이 연구는 2016년 9월에 강원도 양양군 남애리, 경상북도 포항시 구룡포읍 석병2리에 설치한 인공어초를 대상으로 해조류 군집 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 연구를 수행하였다. 현장조사는 2017년 2월, 5월, 8월, 11월에 계절별 1회씩 SCUBA Diving으로 수행하였으며, 정량조사와 정성 조사를 병행하였다. 본 연구에서 녹조류 11종, 갈조류 15종, 홍조류 68종을 포함하여 총 94종 이 채집되었으며, 양양에서 66종(녹조류 8종, 갈조류 9종, 홍조류 49종), 포항에서 65종(녹조류 7종, 갈조류 9종, 홍조류 49종)이 채집 및 동정되었다. 중요도를 기반으로 판단한 우점종의 경 우, 양양은 다시마(Saccharina japonica)가 우점종, 구멍갈파래(Ulva australis)가 준우점종이었으 며 포항은 불레기말(Colpomenia sinuosa), 우뭇가사리(Gelidium elegans) 순으로 우점하였다. 두 해역 모두 어초 설치 초기에 각각 파래류, 불레기말이 착생한 후, 다시마, 감태, 우뭇가사리 등 다년생 해조가 생육하며 우점하여 기존의 천이 패턴과 유사하였다. 해조상 변화를 통해 군집 관계를 명확히 하기 위해서는 추후 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 장기적인 변화를 관찰하여 해조 군락이 안정되기까지의 천이 과정에 관한 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Various artificial reefs provide the fish habitat and nursery, and contribute the improvement of fisheries productivity. The evaluation methods of fishery resources in the artificial reefs have been done by fishing, scuba diving, underwater camera, and scientific echo sounder/sonar. There are a number of studies using echosounders on the quantitative and qualitative evaluations of artificial reefs in various seas around the world. This study focused on the spatial distribution of fishes around artificial reefs and the influential area of reefs off Bukchon, Jeju Island. Not only acoustic data but also various properties of artificial reefs were used in the geographic information system to extract relevant results. As a result, the major material of reefs on this study site was concrete and the number of reefs with that material was the most. The volume of reefs consisted of steel only and steel with riprap was considerably large compared to other reefs. The average NASC in the vertical distribution of fishes in artificial reefs was 31.6 m2/nm2 in April, and that was 61.3 m2/nm2 in June. The distance between the fish school and their nearest reef in June morning had a wide range from 750 to 3250 m. On the basis of the influence ray of artificial reefs, it had a tendancy of NASC to decrease with distance from the reef in the June morning. It is a preliminary study to present the geospatial analysis example to understand a better way of comprehensive artificial reef environments.

In this study, we propose a method of optimal placement technique of artificial reef considering characteristics of sea areas and provide basic data for efficient budget execution. In addition, we will contribute to increasing the economic efficiency by improving the fisheries productivity by suggesting the scientific basis for the policy data and the increase of the catch through the resource creation based on the ecological information about the biology. Especially, in order to establish the effective disposition (optimum separation distance) of artificial reef considering characteristics of biological and engineering factors, it is necessary to review the artificial reef installation management regulations and investigate the biological effects of artificial reef facilities, is needed. Through this, it is expected that the ground data of the direction of the policy promotion will be derived by suggesting the placement condition of the artificial reef complex which can maximize the resource composition effect according to the target fish species.

정부는 해양환경복원과 수산자원을 회복하기 위해 1971년부터 2014년까지 약 44년 동안 222,627ha의 인공어초어장 을 조성하였다. 그러나 인공어초 설치사업은 증가되고 있는 반면 아직까지 설치된 어초의 효과에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 포항시 장길리 해역에 설치된 뿔삼각형어초에 부착·서식하는 저서동물의 시간적 군집변 화를 살펴보기 위해 2003년 포항시 장길리 해역 수심 5∼7m에 설치된 뿔삼각형어초를 대상으로 2009년 2월부터 2011년 8월까지 총 4회에 걸쳐 어초에 부착된 저서동물의 군집을 분석하였다. 그 결과 우점하는 분류군은 연체동물이고 우점종은 바다방석고둥인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 출현종들은 대부분 시공간의 변화에 따라 달라지는 양상을 보였다. 따라서 이 연구를 통해 시설해역과 목적하는 종의 특성에 적합한 인공어초 개발 연구, 사후관리에 관한 이용, 관리제도 제정 등에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

We aimed to assess the behavior characteristics of fish on an artificial reef using hydroacoustic techniques. The acoustical survey was conducted with a 200 kHz dual beam transducer while fishing on the stone combination reef of Uljin. A school of fish were detected on the artificial reef before sunset and floated on the artificial reef at 30 minutes after sunset. The density (Nautical Area Scattering Coefficient, NASC) of fish that floated on the artificial reef after sunset was about 600 m2/nmi2; similar observations (about 50 m2/nmi2 or less) were noted after 19:00 hours. Fish caught by fishing on the artificial reef were Sebastes schlegeli, Hexagrammos otakii, Sebastes thompsoni, and Conger myriaster. Resultantly, we demonstrated that hydroacoustic techniques are useful for detecting behavior characteristics of fish in the artificial reef. Such results can be used for basic data to estimate the install effect of the artificial reefs.

