Species composition of fishes and the recruitment properties of jack mackerel, Trachurus japonicus, in the waters around the Geumo Islands in the mid-South Sea were investigated by using both sides fyke nets every month from February to December 2010. During study period, a total of 30,503 fishes (1,380.4 kg) were collected and classified into 2 classes, 16 orders, 61 families and 121 species. The dominant species was jack mackerel occupying 80.5% of total individuals and 44.4% of total biomass. The fork length range of jack mackerel was 5.5-26.8 cm and individuals about 6 cm was appeared only in the middle and southern area of the Geumo Islands in May. The new recruitment of jack mackerel appeared from May in the waters around the Geumo Islands is probably caused by the warm water intrusion associated with the development of stratification due to the extinction of seasonal coastal cold waters by the increase of solar radiation heat. Furthermore, the jack mackerels less than 6 cm recruiting in the mid-South Sea in spring were considered as mixed ones by individuals spawned in the East China Sea and in the waters around the Jeju Island considering the collected time, migration period and spawning time of them.

The fundamental data on the catch fluctuation in the rectangular set net according to the tide age were developed based on the catches recorded from the year 1986 to 2004 in the coastal waters of Hamdeok, Jeju. Total catch by the rectangular set net had a deep connection with the tide age. In particular, during increasing tide, total catch were reduced gradually from the neap tide to the high tide. As it turned out, the slope of total catch declined by degree and showed a correlation coefficient of determination of 0.76. On the contrary, in the case of decreasing tide, there was little sign of rise in total catch. In particular, large catch seemed to occur at the next tide to the neap tide. In the relation between the catch and the tide age, the level of the correlation coefficient chosen at p≤0.05 decreased in the order rabbitfish(-0.84) and horse mackerel(-0.71), while the significance of other dominant species were not selected.

제주도 연안 정치망의 어획성능을 향상시키기 위한 어구구조개량과 조업방식의 생력화에 대한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 현재 제주도 연안정치망 어장에 부설하여 조업을 행하고 있는 각망어구와 낙망어구의 어획성능을 비교하기 위해서 두 어장의 3년(1997~1999년)간 어획량을 분석하였는데, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 1997~1999년까지의 3년간의 총어획량은 각망어구가 18.7톤 낙망어구가 36.5톤으로 낙망구의 어획량이 2배 정도 많았다. 2. 1997~1999년까지의 오징어, 전갱이, 독가시와 방어의 어획량은 전체적으로 각망어구보다 낙망어구의 어척량이 1.8배 정도 많았다. 3. CPUE는 각망어구에서는 전갱이가 10.01k 오징어가 20.5kg, 독가시치가 18.0kg 방어가 2.2kg이며 낙망어구에서는 전갱이가 57.5kg, 오징어가 30.0kg, 독가시치가 25.0kg, 방어가 4.7kg였는데 전반적으로 낙망어구의 CPUE가 높게 나타났다. 4. 유어율은 각망어구에서는 전갱이가 64%, 오징어가 79%, 독가시치가 39% 방어가 14%이고 낙망어구에서는 전갱이가 18%, 오징어가 85%, 독가시치가 40%, 방어가 14%로 전체적으로는 각망어구의 유어율이 높게 나타났으나 여기서의 어획량은 낙망어구가 높게 나타났다.

제주도 연안 정치망의 어획성능을 향상시키기 위한 어구구조개량과 조업방식의 생력화에 대한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 현재 제주도 연안 정치망 어장에 부설하여 조업을 행하고 있는 각망어구와 낙망어구의 어획성능을 비교하기 위해서 이들 실물어구를 1/30로 축소하고 제작한 모형어구를 이용하여 수조실험을 실시하고 고등어어군, 전갱이 어군, 독가시치 어군의 입·출망 행동을 관찰하고 해석하였는데, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 어군의 입망율은 경과시간 60초일 때 각망어구에서는 고등어 50%, 전갱이 18%, 독가시치 28%였고, 낙망 어구에서는 고등어 70%, 전갱이 60%, 독가시치 30%였다. 2. 어군의 출망율은 경과시간 60초일 때 각망어구에서는 고등어 70%, 전갱이 40%, 독가시치 24%였고, 낙망어구에서는 고등어, 전갱이가 각각 0%, 독가시치가 3%였다. 3. 어군의 잔존율은 경과시간 60초일 때 각망어구 에서는 고등어 30%, 전갱이 60%, 독가시치 76%였고, 낙망어구에서는 고등어, 전갱이가 각각 100%, 독가시치가 97%였다.

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.
