This paper is second part on the auditory thresholds and fish behaviors to the underwater sounds for luring of target species at the set-net in the coast of Cheju. In order to obtain the critical ratio of yellow tails(Seriola quinqueradiata) and the emission level of underwater sound for luring of them, we make experiments to measure the auditory threshold of them using conditioning with electric shock. In state that the white noise with 10dB higher sound pressure level than ambient noise is emitted, the auditory thresholds of yellow tails are measured with 100~116.5dB and they are higher than those in state of no emission of white noise by the masking effects of it. Although sound pressure level of background noise go down, the auditory thresholds go up with frequency above than 300Hz.The critical ratio of yellow-tails in frequency of 80Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 500Hz, 800Hz are 46dB, 40dB, 50dB, 52dB, 60dB, 70dB respectively. The sound pressure level of which the signal sound is recognized by yellow tails under the ambient noise is above 100dB and the critical ratio of them is above 40dB.

This paper is to estimate the long and short term variations of mean sea level in Korean coastal waters by identifying interrelations among the mean sea level, atmospheric pressure and air temperature along the coast. For this, long-term tidal data observed at tidal and weather observation stations were brought into a statistical analysis. It was noted that, in a general sense, an inverse relationship exists between the sea level and the atmospheric pressure and a positive relationship between the sea level and air temperature, respectively. The maximum difference of monthly mean sea level was in the range of 21 to 25 cm at the eastern and southeastern coasts, meanwhile more than 30 cm being in both in southern and western coasts. It was also noted that mean sea level continues to rise in a long-term basis. Long-term variation of mean sea level trends to rise 0.10 ∼ 0.44 cm per year for each region. However, the long-term variation of mean sea level in the isolated islands shows a different trend, Ullngdo being 0.41 cm fall per year and Chejudo being 0.44 cm rise per year.

경남 남해도 연안해역에서 조업중인 낭장망에 의해 채집되는 어류의 종조성 및 계절 변동을 조사하기 위해서 1989년 5월부터 1990년 4월까지 1년간 매달 어류를 채집하였다. 낭장망에 의해 채집된 어류는 총 56종이었다. 멸치가 가장 많이 어획되었으며, 그 다음으로 붕장어, 갈치, 밴댕이, 청멸이 많이 어획되었다. 이들 6어종은 채집된 어류 총 개체수의 93.9%와 총 어획량의 73.8%를 차지하였다. 본 조사해역에서 채집된 어류의 대부분은 10cm 이하의 작은 체장을 지닌 소형 어종이거나, 대형 어종의 유어로 구성되어 있었다. 낭장망에 의한 어확물은 뚜렷한 계절변동을 보였다. 채집어종수는 봄과 가을에, 채집 개체수와 생체량은 봄에 높은 값을 보였다. 그러나 겨울에는 채집 개체수 및 생체량이 매우 낮은 값을 보였다. 종다양도지수는 여름에 가장 낮은 값을 보였는데, 이 시기에 멸치가 총 개체수의 90% 이상을 차지하였다. 낮과 밤의 어획량을 비교한 결과, 밤 동안에 더 많은 어종수 및 생체량이 채집되었다.

Floating debris was recorded from a training ship, #1 Kwarnksan, of Pukyong National University with about 10 knots speed during March, May and July of 1997. The area sampled is the Southeastern Coast of Korea, divided into 40 unit segments on survey routes. Debris fabrication materials were categorized using the following ; man-made or natural wood items, paper, cardboard, nylon rope, netting, styrofoam and plastics, floating metal and glass containers. All identified items within a 〈TEX〉100 ± 2 m〈TEX〉 wide band were recorded but ignored if beyond this boundary.The results of distribution and composition of floating debris in the area as follows:1. The quantities of debris during the duration of survey were distributed from 2~605 items per km2. The most obvious trend is the widespread distribution of all debris. 2. The highest densities of all debris were discovered in the coastal waters of Seoimal lighthouse, the southeastern part of Koje island, next near Nakdong estuaries. Especially styrofoam & plastics were observed in 77.4~87.2% of sampled area, next is wood items, 9.1~ 13.5%. And nylon netting & rope, 3.6%, was the third item of pollutant. Others are very small. 3. Compared with the East Coat of Korea, the quantities of all debus in theSoutheastern Sea are 6 times as large as the East Coast. The survey provides a basis for more detailed survey work in the South Sea. Further surveys are being investigated, and from this it is hoped that a much wider coverage can be achieved, perhaps on all sites of the Coast of Korea and contributed to the removal method, finding of sources, stationary area of debris.

