We examined the characteristics of egg and larval distributions and catch changes of anchovy in relation to abnormally high sea temperature in the South Sea of Korea in summer 2015 and 2016. The densities of anchovy eggs and larvae in the southern coastal region were lower in July-August 2016 than in July-August 2015. In particular, anchovy eggs and larvae (approximately 5 mm TL) were rarely observed in the coastal region in August 2016 due to the abnormally high SST (up to 28°C), which was above the optimum spawning temperature of anchovy. The catch of non-swimming stage (< 2 cm TL) larval anchovy was lower in July-August 2016 than in July-August 2015. The decreased catch of larval anchovy in July-August 2016 could be attributed to decreased spawning density in June-July 2016. In contrast, the catch of swimming stage (> 2 cm TL) anchovy was increased in July-August 2016. In the summer of 2016, prominent sea temperature near the southern coast of Korea and sea temperature higher than 30°C in the offshore region of the South Sea of Korea could greatly enhance the retention of swimming anchovies in the coastal fishing grounds.

본 연구에서는 동해 연안의 경상북도(경북)와 강원도(강원)의 정치망어업에서 31년(1980~2010)간 5~11월에 어획된 방어 어획량 과 연근해 수온과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 또한, NOAA 수온 영상을 이용하여 수온의 상승과 하강 시기에 외해수의 이안 및 접안으로 인한 방어의 북상시기(5~8월)와 남하시기(9~11월)의 어획량 변동을 분석하였다. 전체 방어 어획량의 변동은 연도별 차이는 있지만 방어의 북상 시기보다 남하시기에 높은 수온의 외해수가 연안에 접안할 때 어획량이 증가였다. 연안수온의 하강기는 북상 및 남하하는 모든 시기에 경북이 강원보다 방어 어획량이 많았다. 수온 상승기는 방어 어획량의 증감이 동시에 나타났고, 남하시기의 방어 어획량은 일반적인 현상 과 달리 강원이 경북보다 어획량이 많았다. 이것은 하계의 25 이상의 수온이 강원도까지 분포하면서 추계까지 높은 수온(20 )이 지속 되어 방어의 체류시간이 길어졌기 때문이다.

여수 연안 승망 어장의 주변 해역을 중심으로 조사한 해양 관측 자료와 현지에 조사한 어획량 등을 이용하여 여수 연안 승망 어장의 환경특성과 어획량 변동과의 관계를 분석 정리한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 승망 어장에서의 수온의 분포범위는 13.0-25.0˚C이고, 4월부터 상승하기 시작하여 8월에 최고 수온 25.0˚C을 나타내다가 9월부터 하강하기 시작했다. 2) 어장에서의 염분의 분포범위는 28.6-33.8‰이고, 4월과 5월에는 32.0‰이상의 염분수가 분포하며, 6월부터 하강하기 시작하여 8월에는 최저염분 28.6‰를 나타내다가 9월부터 다시 상승하기 시작한다. 3) 여수 연안 승망에 어획되는 주어종인 숭어의 어획량은 5월에 최대 어획을 나타내고 6월부터 감소하기 시작하여 11월에는 최소 어획을 나타냈다. 수온이 높아지기 시작한 시기인 5월의 수온이 15.0-1625.0˚C에서, 저염보다 고염분인 32.6-33.8‰에서 어획이 양호하게 이루어졌다.

The saury stick - held dip net fishery of Korea in the Northwest Pacific Ocean began in 1985 with 3 vessels. Since then the fishery has grown so rapidly year by year that the number of vessels increased to 34 and the catch to 40 thousands Mff in 1993. In the present study, the monthly situation and the movement of the fishing ground for the pacific saury in the Northwest Pacific were investigated and the monthly optimum fIshing tempertures were estimated, from the relationship between the catch and the sea surface temperature. In the beginning of the fishing season, June to August, the fIshing ground is formed in the very wide range, mainly in the northward area of the front meandering, as the parcific saury migrate northward. In the main season, September to November, the ground is formed in the southward area of the front, off the east coast of Japan. Andd then, the fishing season ends in December with the ground coming near to the east coast of Japan. The monthly optimum fishing tempertures showed 11~13℃. in June to July, 13-17℃. in August to November, and 15~ 17℃. in December in general. The profIles of water temperature were much different in accordance by net casting position in the fishing ground, regardless of season. So, the MLD and CPUE was analyzed to find out the relation between the water temperature and the catch. Then, it is found that the CPUE shows over 0.7Mtr/haul as the MLD 40~70m.40~70m.

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‰.

This paper described on relation between the catches of tuna and the distribution of water temperature of eastern fishing ground of Tropical region in the Pacific Ocean. The data of catches and water temperature used in this paper were based log book which # 27 CHENG RONG(Gross tonnage : 399 ton) had been worked eastern fishing ground(Lat : 09˚N- 14˚S, Long : 115˚- 149˚W)from January to October, 1991. The obtained result are as follows : 1. On the relation between the catches and the geographical distribution, bigeye tuna was higher catches at Lat 4˚- 9˚N, Long 135˚- 139˚W area in the equatorial counter current region where surface water temperature was range of 27.5℃ to 27.9℃, yellowfin tuna was higher catches at Lat 4˚- 9˚S, Long 145˚- 149˚W in the south equatorial current region where surface water temperature was range of 28.0℃ to 28.4℃ and albacore tuna was higher catches at Lat 10˚- 14˚S, Long 120˚- 124˚W area in the south equatorial current region where surface temperature was range of 26.5℃ to 26.9℃ 2. On the relation between catches and distribution of vertical water temperature, bigeye tuna was higher catches at the water temperature of 10℃ to 12℃ on depth layer between 300m and 360m, yellowfin tuna was higher catches at the water temperature of 15℃ to 19℃ on depth layer between 180m and 280m and albacore tuna was higher catches at the water temperature of 12℃ to 14℃ on depth layer between 280m and 310m. Above the result, it seemed that bigeye tuna distributed deeper layer than yellowfin and albacore tuna.

The author investigated the relation between the catches of tuna species and the distribution of horizontal mean temperature at the Jepth of 10m and of vertical temperture sections in the different fishing grounds, using the date of catches in 1980, showing a relative good ones during six years from 1975 to 1980, and of oceanographic observations. Yellowfin and bigeye are mainly caught in South Equatorial Current regions including equatorial upwelling region in 5˚N to 5˚S, and albacore is mainly caught in Subtropical region in 20˚5 to 40˚5. The good fishing grounds of yellowfin and bigeye are made in the depth layer of 100 m to 250 m and temperature of 15˚C to 26˚C having a smooth gradient of thermocline in the Central Pacific between 180˚ and 1500W. But albacore is caught well in which the temperature of thermocline ranges from 100e to 25˚C and its gradient very smoothly. Approaching to the American Continent, the catches of yellowfin and big eye decrease because the thermocline becomes shallower and steeper at Eastern Pacific Region between 1500 and 800W.
