용중인 목봉이 발줄을 유지하는 수심은 평균 2.7m 이내로 현장에서 어민들이 의도하는 것보다 실제 깊이는 훨씬 낮았다. 3. 전어 어군은 표층보다 저층에서 훨씬 농밀한 군집 형태를 보이고 대부분의 시간을 해저에서 머물다 조류가 약해지면 표층으로 부상하는 연직 운동을 반복하였으며, 조류의 흐름이 빠른 사리 때에 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 4. 그물에 갇힌 전어 어군은 투망 후 곧바로 침하하였다가 다시 상승하는 수직 행동을 반복하였으며, 그물 벽을 돌기 시작하는 어군과 일정한 유영 패턴 없이 포위권내를 직선적으로 움직이는 어군으로 구분되었고, 그물 벽을 타고 도는 어군은 쉽게 그물감에 갇히는 경향이었다. 5. 어군의 탈출은 수심에 따라 차이를 보이는데, 수심이 낮은 어장에서는 표층에서 해저까지 그물이 어군을 차단하게 되므로 어구의 양 끝단 쪽에서만 탈출하고, 수심이 20m 이상 되는 해역에서는 그물의 침강 속도보다 침하하는 어군의 속도가 빠르기 때문에 그물에 조우한 어군은 어구의 하단부를 통과하여 탈출하는 경우가 번번하였다. 6. 어구의 양 섶 개구부에서 어군은 탈출 방지 장치인 목봉을 설치한 후에도 목봉의 하방으로 계속 탈출하여 목봉의 역할이 미비한 것으로 보아졌다.×10-6kg/m3〈/TEX〉이었다. 3. 1999년도 대비 2000년도의 단위체적당의 어밀도는 트롤정점별에 대한 상호비교에서 개체수 및 중량에 대하여 2000년도가 1999년도보다 증가되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 우점종 13종에 대한 비교에서도 같은 경향을 나타내었다 작게 나타났다. 7. 저항계수는 펄에서는 체인형 발줄이 약 10.0~55.7, 와이어형은 약 3.0~l6.0, 기본형은 약 1.5~8.5이며, 모래에서는 체인형 발줄이 약 10.0~60.0, 와이어형은 약 3.0~l4.0, 기본형은 약 1.2~6.0이었다. 그리고, 전체적으로 절과 모래 모두에서 저항계수가 체인형이 다른 두 종류의 발줄에 비해 상대적으로 가장 크고, 와이어형, 기본형의 순으로 작게 나타났다.한 인자로 제시 되었다. 따라서 채식을 하는 폐경 후 여성의 경우 골격건강을 위하여 단백질의 급원이 되는 식품의 섭취에 더욱 관심이 필요한 것으로 보여 진다. 그러나 본 연구의 경우 대상자의 수가 적은 제한점이 있기 때문에 보다 많은 연구가 계속적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.reas(RW-2 and RW-3), lower part of the dam (RW-1) and seawater areas(RW-4 and RW-5).하는 비율이 가장 높았다. 에너지 섭취를 고려한 INQ는 칼슘과, 비타민 A는 남녀 모두, 비타민 B2는 여자가 1이하로 나타났다. 또한 NAR 중에서도 낮은 영양소는 비타민 A (남 0.52, 여 0.42 (p〈0.05), 칼슘 (남 0.68, 여 0.54 (p〈0.001)), 비타민 B2(남 0.77, 여 0.67 (p〈0.01))이었다.

Specificity of catches has been analyzed to japanese tuna purse seine A principle component analysis was used to improve the efficiency of fishing and increase sustainable production and productivity of Korean tuna purse seine.The result are as follows;From the principal component analysis of the fish catches, the first principal component(Z1) to promote principal component score was skipjack Kastsuwonus Pelamis, LINNAEUS and yellowfin tuna Thunnus Albacares, BONNATERRE (Small : smaller than 10kg) and proportion was 86.8% of total. The second principal component(Z2) to increase principal component score was yellowfin tuna (Large : larger than 10kg) and proportion was 9.5%.On the other hand, fish operating that have caught skipjack and yellowfin tuna (Small and Larger) was not so much. Fish catches for one species raised volume of the catches while catches for multi-species decreased it since principal composition score for one species and both species together has been increased.Fish school could be divided into three groups of schools each of which was associated with drift objects, payaho and ship, school associated with shark, whale and porpoise and school of breezing, feeding and jumping from proportion of principal component analysis for fish catches of school types. However, the biological pattern is different among school associated with ship, payaho and school associated with drift objects for analysis eigen vector. School associated with ship, payaho and school associated with drifting object associated is judged as school which be assembled to vessel and drifted log temporary.

It was investigated that the condition of fishing ground gave what kind of effect school type in relation to the property for the target school after the vertical temperature profile and school type were observed when tuna purse seiner for tuna purse seine was operated in the western pacific Ocean around the equator between December 12, 1993 and January 26, 1994. The results are as follows;1. This study divided fish schools associated with drift objects, a one targeted-operation, and the pelagic migrating fish schools that are another one for the property. The total of 23 operations were complected including 6 that targeted fish schools associated with drift objects and 17 that targeted pelagic migrating fish schools. It was known that the main operation was conducted on pelagic migrating fish school.2. Average and standard deviation of the depth of the surface mixing layer was 86.0m and 13.8m for fish schools associated with drift objects. 61.6m and 13.0m for pelagic migrating fish schools, respectively. The average depth of the surface mixing layer of the pelagic migrating fish schools was lower when compared to the fish schools associated with drift objects however the concentration of standard deviation was higher than those fish schools associated with drifted objects. Accordingly, it was assumed that the effect of vertical temperature profile for pelagic migrating fish school was higher than the fish schools associated with drift objects.