In order to investigate the relation between the environmental factors influencing on the fluctuation of fishing condition and the catch of anchovy in gill nets in the coastal waters of Yosu, five oceanographic factors, i.e., water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a and the catch of anchovy in gill nets are observed from June 6 to August 12 in 1993. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1) The water temperature ranged from 16.0℃ to 22.6℃ and the salinity from 30.13‰ to 33.65‰. the water temperature and salinity showed no significant influence on the catch of anchovy, but the catch did not expose high values in low temperature and salinity. 2) The catch of anchovy increased with the amount of chlorophyll-a. It is therefore emphasized that the amount of chlorophyll-a is the greatest one of environmental factors influencing on the catch of anchovy.

This paper, examines the relationship between water temperatures and fishing conditions of common squid by the squid angling fishery from June to September in 1993-1995. The condition of the common squid fishing largely depended on the fluctuation of water temperature in the coastal area of Gampo. Monthly mean water temperatures during June m September in 1993 and 1994 were relatively higher than those in 1995 in Gampo area. But the values between July and August in 1995 were about 5℃ lower than those in 1993 and 1995. Coefficients of variation (CV) of water temperature showed the lowest value during July ~ September in 1993, however, the highest value was observed in July and August in 1994. Catch per unit effort (CPUE ; kg/angling) showed a peak with 73.7kg in 1993 when the CV was low. On the other hand, the lowest CPUE of 39.6kg was observed in 1994 when the CV was high. It was concluded that the high stability of water temperatures and the weak strength of cold water have caused the good fishing conditions of common squid.

Distribution of Anchovy was analyzed from the experimental operations by the small anchovy drag net fishery in the coastal area of Yang yang - gun and Myongju - gun of Kangwon Province from October to December, 1994. Temperature ranged from 11.4℃.to 17.4℃.throughout the experimental period. Fishes caught by experimental operation vessels were composed of anchovy, Clupanodon Punctatus, Pleuronectidae, Tetraodantidae, Acanthopagrus Schlegeli etc., and the anchovy occupied more than 99.6% of the total catch. Anchovy was characterized by the most abundance of the catch for the individual less than 6cm and the gradual increase after October for those larger than 6cm. CPUE(catch per tow) of anchovy was 684kg in October, 784kg in November, 1,590kg in December and mean CPUE of 3 months from October to December was 1,066kg. Fishing grounds of anchovy were formed in coastal area, from 37˚45'N to 38˚04'N, off Kangwon Province. Distribution density of anchovy in Chumunjin - up, Kyohang - ri Sachon - myon, and Sachonjin - ri coasts was higher than the other areas. Anchovy caught in this surveyed area was recruited from July to September at the length class between 2cm and 3cm, and grew to the sizes between 4cm and Bem in October, between 5cm and tcm in November, between tcm and Bem in December. Recruitment of anchovy increased from July to September and suddenly decreased after September. Individual number of the population was the largest during the period from August to October and gradually decreased after October. Biomass continuously increased after August, and was the largest in December.

In order to investigate the relation between the environmental properties and the catch fluctuation of set net fishing grounds located in the coastal waters of Yosu, oceanographic observations on the fishing grounds were carried out by the training ship ofYosu Fisheries University from January, 1990 to September, 1992, and the data obtained were compared with the catch data from the joint market ofYosu fisheries cooperative society from 1984 to 1993. The resuItes obtained are summerized as follows : 1. The ranges of water temperature and salinity in the fishing ground was 7.0 to 27℃.and 26.6 to 33.2‰, and water temperature increased from March to August and decreased from September to February of following year. 2. The salinity in the fishing grounds was relatively high without significant changes from November to June of the following year. From July, however, the salinity decreased to continue a low value till September and then increased. The salinity in the fishing ground was dominated mainly by the precipitation and its variation was large at the north entrance of set net fishing ground, influenced greatly by the land waters from the river of Somjin, but small in the offshore of the fishing grounds. 3. The fishes caught by the set nets were arranged in order of catch as follows; Spanish mackerel〉 Horse mackerel 〉 Sardine 〉 Anchovy 〉 Hair tail. The catches of Anchovy and Sardine were high in April to May and those of Hair tail in June to July, but Spanish mackerel and Horse mackerel were caught for whole period of fishing. Spanish mackerel was caught most in September and least in April and their means were largest in August and smallest in June. 4. The ranges of optimum water temperature for fishing by the set nets was 13.5 to 25℃., and in the ranges the catches increased with increasing temperature. The ranges of optimum salinity for fishing varied between 25.0 and 32.0‰.

