본 연구에서는 충남 연안에서 연안조망의 어획 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 2008년 3월부터 2009년 2월까지 매월 2∼4회 연안조망을 사용하여 어획조사를 실시하였다. 조사 해역은 동경 125도 50분∼126도 05분, 북위 36도 15분∼36도 25분의 해역이었고, 총 19목 63과 96종이 채집되었다. 그 중 어류가 54종, 갑각류가 27종, 복족류 및 이매패류가 9종, 그리고 두족류가 6종이었다. 생체량은 어류가 51.4 %로 가장 많았으며, 갑각류는 34.2 %를 차지하였다. 꽃새우는 7월~11월에 출현량이 많았고, 12월부터 5월까지는 적은 양이 출현하였다. 연안조망의 목표종인 꽃새우는 전체 어획물의 2.1 %로 낮은 채집 비율로 출현하였으며, 꽃새우 이외 어종의 부수적 어획물의 양적 비율이 높아, 꽃새우 어획이 부수어획으로 어획되는 종들의 수산자원에 미치는 영향이 클 것으로 판단된다.

Species composition and seasonal variation of aquatic organism in the marine ranchig ground of Taean, Korea were investigated using shrimp beam trawl from January to December 2010. A total of 99 species, 5,355,816ind./km2 and 84,697kg/km2 of aquatic organism were collected. Among them, fish include 9 orders 33 families 54 species, crustaceans include 2 orders 15 families 30 species, cephalopods consist of 3 orders 4 families 5 species, gastropods include 2 orders 3 families 4 species, echinoidea sp. include 1 order 2 families 2 species, bivalves were composed of 2 orders 2 families 2 species, and holothuroids include 1 family 1 order. According to the dominants by month, Palaemon gravieri was dominant in January, Cynoglossus joyneri was dominant in February, March, and June, and Hexagrammos otakii was dominant, in July. And Oratosquilla oratoria was dominant echinoidea sp. was dominant in April, May, and August and in September, October, November, and December. Cluster analysis based on species composition of the 38 most common species showed that the species were separated into 5 different groups. Group A was composed of species which were abundant in spring and summer, group B was composed of year-round residents, and group C was composed of species which were abundant in autumn.

Species composition and seasonal variation of aquatic organism in the coastal waters off Taean, Korea were investigated using catches by commercial fishing of the pot and gill net from April 2010 to January 2011. A total of 58 species, 10,602 individuals and 547,569g of aquatic organism were collected during the study. Aquatic organism were composed of 22 species of Pisces, 20 species of Crustacea, 8 species of Gastropoda, 3 species of Echinodea, 2 species of Cephalopoda and Bivalvia, and 1 species of Holothuroidea. 41 species in 9 orders and 22 families were collected by the pot, and 28 species in 15 orders and 22 families were collected by the gill net. Volutharpa ampullacea was the most dominant in the pot, while Okamejei kenojei was the most dominant in the gill net. These two species accounted for 73.9% in the number of individuals, and 64.4% in biomass. The number of species was high in spring in the pot, and autumn in the gill net. The number of individuals and biomass were highest in winter and summer respectively in the pot, and summer in the gill net. The number of species of the consignment quantity caught by commercial fishery of the pot and gill net in Mohang was 12 and 14 respectively. Cluster analysis based on species composition of the 18 most common species showed that the species were separated into 3 different group. Group A was composed of species which were abundant in spring, group B was composed of species which were abundant in summer and autumn, and group C was composed of year-round residents.

Catches, CPUE, fishing season, disc width composition and fishing ground were studied to rebuild skate ray, Raja pulchra resource by the offshore longline fishery in Heuksan-do, Korea. Annual catches and CPUE of skate ray were increased from 2003 to 2010 (CPUE: from 2007 to 2010) continuously. The main fishing season of the skate ray was from December to next May. Disc width at 50% maturity for Raja pulchra by sex were estimated to be 65.83cm, 57.01cm by female and male respectively. The range of disc width was 22.3-112.0cm and the average disc width was 66.9cm, 60.0cm by female and male of Raja pulchra respectively during 2007-2010. Annual average of disc width of female skate ray was decreased from 2007 to 2010. The fishing grounds were formed from the coastal water off Hong-do to the coastal water off Gyeogyeolbiyeol-do, Korea. The center of fishing ground in October was formed in the northwestern coastal water off Gyeogyeolbiyeol-do and separated from that of the other months.

