본 연구에서는 동해의 오징어 어획량이 급증한 최근 1990~1999년 기간에 주목하여 동해에서의 오징어 어황 변동과 해황과의 관계를 조사하였다. 동해에서 오징어 어획량의 경년변화 특징은 1970년대부터 1980년대 초반에 감소하고 1980년대 후반에 증가하였다. 이것은 기후변화에 따른 regime shifts의 변동과 관계하는 것으로 나타났다. 월평균 어획량은 9-12월까지 풍어기, 3-5월 사이가 흉어기를 보이고, 최대 어획량은 10월에, 최소어획량은 4월에 나타났다. 해구별 안정 어장의 지표로 제시한 변동계수 (coefficient of variation) 값이 1.0 이하로 매년 안정된 어장은 구릉포 연안역과 울릉도 주변해역에서 형성되었다. 또한, 오징어의 최대 어획적수온 16℃를 기준으로 한 어획적수심은 해역이 북상함에 따라 얕아졌다. 이 결과로부터 해역에 따라 조업시의 어획적수심에 대한 차등성을 둘 필요가 있음이 시사되었다. 또한, 조업 어장과 수온의 관계는 흉어기인 4월에 10~14℃이고, 풍어기인 10월에 10~20℃의 범위로서 오징어 어장 형성은 계절에 따른 대마난류역의 확장과 밀접하게 관련된 것으로 생각된다.

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.

In order to establish one of the forecasting model for the fishing conditions of squid angling fisheries in the Eastern Korea Sea, the catch data for the years of 1955~1991 and the water temperature data for the years of 1979~1990 were analysed, and then some parameters, that is, the water temperature normal year anomaly in the spawning and the rapidly growing season, the adult resource amount and etc were examined statistically correlation with the catch fluctuation of the main fishing seasons. From the result, authors suggested a formula as a forecasting model, Y=25785+1099X sub(1)+1074X sub(2)+6.033X sub(3)+3.95X sub(4)+1.330X sub(5)(M/T)(R super(2)=0.867, P<0.01) in the case that Y is the yearly catch, X sub(1) and X sub(2) are the water temperature normal year anomalies in October and December of the previous year and that in February and April, and X sub(3), X sub(4) and X sub(5) are the catches in October, in September, in November of previous year respectively. Because these parameters could be checked in earlier time of a half year before the main fishing season, this model was assumed to be very useful for the prediction of fishing conditions of squid angling fisheries.

The paper deals the fishing condition of the stern trawlers operated in the Atlantic coast of Africa. The datas are gathered from the Korean stern trawlers operated in the area from June, 1975 to May, 1976. The obtained results are summarized as follows: 1. The mean catch per haul are calculated as, cuttle fish 14.5kg, large size squid(more than :lOOg of body weight) 28.2kg, small size squid(less than 300g) 36.4kg, octopus 47.0kg. 2. Small size cuttle fish(less than5OOg of body weight) are caught much during after spring tide in July to September, yet, large size ClIttle fish(more than 500g) are caught much during neap tide in October to January. 3. Small size squid(less than 300g of body weight) are cBught much during after spring tide in October to December, yet, large size squid(more than 3OOg) are caught much during before spring tide in October to March. 4. Octopus are caught during neap tide in July to August.
