초록

어군의 분포밀도와 초음파산란강도의 관계를 검토하기 위하여, 50kHz의 주파수에서 net cage (농망)에 분포밀도가 기지인 어군을 수용하고, 어군밀도의 변화에 기인하는 echo energy의 변동을 고찰하고, 또 cage 실험에 의해 추정한 어체의 평균적인 반사강도와 개개의 어체를 대상으로 구한 평균반사강도를 상호 비교, 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. cage 실험에 의한 붕어의 평균반사강도는 -41.9dB로서, 이 값은 현장에서 개개의 붕어(마취어, 평균체장 19.1cm)를 대상으로 측정한 평균반사강도 -42.6dB보다 0.7dB 더 컸다. 2. cage내에 수용한 어군의 분포밀도가 증가함에 따라, 어군에 의한 평균체적산란강도는 직선적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 즉, 어군밀도가 7, 13, 20, 26, 39, 52, 66 마리/m 상(3)였을 때, 각각의 어군에 의한 평균체적산란강도는 -33.0, -28.9, -27.6, -24.3, -25.1, -23.6, -22.1dB이었다. 3. 어군밀도 σ(마리/m 상(3))와 평균체적산란강도 (dB)와의 사이에는 다음의 관계식이 성립하였다. =-41.9+11.0 Log(σ), r=0.97 이 식에 회귀직선의 기울기 11은 이론적인 값 10에 거의 근사하였다.

This paper describes the fish-density dependence of the mean backscattering strength with aggregations of encaged, free-swimming fish of known density in relation to the experimental verification of echo-integration technique for estimating the density of fish shoals. In this experiment, various numbers of gold crussian, Carassius burgeri burgeri, with a mean length of 18.5cm and a mean weight of 205.9g, were introduced into a net cage of approximately 0.76m super(3). During the backscattering measurements. the cage was suspended on the sound axis of the 50kHz transducer having a beam width of 33 degrees at -3dB downpoints. The volume backscattering strengths from fish aggregations were measured as a function of fish density. Data acquisition, processing and analysis were performed by means of the microcomputer-based sonar-echo processor including a FFT analyzer. The calibration of echo-sounder system was carried out at field with a steel ball bearing of 38mm in diameter having the target strength of -40.8dB. The dorsal-aspect target strengths on anesthetized specimens of gold crussian used in the cage experiment were measured and compared with the target strength predicted by the fish density-echo energy relationship for aggregations of free-swimming gold crussian in the cage. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The target strengths in the dorsal aspect on anesthetized specimens of gold crussian, with the mean length of 19.1cm and the mean weight of 210.5g, varied from -40.9dB to -44.8dB with a mean of -42.6dB. This mean target strength did not differ significantly from that predicted by the regression of echo energy on fish density of free-swimming gold crussian in the cage. It suggests that the target-strength measurements on anesthetized fish was valid and can be representative for live, free-swimming fish. 2. The relationship between mean backscattering strength(, dB) and distribution density of gold crussian(σ, fish/m super(3)) was expressed by the following equation; =-41.9+11 Log(σ) with a correlation coefficient of 0.97. This result support the existence of a linear relationship between fish density and echo energy, but suggest that this line has steeper slope than the regression by the theory of estimating the density of fish schools.