The fisheries resources by a set net in the coastal waters off Neungpo, Goeje Island from 2003 to 2004 were studied to determine species composition and catch variation. The main fishing period by a set net were from April to December in 2003 and from May to December in 2004. A total weight of 48 species caught through the survey period was 540,688.0kg. Most of them were 44 species of fishes and a few were 4 species of cephalopods. Dominant species was Trachurus japonicus accounting to 57.5% in total catch. Sub-dominant species were Trichiurus lepturus(12.9%), Engraulis japonicus(10.6%), Scomber japonicus(6.9%), Clupea pallasii(4.5%), Todarodes pacificus(2.8%) and Parapristipoma trilineaturm(1.3%). The remnant species showed a low catch, indicating the catch had less than 1% in total, respectively. T. japonicus and T. lepturus were caught throughout the survey period, but C. pallasii, Gadus macrocephalus, Oncorhynchus keta in low temperature season and Thunnus obesus in high temperature season. The fishing ground temperature was 11.7-24.0℃ in range and the catch by a set net was higher in autumn than in spring and in summer with the variation of fishing ground temperature. The annual catch by a set net was much higher in 2004 than in 2003 due to high temperature(〉17℃) and the recruitment of T. japonicus from offshore seas. Therefore we concluded that the catch of Neungpo fishing ground by a set net was highly related to the variation of T. japonicus catch with fishing ground temperature.

1987년 2월부터 1988년 1월까지 낙동강 하구해역에서 채집된 전갱이(체장 4~15cm)의 식성을 조사하였다. 전갱이의 주요 먹이생물은 요각류(Copepoda), 단각류(Amphipods), 공쟁이류(Mysidacea)등의 갑각류였다. 특히 요각류가 위 내용물 중 차지하는 비율이 매우 높았다. 그 외에 십각류(Decapoda), 난바다공쟁이류(eEuphausiacea), 모악류(Chaetognatha), 갯지렁이류(Polycheata), 어란 및 자어 등이 위내용물 중 소량 발견되었다. 요각류 중에서는 Paracalanus parvus, Acartia clausi 그리고 Calanus sinicus 가 많이 섭이되었는데, 특히 C. sinicus에 대한 선호도가 높았다. 전갱이가 성장함에 따라 먹이생물의 조성이 점차 변하였다. 작은 전갱이들은 그들의 먹이를 요각류에 거의 전적으로 의존하였으나, 체장이 증가하면서 위내용물 중 요각류가 차지하는 비율은 점차 감소하였으며, 그 대신 비교적 큰 먹이생물인 단각류 및 곤쟁이류의 점유율은 점차 증가하였다.

황해와 동중국해역에서 근해안강망에 의해 어획되는 황아귀의 어획량 변동과 어장 분포, 그리고 산란 생태를 구명한 결과는 다음과 같다. 황아귀는 연중 어획되며, 이중 많이 어획되는 시기는 겨울철, 가장 적게 어획되는 시기는 여름철인 것으로 나타났다. 황아귀의 어장은 황해와 동중국해에 널리 분포하고 있으며, 중심어장은 일향초 주변 해역으로 어획량이 50 M/T 이상, CPUE가 5kg/haul 이상, C.V는 0.6~0.7의 범위로 낮게 나타났다. 황아귀의 산란시기는 3월과 4월경이며, 이때의 산란장은 일향초와 제주도 사이해역에서 형성되는 것으로 추정되었다. 황아귀의 어장은 월별에 따라 이동하는 현상을 나타내었는데, 즉, 겨울에는 황해저층냉수와 대마난류수의 남하로 어장은 제주도 서방해역에 주로 분포한다. 또 산란시기인 3월과 4월경이 되면, 일향초 부근 해역으로 어장이 밀집하지만, 산란이 끝난 5월이후가 되면 수온의 상승과 더불어 어장은 황해와 동중국해역으로 널리 분산되는 것으로 나타났다.
