Working depth of the model net was determined by using of the same experimental tank and the same model net that used in the forwarded report in a series studies. The depth of the net which indicates the depth of the head rope from the water surface, was determined by the photographs taken in front of the net mouth with the combination of towing velocity, warp length and distance between paired boats. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. Working depth of model nets A and B was varied in the range of 0.09~1.66〈TEA〉m,and 0.04~1.34〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉m〈/TEX〉(which can be converted into 2.7~40.2〈TEA〉mand 1.2~49.8〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉m〈/TEX〉in the full-scale net) respectively, and the depth of model net A was slightly deeper than the depth of the model net B. 2. Working depth (〈TEA〉D,which is appendixed m for the model net, f for the full-scale net, A and B for the types of the model nets) can be expressed as the function of towing velocity〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉Vt〈/TEX〉, as in the model net(〈TEA〉Vt=〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉m〈/TEX〉/〈TEA〉sec) 〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉DmA〈/TEX〉=(-1.99+0.65〈TEA〉Lw) 〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉e-1.72Vt〈/TEX〉 〈TEA〉DmA]=(-1.91+1.04 〈TEA〉Lw) 〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉e2.88Vt〈/TEX〉 in the full-scale net(〈TEA〉Vt=〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉k〈/TEX〉'〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉t〈/TEX〉 〈TEA〉DfA=(-29.32+0.65〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉Lw〈/TEX〉)〈TEA〉e0.40 Vt 〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉DfB〈/TEX〉=(-57.60+1.04〈TEA〉Lw)〈TEA〉〈/TEX〉e-0.67 Vt〈/TEX〉 3.

Working depth was gradually shallowed according to the increase of the distance between paired boats.
