실제로 미끼로써 사용되고 있는 수산동물로부터의 추출물질의 화학자극으로서의 효과를 측정하기 위하여 3가지 동물로부터서의 추출물질을 도너트형의 실험수로에서 흘려보내면서, 붕장어가 그것을 만났을 때의 반응을 측정하였다. 자극물질로서는 고등어, 전어, 크릴로부터 엑스분을 추출한 것을 썼는데, 고등어는 일반 어시장에서 유통되는 것, 전어는 바로 죽은 것, 크릴은 냉동된 것을 썼다. 엑스분을 추출하는 방법으로는 Konosu 등의 방법을 썼으며, 공시어는 충무 근해에서 통발로 잡은 붕장어를 썼다. 1. 화학자극으로 고등어, 전어, 크릴의 추출물질을 주었을 때 자극영감에서의 체류시간의 비율은 고등어가 7.9%, 전어가 30.9%, 크릴이 9.7%였다. 이것은 고등어와 크릴은 그 비율이 임의영감에서의 평균기대확율(12.5%)보다 작아서 오히려 기피하는 현상을 보이는 것 같고, 전어는 그 비율이 높아서 유인결과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 2. 시험수로내에서의 1분간의 평균이동거리는 고등어의 추출물질을 주었을 때 389cm, 전어는 344cm, 크릴은 369cm로서, 전어가 가장 작으나 그 차이가 크지 않아서 유음적인 차이는 없는 것 같다. 3. 전어를 바로 죽인 것, 죽은 지 24시간 경과한 것, 48시간 경과한 것으로부터서의 추출물질을 주어서 시료의 선도에 따른 반응을 비교한 결과, 체류시간의 비율이 각각 30.9%, 17.1%, 11.3%여서 죽은 지 48시간 경과한 것은 임의의 영감에 있어서의 평균기대확율보다 낮아 공시어가 기피한다고 판단되었고, 바로 죽인 전어에서 추출한 것은 유인결과가 컸다. 따라서 미끼의 유인결과는 미끼의 조성성분보다는 선도에 더 크게 지배되는 것으로 판단된다.

The authors carried out an experiment to investigate the responsive behavior of sea eel, Astroconger myriaster(BREVOORT) to chemical stimuli. The experimental tank was made in doughnut type by using FRP plates. The channel of tank was divided into three concentric troughs by using perforated plastic plates. The inside trough was used as influent part, the outside one as effluent part, and the middle one as the testing trough in which testing fish may be swimmable. The influent part was radially portioned into 12 sections so as to be 30 degrees of central angle. But a basin of any section in testing trough was diverged in the range of 45 degrees of central angle. The the testing trough are radially divided into eight zones. Water is supplied at the rate of 6.3l per minute from the central water tank set as high as 50cm in the center of doughnut, passed across the influent part, testing trough, effluent part and finally discharged by overflow pipes. The chemical substance to stimulate the sea eel was extracted from mackerel, shad and krill which are used as bait for fishing. The chemical substance was injected into any one of 12 hoses which supplies water from central water tank to the influent part at the rate of 2ml per minute. Sea eels used for the experiment were caught by pot in the coast of Chung-mu and accustomed to the tanks for 5 days before applying them to the experiment. The result obtained are as follows: 1. The rate of time length of sea eel's staying in the stimulated zone, as the extracts of mackerel, shad and krill were given to it, was observed as 7.9%, 30.9% and 11.4% respectively. It means that the extract from shad was the most effective of three in attracting sea eel. 2. To compare the effect of freshness of bait fish, the extracts were prepared from shad just killed, form the 24 hour-lapsed one and from the 48 hour-lasped one after killed. The rate of time length of sea eel's staying in the stimulated zone was 30.9%, 17.1% and 11.3% respectively. It means that the freshness is much effective in attracting olfactory fishes like sea eel.
