The choice behavior of the octopus in response to the environment-friendly colored sinker for octopus driftline and the sinker's fishing effect were studied under experimental conditions in the water tank and the field. The colors of the sinkers used for the experiment are white, black, yellow and green. Artificial baits are attached to the sinkers in order to attract the octopuses in the experiment. In the water tank experiment, two sinkers of two different colors are placed in a compartmentalized corner of the rectangular tank, and a CCD camera records the choice behaviors of the octopuses to the colored sinkers. In the field experiment, the catch investigation of octopus for each colored sinker was conducted 14 times in total by using 2(A, B) commercial fishing boats at the coast of Gangneung within 30m of depth in 2006. The number of colored sinkers per operation was a total of 24-40 pieces with the same number of sinkers individually for four colors. As a result, it was found that the octopus selected white the most followed by black and yellow in their choice of colored sinkers in the water tank experiment, and green was the lowest in their choice. Even in the field experiment, the sinkers of white and black showed a higher catch of octopus than the sinkers of yellow and green.

For environment-friendly fishery, the lead sinkers of octopus drift line were developed with the environmentfriendly sinker, and their characteristics and performance were investigated. To make the environmentfriendly sinker, the hydrate ceramic material was developed, and to increase the weight and strength, the iron power was added to it. The fishing hook was machine-made, and standardized, by using 60cm iron wire. For the manufacture of the sinker, the first, the mold was made, and then, hydrate ceramic material and water were quantitatively mixed. The mixture was poured into the mold prepared with a fishing hook already inserted, and had hardened for several hour, before it was taken out of the mold as a complete sinker. The sinkers were made in the 8 types ranging in weight from 150 to 500g, and their specific gravities were diverse from 2.871 to 6.637, which was 0.19 to 0.44 times lower than that of lead. The movement of the environment-friendly sinker by flume tank was possible in the weaker current speed than the similar lead sinker. In the coastal fishing grounds of Gangwon province, the comparison of catching efficiency was made between the improved fishing gears composed of the environment-friendly sinkers and artificial baits, and the current used fishing gears of lead sinkers and pig-fat baits. The result showed the tendency in which the improved fishing gears caught the bigger octopuses than the current used fishing gears. In the quantity and number of the fish catch per unit fishing gear, the improved fishing gear showed a little more catch than the current used fishing gear, regardless of the fishing area. However, the number of the improved fishing gears lost during fishing operation was similar to that of the current used fishing gears.

본 연구는 현용 정치망에서 나타나는 급조시의 심한 망형상과, 그물의 파망 및 유실에 의한 조업부진 등의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 일본의 근해어장용 양식 가두리시설에서 사용한 부가중량추의 이용방법을 도입하여 국내 정치망으로의 적용할 가능성을 검토하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 운동장이 흐름의 조상측인 경우, 부가중량추의 무게가 1.3~5.2gf으로 증가할 때 장력은 기준형보다 약 10~25% 증가하였다. 부착위치에 따라서는 A-type과 B-type은 기준형과 비슷하였고, C-type과 D-type은 기준형보다 약 10~15% 증가하였다. 2. 부가중량추의 무게가 1.3~5.2gf으로 증가할 때 운동장 섶장의 기울기 변화량은 약 0~70˚, 비탈그물의 섶장은 약 0~64˚, 조하측인 제 2원통의 섶장은 약 0~46˚까지였고, 유속이 0.0~0.6m/s로 증가할 때 제1원통고 제2원통 까래의 깊이는 정조시 보다 약 50% 감소하였다. 3. 부가중량추의 부착위치에 따른 운동장 섶장의 깊이는 A-type은 기준형보다 약 25%, B-type은 약 10% 감소하였고, C-type은 기준형과 비슷하고, D-type은 약 15% 증가하였다. 비탈그물의 까래의 깊이는 A-type이 가장 깊었고, 다음으로 B-type, C-type, D-type 순이었다. 제2원통 까래의 깊이는 4종류의 실험망이 기준형 보다 약 10~15% 증가하였다. 유속이 0.0~0.6m/s로 증가할 때 비탈그물의 섶장의 기울기 변화량은 약 0~63˚, 제2원통 섶장의 기울기 변화량은 약 0~44˚이었다. 4. 부가중량추의 적정 무게는 약 2.6~3.6gf이었고, 적정 부착위치는 부가중량추와 연결부분인 그물자락사이 연결줄의 길이가 약 300mm인 C-type과 연결줄 없이 직접 부착한 D-type이었다.

그물의 SN2S값이 서로 다른 2가지의 상자 구조의 우리형 그물을 1/10로 축소한 모형에 대해 실물 그물의 면적 1m2당 각각 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 및 0.7kg에 상당하는 침자를 그물의 각 모서리에 1개씩 총 4개를 부착하여 회류 수조에서 유속의 변화에 대한 그물의 변형을 측정하고, 이를 통해 조류에 의한 우리형 그물의 형상 유지에 효과적인 침자의 적정량에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유속이 증가함에 따라 그물이 날림으로써 그것의 용적은 급격히 감소하였으나, 변형 각도 의 변화량은 증가하였다. 2. 그물의 SN2S값은 유속이 0.4m/s이하일 때는 그물의 변형에 약간의 영향을 끼쳤지만 유속이 0.5m/s 이상일 때는 별다른 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 3. 그물의 변형은 유속, 침자의 무게 및 SN2S값에 의해 결정되었다. 4. 그물의 용적을 50% 이상으로 유지하기 위한 침자의 총무게는 유속이 0.3~0.6 m/s일 때 31~245kg이고, 침자의 적정량은 그물의 면적 1m2당 0.5kg 정도로 나타났다.

Lead leached out from the metal lead-sinker attached to fishing nets or contained in ropes are likely to cause the environmental contamination, consequently, resulting in ecotoxicity. However, it is very difficult to find out the data on the disposal reality of fishing nets, lead-containing form of/in fishing net and its content. In previous studies, we presented the containing form of lead and the lead concentration leached out by the containing forms. As a result, the leaching concentration of lead was the highest under the supposition condition of lead-sinker deposited on sandy tidal flat. In this study, as a subsequent study, we investigated long-term leaching characteristics from lead-sinker deposited on sandy tidal flat. We used a serial batch leaching experiment to investigate the long-term leaching characteristics, and the experimental conditions were as follows; solid to liquid ratio 1:20, shaking time 24 hours (repetition of 7 times), room temperature, and shaking rate 170 rpm. As a result, lead leaching concentration after shaking for 24 hours was 0.215 mg/L, showing the highest leaching concentration, and then the leaching concentrations between 2-7 times were greatly decreased. Analysis result by Visual Minteq 3.1 said most of the leached lead component could be extracted as crystal such as Anglesite (PbSO4), Cerrusite (PbCO3), Cotunnite (PbCl2), and Pb(OH)2 by sulfate and carbonate in seawater.

According to the test result with a non-seismic reinforced concrete specimen with one span and one story, it was considered that the method of simply measuring a story drift ratio using a sinker was comparatively effective for comparatively damaged members when evaluating the post-earthquake safety of buildings.
