한국 근해에서 종업하고 있는 트로올선에 알맞은 중층 트로올어구를 개발하기 위하여 부산수산대학 실습선 부산 404호(160 GT, 750 PS)로서 조업하기에 알맞게 설계된 어구로써 어구의 수직전개도를 측정.조사한 것을 요약하면 대략 다음과 같다. 1. 전개판의 깊이의 끌줄 길이에 대한 비는 0.44~0.25의 범위에 있고, 속력에 따라 거의 직선적으로 변하며, 속력이 약 0.1m/sec, 기관의 회전수로서는 약 20 증가할 때마다 약 5m씩 얕아진다. 또, 전개판 깊이의 실측치는 계산치보다 항상 작으며, 그 비는 0.92~0.80의 범위에 있고, 예망속력이 빨라질수록 작아진다. 2. 뜸줄의 깊이는 전개판의 깊이보다 2~3m 더 깊으며, 망구의 수직전개도는 22~19m의 범위에 있고, 속력이 빨라질수록 작아진다. 3. 추의 깊이와 전개판의 깊이의 차는 예망속력에 관계없이 끌줄 100m 인 때 약 20m, 150m인 때 약 22m이며 추의 깊이는 발줄 중앙부는 해저에 닿되, 추는 닿지 않게 할 수 있다. 4. RPM을 20씩 변화시킬 때의 뜸줄 깊이의 변화폭 4m 전후이며, 변화속도는 0.017~0.019m/sec정도이다

The authors carried out an experiment to determine the vertical opening of the midwater trawl, which is the same used in the former experiment in this series of studies. To determine the vertical opening of otter board and front weight, three fish finders were used. A 200 KHz fish finder set on board the research vessel was used to sound the depth of water. A transmitter of 50 KHz fish finder was set through the shoe plate of otter board to determine the height of otter board from the sea bed, and a transmitter of another 50 KHz fish finder was set downwardly on the net pendant right before the front weight to determine the height of weight from the sea bed. The depth of otter board and weight were calculated by subtract the height of those from the depth of water, respectively. To determine the vertical opening of mouth, a transmitter of net recorder was set on the head rope and the vertical opening of that to ground rope was directly read on the recording paper. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The rate of the depth of otter board to the length of warp was in the range of 0.44 to 0.25, and the depth was linearly shoaled about 5m per 0.1m/sec of the towing speed or per 20rpm of the main engine. The rate of the observed depth to the calculated depth of otter board was in the range of 0.92 to 0.080 with a decreasing tendancy in accordance with the increase of towing speed. 2. The depth of head rope was 2 to 3m deeper than that of otter board, and the vertical opening of net mouth was in the range of 22 to 19m, with a decreasing tendancy in accordance with the increase of towing speed, 3. The difference of depth between front weight and otter board was about 20m and 22m respectively in the length of warp 100m and 150m without distinct change in accordance with the towing speed. The depth of front weight was 2 to 3m shallower than that of ground rope. 4. The changing range of depth of head rope according to the revolution of main engine was about 4m per 20rpm.
