In order to elucidate the mechanism of fishing condition variation of anchovy in the set net fisheries of Anggang Bay, the monthly catch of anchovy was analyzed and examined based on the data acquired from 2006 to 2010 in 13 different fishing grounds. Anchovy consistently appeared from April to December and reached the production of 840 to 1,424 t (average : 1,228 t), with a big annual variation. However, anchovy production in this area accounts for approximately 75% of the production by set net in Anggang Bay whereas it holds 6.8% of the nationwide production (=18,034 t) by set net. The school of anchovy starts to appear in April at the west mouth of the bay and move north-eastward. Afterward, having three of clockwise turns in the middle of the bay, they scatter to swim into the deep place of the bay and finally go out to turn back to their coming way. These behaviors of anchovy are likely related to thermal fronts as well as distributions of food. The production of anchovy (y, kg) relied greatly on frequencies of effective northeasterly (x1) or northwesterly (x2) wind (≤3.5m/s) which blow between April and June. Their relationships are as follows: y=1086.27+21.499x1-15.16x2 (r=0.901). Consequently, we concluded that the northeasterly wind, which appears in the breeding season of spring, played a role to retard the movement of anchovy school to the eastern sea, while the northwesterly wind inhibits the invasion of anchovy school into the bay.

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.

In order to offer data about fisheries resources management and prediction of catch on large purse seine fisheries, the fluctuation of the fisheries condition and distributions of fishing ground for mackerel were analysed with monthly catch data for 1990.2009. The overall catch has decreased to about 70% since 1997, with approximately 70% of the mackerel (Scomber japonicus) catch and monthly fluctuations showing a similar pattern. Monthly distribution of fishing ground is like distribution of mackerel in large purse seine fishery. The main fishing grounds are near Jeju Island and the Yellow sea with the main fishing season existing between October to December. The catches fluctuations and distribution of fishing ground were related to the effect of regime shifts. Therefore, in order to prediction of catch on large purse seine fisheries should be studied these relationships.

This paper was concentrated on the distribution and the composition of lost fishing gear on the sea bed around yellow croaker fishing ground in the near sea of Jeju, Korea from April to October 2009 in order to improve the fishery environment. Recovering lost fishing gears was carried out total 10 times with a trawlnet along the isobath. As the result, it seems reasonable to conclude that the amount of lost fishing gear has a deep connection with the dip of the sea bed as well as the fishing gear scale, fishing ground and so on. The amount of recovered lost fishing gears were in order of gillnets, dragged gears, traps and ropes. In particular, traps were recovered almost every time within the survey area.

The forming of fishing ground and the population ecological characteristics of yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, in the coastal waters off Gim-nyeong of Jeju Island were investigated. The stock of yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, between Jeju Island and coastal areas of the East Sea is probably the same. Water temperature probably is a major factor for controlling distribution of yellowtails in deeper, offshore areas off Jeju Island. However, the major factor that determines aggregation of yellowtails in coastal areas of Jeju Island, especially off Gim-nyeong is probably strong tidal currents driven by distribution of yellowtails rather than hydrological conditions such as Yellowtails collected off Jeju Island were from 1 to 4yrs old and about 50% of them were 1-yr old, probably indicating overfishing. Jack mackerel was the major prey item for yellowtails off Gim-nyeong from October to March, suggesting concurrence of the two species.

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˚.

굴 양식 산업은 우리나라의 대표적인 양식수산업으로서 중요한 역할을 수행하여 왔지만, 최근에는 수출 감소, 국내 내수시장 소비의 한계, 양식 환경 악화와 같은 여러 문제에 직면하여 있다. 적정하고 지속적인 굴 생산은 어장환경의 공간정보를 기반으로 하는 적지 선정을 통하여 달성 가능하고, 양식장의 적지 선정은 양식장의 성공적 개발에 중요한 열쇠이며, 지속가능한 개발에 절대적 영향을 미친다. 이 연구는 GIS 기반의 다중 평가 방법을 이용하여 수하식 굴 양식장의 적지를 규명하고자 하였다. 대부분의 인자들은 GIS에서 보간법에 의해 추출되었고, 여덟 개의 환경 인자들이 두 가지 기본 서브모델로 그룹화 되었다. 이는 굴 성장에 관련된 인자(수온, 염분, 해수유동, 클로로필 a)와 양식장 주변 환경에 관련된 인자(저층 DO, 총유기탄소, 퇴적물 산휘발성 황화물, 저서군집 다양도) 등으로 구성되어 있다. 적합 점수는 가장 적지인 8점에서부터 가장 적합하지 못한 1 점까지의 규모로 가점되었으며, 총 80.1%의 잠재 지역이 가장 높은 점수 5점과 6점으로 채점되었다. 이 지역들이 거제한산만에서 굴 양식을 위한 가장 최적의 조건을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 GIS 기반의 적지 선정 기법은 공간적인 의사 결정을 지원함으로서 어장관리시스템으로 활용될 수 있다.

