The crayfish-shaped artificial bait for octopus drift line is manufactured, into which is made to insert ordinary bait. The effects of the artificial bait are confirmed through the analysis of octopus' behavior in the laboratory in comparison with the existing bait of pig-fat skin, and the investigation of the octopus catch on the sea, and in addition, the examination of the water quality in relation to the bait to be inserted into the artificial bait is done together. The artificial bait is red in color, 10.5cm in the length of the body, and 29g in weight. The octopus behavior in relation to the bait in the laboratory has shown a good result in which more than 30% of the octopuses rushed to the artificial bait. In the analysis of the octopus sitting time by the bait, the octopus stayed longer with the artificial bait(63.7%) than the pig-fat skin(25.1%). The octopus sitting time at the artificial bait inserted with frozen squid(48.8％, 44.6％) is shown to be longer than that of the pig-fat skin(36.9％) or boiled fish paste(21.2％). In the analysis of sitting frequency to the bait, the case of the artificial bait(total 17 times) was more than that of the pig-fat skin(total 3 times), and the case of the artificial bait with frozen squid attracted the octopuses more frequently than that of the pig-fat skin or the boiled fish paste. In the field experiment, the fishing boat A(Manseon-ho, 1.22tons) caught the total 93 octopuses, while the fishing boat B(Ilho-ho, 0.73tons) caught the total 154 octopuses, all of which weighed less than 9.0kg. In the comparison with the total catch, the case with the artificial bait was a little higher than that of the pig-fat skin(**p < 0.05). In the analysis of the water quality in relation to the baits, the COD showed the descending order of frozen squid(0.57mg/g), boiled fish paste(0.18mg/g), and pig-fat skin(0.10mg/g), and the case with frozen squid was the highest and the case of the pig-fat skin, lowest. The total phosphorus, like the COD, showed the highest in frozen squid(0.02mg/g), and in case of the total nitrogen, unlike the COD, the pig-fat skin was shown to be the highest(0.006mg/g).

본 연구에서는 스트로보광의 자극효과를 검토할 목적으로 스트로보광 강도에 따른 전갱이의 반응을 심박수의 변화로 조사하였다. 실험은 10Hz의 스트로보광강도(75 lx·s)를 1/2, 1/5, 1/15로 빛의 세기를 감소시켜, 4단계의 강도별로 심박수를 자극 전 10분간, 자극 중 30분간, 자극 후 20분간 합계 60분간을 2시간마다 3회 연속해서 측정하였다. 그 결과, 스트로보광자극 중의 심박수 증가와 자극 종료직후에 일시적으로 현저한 심박수 감소가 있었다. 스트로보광 자극효과는 자극강도의 감광에 따라 감소하였다. 반복실험에 의한 자극효과는 75 lx·s의 강도보다 약한 스크로보광 강도에서는 현저하게 나타나지 않았다.
