Distribution of Anchovy School catched by the lift Net and Environmental Factors in the Kamak Bay 1. Relation between distribution of the Anchovy School and Temperature and salinity
In order to investigate the properties in distribution and movement of anchovy school catches by the lift net in the Kamak bay and their relation to the environmental factors, i.e., the water temperature and the salinity were observed form June to August in 1997 and compared with the catch of anchovy by the lift net. The results obtained are summarized as follows;1) The water temperature and salinity ranged form 20.0 to 27.0℃ and from 31.2 to 33.8‰, respectively. The water temperature and salinity at the fishing points ranged form 19.7 to 27.2℃ and, from 30.5 to 33.8℃ respectively.2) The water temperature influenced remarkably on the distribution and movement of anchovy school. But the salinity influenced little on the distribution and movement. 3) The catch of anchovy was highest on July, poor second on August, and lowest on June. Anchovy school can be presurmed, they are come from north of bay, visited and distributed through east of bay at the middle of June. Moreover, they spreaded in all bay. Then gradually, when July arrive, they go to the south th nearest the coasts, and they are outflow through the south entrance of bay at the end of August.