Hydro-acoustic survey was carried out to investigate the spatial characteristics of fish distribution near two artificial reefs (AO: large octagonal semi-sphere and AC: combined custom built) having different types in Jeju marine ranching area. The survey system consisted of scientific echo sounder (EK60), DGPS system, and ECDIS (Mecys). Field survey was conducted on August and October 2012 with star survey and line transect survey line method, and species composition was investigated from gill net fishing survey. The acoustic signals from individual fishes and small fish schools were mainly recorded around AO, but large and strong signals from large fish school were mainly detected in the top layer of and the water column near AC. The echogram suggest that the fish aggregation for the two types of AO and AC exist the significant difference in fish species and spatial distribution pattern.

일반적인 수산자원조성사업은 인위적인 환경수용력 및 수산자원의 증대를 통해 어장생산성 향상, 수산물의 안정적 공급, 다양한 바다 이용 수요에의 대응을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이중 대표적인 자원조성사업중의 하나가 인공어초어장 조성이다. 인공어초를 이용한 어장의 자원량 생산성은 어초의 구조형태, 시설높이, 시설량, 배치형태, 어초 간의 거리 등 많은 요인에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 이러한 관점에서 최근 인공어초어장 조성을 위해 일반어초로 선정된 인공어초를 대상으로 시설기준 및 현실태를 살펴보고 그 효과를 평가하기 위한 해석방법을 고찰하였다.

This study is for the multi-dimensional analysis of diverse data sets for artificial reefs off the coast of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan. Various data sets recorded in artificial reefs ground were integrated in new GIS software: to reveal the relationships between water temperature and fish schools; to visualize the quantitative connection between the reefs and the fish schools; and to compare the seabed types derived from two different data sources. The results obtained suggest that the application of GIS in analyzing multi-dimensional data is a better way to understand the characteristics of fish schools and environmental information around artificial reefs and particularly in the evaluation of the effectiveness of artificial reefs.

Underwater CCTV camera systems are increasingly replaced the traditional net approach of assessing the species, numbers and aggregation patterns of marine animals distributing around the artificial reefs installed in the inshore fishing grounds, in particular, in relation to the biological investigation of behavior and distribution patterns of target fishes. In relation to these needs, we developed a multi-directional underwater CCTV camera system to use in detecting and tracking marine animals in the artificial reef ground. The marine targets to be investigated were independently tracked by using a camera module toward the bottom and four camera modules installed in the interval of 90˚ in horizontal plane and inclination of 45˚ in vertical plane of the CCTV system without the overlap of video frames by each camera module. From the results of several field tests at sea, we believe that the developed multi-directional underwater CCTV camera system will contribute to a better understanding in evaluating the effect of artificial reefs installed in the inshore fishing grounds.

Hydro-acoustic survey was carried out to estimate a fish distribution at marine ranching area and aggregated fish schools at artificial reef area in Oeyeondo, Korea. The survey system was set up with DGPS system, scientific echo sounder (EK60, Simrad Co.), and ECDIS (Mecys. Co. LTD). A track survey and a random survey was respectively applied to the marine ranching area (474.4ha) and to the artificial reef area (within a radius of 300m). As the result, fish distribution and MVBS values in marine ranching area showed that created fisheries resources didn't come to be abundant yet as to appear fish distribution in all of the area. In the artificial reef area, it was, however, able to detect many fish school signals on the top of and around artificial reefs and to confirm the luring effect of artificial reefs.

This study was investigated seasonal variation and species composition of fish species at artificial reefs (octangle three-stage compartment type and dice type)and natural rock in the Shinyang-Ri coastal waters off Jeju Island with visual census method in January 2009, April 2009, July 2009, September 2009, December 2009, March 2010, June 2010, and September 2010. A total of 44 fish species was occurred, and the dominant fish species were Apogon semilineatus, Chromis notata, Trachurus japonicus, Sebastes thompsoni and Apogon doederleini. The number of individuals of fishes was higher at April 2009 and March 2010, however, lower at June 2010 and September 2010. The number of fish speices was higher at artificial reefs than those of at natural rock. Apogon semilineatus was dominant at octangle three-stage compartment type and the dice type artificial reefs, whereas Chromis notata was for natural rock. These results indicated that artificial reefs were good habitats for a variety of fish species in the Shinyang-Ri coastal waters off Jeju Island.

Species of fish such as striped beakperch, bluefin searobin and konoshiro gizzard shad are commercially very important due to their high demand in the Korean market. When estimating acoustically the abundance of stocks for these species, it is of crucial importance to know the target strength (TS) to the length dependence. In relation to these needs, the TS experiments were conducted on three different species in an acrylic salt water tank using two split-beam echo sounders of 70 and 120 kHz. The TS for these three species under the controlled condition was simultaneously measured with the swimming movement by a DVR system and analyzed as a function of fish length (L) and frequency (or wavelength λ). The equation of the form TS=a log (L)+b log (λ)+c was derived for their TS-length dependence. The best fit regression of TS on fork length for striped beakperch was estimated as TS=35.67 log (L, m) -15.67 log (λ, m) -46.69 (r2=0.78). Furthermore, the best fit regression of TS on fork length for konoshiro gizzard shad was shown to be TS=25.85 log (L, m) -5.85 log (λ, m) -32.22 (r2=0.51). The averaged TS for 12 bluefin searobins with a mean length of 24.36cm at 70 kHz was analyzed to be -41.55dB. In addition, the averaged tilt angle obtained simultaneously by a DVR system with TS measurements for 27 konoshiro gizzard shads swimming within an acrylic salt water tank was estimated at -2.7˚.