The authors carried out a field experiment to confirm the effect of underwater sound on the luring of fish schools in a setnet in the coast of Cheju Island. The effects of the acoustic emission on the luring of fish schools were observed using a manufectured underwater speaker in the setnet, and pure sound, of which frequency was 600Hz and the source level was 126dB, was emitted on and off at 5 minutes intervals in the set net during the night of ,July 29 and ,July 31. So we had recorded behavior of fish schools by the telesounder with two channel and shape of the setnet by underwater video camera and analyzed them. When the flood and ebb currents were around the setnet, the nets rised to the surface of water and it happened occasionaly at the stand of tide. Therefore, it was in the state that fish schools feel constraint to enter into the setnet, and was required a new design of the setnet stand up to strong tidal current. As the pure sound, of which frequency was 600Hz was emitted for the luring of fish schools in a setnet, the catch ammounts of fish, the young horce mackereWI'rachllrlls japonicus), was increased 4~6 times than not emitted.

We measured lagrangian currents in the coastal regions off east coast of Korea. The experiment sites are the Ulijin region where Polar Front of the East Sea is formed and the Ulgi region where coastal upwelling occurs frequently in summer. Each drifters are equipped with GPS receiver, and their trajectories are montiored by receiving the data transmitted from drifters through radio signal. The experiment with 'transmitting' GPS is very useful in monitering flows in coastal regions. Trajectories of drifters in the Uljin Polar Front region in October 1994 showed counterclockwise flow pattern. The flow pattern agrees with the SST distributions obtained from NOAA-11 AVHRR image for the same period. The lagrangian trajectories of drifters at 5m and 15m depths in the Ulgi region for normal period of April 1995 showed that the currents at the top 15m layer are almost uniform and their magnitude is 29cm/s. However, the currents, measured by KORDI, during the upwelling period of June 1994 showed that the currents at 5m depth were 1.2 times stronger than those at 15m depth. The current pattern in the Ulgi upwelling region agrees with the horizontal and vertical distributions of seawater temperature measured by NFRDA at the same period.

경북 연안 정치망어업의 어획량 변동에 관한 연구를 위하여 1985~1989 연간 총 11통의 표본어장의 어획자료로부터 연도별, 월별, 지역별, 어종별, CPUE(1양망당 어획량), 어종조성 및 각 어장별 주요어종의 출현시기 및 해황 특징 등에 관한 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. CPUE 변동은 연도별로 보면, 변동폭이 매우 크고 대체적으로 감소하는 경향이고, 지역별로는 죽변 지역이 높고 나머지 지역은 낮았다. 월별로 보면, 전체적으로는 8~11월이 높게 나타났고, 지역별로는 주변, 강구는 8~11월, 축산, 감포는 9~11월, 후포는 8~12월이 높게 나타났다. 연도별 CPUE 변동은 연도별로는 쥐치, 고등어, 참다랭이, 조피볼락, 방어는 감소 추세에 있고, 정어리, 전갱이, 청어는 증가 추세에 있으며, 오징어는 안정을 유지하면서 증가하는 경향에 있고, 갑오징어는 1987년 이후 낮은 수준에서 안정된 경향을 보였다. 월별로는 고등어, 전갱이, 참다랭이, 방어, 조피볼락은 9~10월, 쥐치와 오징어는 11~1월, 정어리는 4~5월, 청어는 3월, 갑오징어는 4월이 높게 나타났다. 연도별로 출현하는 주요어종의 어군크기는 1985년~1989년 전체적으로 볼 때 쥐치, 정어리, 전갱이, 고등어, 오징어, 참다랭이, 방어의 순 이였고, 연도별로는 1985년 쥐치, 1986년 정어리, 1987년에는 전갱이, 1988년에는 쥐치, 1989년에는 정어리가, 월별로는 1~7월까지는 정어리가, 8~10월에는 정어리, 고등어가, 그리고 11~12월에는 쥐치가 수위를 차지하고 있었다. 어종별 출현시기를 감포와 죽변 지역을 비교해 볼 때, 쥐치, 고등어, 오징어, 참다랭이, 갑오징어는 죽변 지역이 다소 빠르게 나타나고, 고등어와 방어는 감포 지역이 빠르게 나타났다. 특히 정어리의 경우는 출현시기가 약 3개월 차이를 보인 반면, 전갱이와 삼치는 동일한 시기에 출현하였다. 또한 경북 연안 정치망어업에서는 평년에 비해 난류세력이 강하고 수온전선이 연안을 따라 남북으로 길게 형성되는 해에 해황이 좋은 것으로 나타났다.
