Even though it is well known that the tidal current in the East China Sea rotates clockwise, few report can be found about the precise pattern of it. To furnish some information available for the stow net fishermen, the author carried out the observation over 235 semidiurnal tidal cycle to investigate the pattern of the set and the rate of tidal current in the Korean fishing section 250 and 494, by reading the current meter and by tracing the corner reflectors with radar onboard the anchored obsen'ation vessel, from May 12, 1984 through February 27, 1986. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The mean semidiurnal tidal cycle was 12 h 20 m during spring tide, and 12 h 30 m during neap tide. 2. The mean interval from the calculated time of high water until the current began to set north was 2 h 30 m and 2 h 15 m in the fishing section 250 and 494 respectively, and the mean interval from the time of low water current began to set south was about 2 h 0 m in both sections. 3. In comparison of the occupied times to vary the set from one of 8 principal bearing points to the neighboring one, the shortest was while the set varied from N to NE and S to SW in the section 250 and 494 respectively. Contrary the longest was while the set varied from SE to S and from W to NW in the section 250 and 494 respectively. 4. In comparison of the rate while the set varied from one of 8 principal bearing points to the neighboring one, the fastest was while the set varied from SE to Sand NW to N in the section 250, and E to SE and W to NW in the section 494. Contrary the slowest was while the current set to NE and S W in the section 250, and N, NE and S W in the section 494.
트로올선 No.85 Ptaro가 1975년 9월부터 1976년 8월까지 대서양 아프리카 연안 어장에서 조업한 어획상황을 분석한 결과 예망당 어획량의 일주기변동은 대략 다음과 같다. 1. 오징어는 일출후에 월등하게 많고 일몰후에 현저하게 적으며 주야간의 어획량비는 54:17로 획간에 많았다. 2. 갑오징어는 개체중량 300g이상의 대형어는 일출후에 다소 많고 일몰후에 적으며 주야간의 어획비는 45:28로서 획간에 많고, 개체중량 300g 미만의 소형어는 주야간의 어획량비가 40 : 32로서 큰 차이가 없다. 3. 문어는 개체중량 700g 이상의 대형어는 일출후에 적고 일몰후에 적으며, 오전보다 오후에 많은 경향이 있고, 주야간의 어획량비는 43 : 31로서 획간이 많으나, 개체중량 700g 미만의 소형어는 일출후에 적고 일몰후에 많은 경향이 있고, 주야간의 어획량비는 32 : 44로서 야간에 많았다. 4. 서대류는 일출후에 현저하게 적고 일몰후에 월등하게 많으며, 주야간의 어획량비는 16 : 41로서 획간에 많았다. 5. 돔류, 기타 A, B 잡어는 일출후에 월등하게 많고 일몰후에 현저하게 적으며, 주야간의 어획량비는 돔류 51 : 19, A 잡어류 50 : 19, B잡어류 42 : 25로서 획간에 많았다.
The paper deals the fishing condition of the stern trawlers operated in the Atlantic coast of Africa. The datas are gathered from the Korean stern trawlers operated in the area from June, 1975 to May, 1976. The obtained results are summarized as follows: 1. The mean catch per haul are calculated as, cuttle fish 14.5kg, large size squid(more than :lOOg of body weight) 28.2kg, small size squid(less than 300g) 36.4kg, octopus 47.0kg. 2. Small size cuttle fish(less than5OOg of body weight) are caught much during after spring tide in July to September, yet, large size ClIttle fish(more than 500g) are caught much during neap tide in October to January. 3. Small size squid(less than 300g of body weight) are cBught much during after spring tide in October to December, yet, large size squid(more than 3OOg) are caught much during before spring tide in October to March. 4. Octopus are caught during neap tide in July to August.
The accuracy for determining fishing ground and for setting fishing gear location, and the repeatability of ship position vary depending on fishing methods. Especially, Loran-C has been served to give fisherman highly accurate ship's position, and a number of fishing vessel are equipped with it's receivers. In this paper, in order to evaluate the accuracy of Loran-C fix of Korean chain in Korean southeast coast, the authors examined and analyzed the data of the receiver of Loran-C(LC 90, Furuno) and GPS(AccNav SportTM, Eagle) measured automatically and continuously for 2 seconds at interval of 5minutes during 2hours from 11th to 21st, July, 1996 at six observed points, that is, Pusan, Wolnae, Pangojin, Chongja, Kampo and Kuryongpo in Korean southeast coast. As the result obtained, Loran-C signals showed little fluctuation with good reprodutibility. Good stability of Loran-C signals was indicated by the small value of the standard deviation 0.064~0.094μ s. Although determination of the observed position could not be completely accurate, the extent of the error was estimated smaller than 0.35 nautical mile.
