저층트롤 실물 어구를 이용한 해상 실험을 통하여 예망 중인 어구의 망구 형태에 관련되는 전개판의 간격 및 망고 등을 예망 속도별, 끌줄의 길이별로 측정하고, 이론적인 수치 해석 결과와 비교하여 실물어구의 수중 현황을 해석함으로서 어구의 효율적인 운용과 어획효과의 증대를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 수중 현황을 해석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 전개판의 전개간격은 예망 속도와 끌줄길이의 증가에 따라 직선적으로 증가하며 끌줄 길이에 의한 증가율이 예망 속도에 의한 증가율보다 현저히 크게 나타났으며, 그 간격의 변화는 57.0∼82.8m로서 후릿줄과 그물목줄 및 그물길이 전체의 43∼62%를 차지하였다. 2. 망구의 높이는 예망 속도와 끌줄길이의 증가에 따라 직선적으로 감소하며, 예망 속도에 의한 감소율이 끌줄 길이에 의한 감소율보다 현저히 크게 나타났는데 그 높이의 변화는 3.1∼4.0m로 나타났다. 3. 양 날개끝의 간격이 커지면 망고는 낮아지나 끌줄 길이가 증가할수록 날개 끝 간격의 증가에 대한 망구 높이 감소율의 비는 점차 작아졌다. 4. 망고에 대한 양 날개 끝 간격의 비는 예망속도와 끌줄 길이의 증가에 따라 점차 커졌는데, 그 비는 4.17∼7.81로 나타났다.

To analyze the shape of the net mouth of bottom trawl which is composed with 6 seams net, the field experiment was carried out on the sea near Kokunsan Is, Western sea of Korea. The distance of otter board, net height, trawl speed and resistance of the fishing gear were respectively measured according to the change of warp length and towing speed. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The spreading distance of the otter board has been increased straightly according to the increment of towing speed and warp length. The rate of increase by the warp length has been greatly higher than the rate of increase by the towing speed. The total variation of the spreading distance was 57.0-82.8m, and it was occupied 43-62% of the hand rope, net pendent and the length of nets. 2. The height of net mouth has been decreased straightly according to the increment of towing speed and warp length. The rate of decrease by the towing speed has been greatly higher than the decrease rate of the warp length. The total variation of the net height was 3.1-4.0m. 3. When the distance of wing tip is increased, the height of net mouth is decreased, but the ratio of the decreasing rate of the height of net mouth for the increasing rate of the distance of wing tip was gradually low according to the increment of warp length. 4. The ratio of the distance of both wing tip for the height of net mouth has been increased gradually according to the increment of towing speed and warp length, and the total variation of the ratio was 4.17-7.81 times.