The fisheries resources by a set net in the coastal waters off Neungpo, Goeje Island from 2003 to 2004 were studied to determine species composition and catch variation. The main fishing period by a set net were from April to December in 2003 and from May to December in 2004. A total weight of 48 species caught through the survey period was 540,688.0kg. Most of them were 44 species of fishes and a few were 4 species of cephalopods. Dominant species was Trachurus japonicus accounting to 57.5% in total catch. Sub-dominant species were Trichiurus lepturus(12.9%), Engraulis japonicus(10.6%), Scomber japonicus(6.9%), Clupea pallasii(4.5%), Todarodes pacificus(2.8%) and Parapristipoma trilineaturm(1.3%). The remnant species showed a low catch, indicating the catch had less than 1% in total, respectively. T. japonicus and T. lepturus were caught throughout the survey period, but C. pallasii, Gadus macrocephalus, Oncorhynchus keta in low temperature season and Thunnus obesus in high temperature season. The fishing ground temperature was 11.7-24.0℃ in range and the catch by a set net was higher in autumn than in spring and in summer with the variation of fishing ground temperature. The annual catch by a set net was much higher in 2004 than in 2003 due to high temperature(〉17℃) and the recruitment of T. japonicus from offshore seas. Therefore we concluded that the catch of Neungpo fishing ground by a set net was highly related to the variation of T. japonicus catch with fishing ground temperature.

본 논문은 수산자원보호구역의 효과적이고 합리적인 관리방향에 대한 정책수립 지원라 체계적인 어장환경실태조사 시스템 구축을 위한 사전 진단적 연구접근으로서 수산자원보호구역에서 계절별로 장기적으로 모니터링된 국가해양환경측정망 등의 자료를 이용해서 어장환경의 실태와 변화를 분석하고 평가하였다. 어장환경은 오염이 진행되었거나 진행 중인 것으로 진단되었는데, 각 영역별로 수질과 저질 오염특성이 다소 다르게 나타나서 오염원과 이용실태 및 지형적 특성 등 제반 환경요소를 고려한 맞춤형 수질관리방안 수립이 요구되었다. 또한, 보호구역의 지정면적은 점차적으로 변화되어 왔는데, 2003년도와 처음 시정시의 면적을 비교해 볼 때, 총 면적변화는 -22.9~2.4% 범위로 완도 도암만은 약 2.4% 정도 미미한 증가를 보였지만, 전체 구역은 평균 약 6.4%가 감소하였고, 한산만이 가장 큰 비율로 감소하였다. 전체 면적 중 육역이 약 6.1%, 해역이 약 6.6%가 감소되었지만, 2008년 시 군별로 고시된 상황을 종합적으로 고려하면 지정면적의 감소는 대부분 육역인 것으로 사료 되었다. 보호구역의 환경을 양호하게 유지하고 효과적인 관리정책을 수립하기 위해서는 실효적인 수질관리방안 뿐만 아니라 개발 및 이용실태 파악을 위한 조사와 데이터(정보)관리가 체계적으로 이루어지고 해역별로 종합 관리할 필요가 있을 것이다. 아울러 각종 관련 법률을 정비 보완해서 조사, 평가, 협의 등 관리방향과 관련된 요소를 일관성있고 체계적으로 정립할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

In order to efficiently manage the coastal and offshore fishing ground, the applicability of real-time monitering was also investigated through a wide-area network of automatic identification system(AIS). The experiment of efficiently managing coastal and offshore fishing ground with a wide-area network of AIS required, on the headquarter's screen, a synthetic display of vessel information transmitted from three different distant stations. This experiment tested the applicability of real-time monitoring with the shown display. The maximum range of detection of the first station in Busan was 24 nautical miles while those of the second and third stations in Yeosu and Jeju were 26 and 52 nautical miles, respectively.

A study on the species composition and seasonal variations of fishery creatures caught by a funnel net was carried out in the coastal water off Dolsan Island, Yeosu from 2002 to 2003. During the study period, a total of 23 fishery creatures species were caught. Seabream(Acanthopagrus schlegeli), sea bass(Lateolabrax japonicus), mullet(Mugil cephalus), puffer(Takifugu niphobles) and rockfish(Sebastes inermis) predominated. These five species accounted for 85.1% of the total number of fishery creatures caught. Seasonal peaks of number of species occurred in summer, while those of number of individuals occurred in autumn. The lowest number of species and individuals were observed in winter. The large annual variation of diversity indices were observed from May to August. These large annual variation of diversity indices were mainly due to predominance of seabream, sea bass and mullet which accounted for most of all fishery creatures caught. The seasonal variations of fishery creatures showed that sea bass and mullet were caught mainly from spring to summer, seabream and puffer were caught mainly in autumn, and rockfish and brotula(Hoplobrotula armata) were caught mainly in winter.

강굴의 자원조성을 위한 생물학적 기초자료를 얻고자 서식어장별 수온과 염분이 강굴의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 서식어장별 수온 범위는 3.5~26.2℃의 범위로 각 정점간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 염분의 경우 2.6~29.5 psu의 범위로서 배알도에서 가장 높은 염분농도를 나타내었으며, 상류지역인 돈탁에서 가장 낮은 염분농도를 나타내었다. 비만도의 경우 다른 지역에 비해 상류지역인 돈탁에서 가장 높았다. 비만도는
