To investigate seasonal variation of fisheries resources composition and their correlationships with environmental factors in the coastal ecosystem of the middle Yellow Sea of Korea, shrimp beam trawl were carried out for the fisheries survey. Fisheries resources of 81 species, 57 families, and 6 taxa totally were collected by shrimp beam trawl in the middle coastal ecosystem of Yellow Sea of Korea. Species were included 6 species in Bivalvia, 6 in Cephalopoda, 22 in Crustacea, 2 in Echinodermata, 5 in Gastropoda, and 40 in Pisces. Diversity indices (Shannon index, H') showed seasonal variation with low value of 2.14 in winter, and high value of 2.67 in spring. Main dominant species were Oratosquilla oratoria, Octopus ocellatus, Acanthogobius lactipes, Cynoglossus joyneri, Rapana venosa venosa, Loligo beka, Chaeturichthys stigmatias, Raja kenojei, Microstomus achne and Paralichthys olivaceus, that were occupied over 58% of total individuals, and 55% of wet weight. Fisheries organism made four coordinative seasonal groups by the principal component analysis (PCA), showing stronger seasonal variation than spatial variation. PC from PCA showed statistically significant cross-correlationships with seawater temperature, NH4-N, TP and chlorophyll a (P 〈 0.05).

우리나라 남해안에 대한 어업생물자원의 평가와 관리 및 유효이용방안 등을 모색하기 위한 기초연구로서, 남해안의 전해역에 설정한 생물학적 샘플링 정점을 대상으로 저층트롤에 의한 시험조업을 실시하고, 이들 정점에서 샘플링된 어획물의 생물학적 조성, 計量魚探調査와 관련한 漁獲選擇性의 영향 底棲漁業資源의 분포실태 등을 분석, 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 1996년 10월과 1997년 1월, 3월, 7월~8월, 9월 ~ 10월에 우리나라 남해안에 설정한 64개의 조사정점을 대상으로 저층트롤에 의한 시험조업을 실시한 결과, 魚類 114종, 軟體類 8종, 甲殼類 7종(총 129종)에 총 9,9910.6 kg이 어획되었는 데, 이 중에서 어류의 점유비율은 전갱이 19.8%, 고등어 15.0%, 달강어 6.2%, 전어 6.1%, 병어 5.1%, 아귀 5.1%, 눈볼대 3.6%, 밴댕이 3.5%, 꼼치 3.4%, 꼬치고기 1.4% 등이었고, 甲殼類로서는 깨다시꽃게 0.34%, 보리새우 0.18% 등이었고, 頭足類로서는 창꼴두기 9.0%, 살오징어 5.8%, 참갑오징어 0.28% 등이 어획되었다.2. 1996년 ~ 1997년 사이에 우리나라 남해안에 설정한 트롤조사정점을 대상으로 실시한 저층트롤조업에 의해 어획된 어획량을 트롤예망층의 공간체적으로 나누어 산출한 단위체적당에 대한 어업생물자원의 분포밀도는 해역, 계절, 어획 어종의 조성, 조업시간 등에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내었으나, 그 값은 17.9 x 10-6 ~ 1,440.9 x 10-8kg/m3의 범위였고, 그 평균적인 분포밀도는 153.8 x 10-6kg/m3이었다. 3.우리나라 남해안에 설정한 64개의 조사정점에서 어구의 파망사고 및 조업장애가 없었던 50개의 트롤정점을 대상으로 끝자루와 커버 네트에 의한 어획비율을 조사한 결과, 커버 네트에 의한 어획비율은 0.7 ~ 91.9%의 범위로서, 그 평균적인 어획비율은 44.4%였다. 이처럼 우리나라 남해안에서는 어족자원의 감소 등에 기인하여 소형어의 어획비율이 매우 높은 실정이기 때문에 향후, TAC제도가 도입되는 경우, 조업어선에서는 상품 가치가 적은 이들 소형어를 바다에 그대로 폐기할 우려가 있으므로 소형어의 어획방지와 서식환경의 보호를 위한 대책의 수립이 절실히 요구된다.

The combined hydroacoustic and bottom trawl surveys were conducted in the Cheju southeastern area by the training ship "KAYA" belong to Pukyong National University in July 1995 and the traning ship "NAGASAKI MARl]" belong to Nagasaki University in April 1994, respectively. The main purpose of the investigations was to provide the basic data for the management and the biomass estimation of commercially important demersal fish stocks in this area. Fish samples were collected by bottom trawling from 10 trawl stations randomly selected in the survey area, and the species and length compositions of trawl catches were examined. The fish school target strength for demersal fish aggregations was related to the catchability of trawl net with a 90 mm mesh codend. The most abundant species in the 1995 trawl stations were Japanese flying squid, sword tip squid and red horsehead and that of the 1994 trawl stations Japanese flying squid and blackmouth goosefish. The average weight per cubic meter of trawl catches collected by bottom trawling in the Cheju southeastern area were 1.0791×lO-4kg/m3 in the 1994 survey area and 1.3636×lO-4kg/m3 in the 1995 survey area, respectively. The catch data by cover net suggest that the efficiency of trawl net could affect the weight normalized target strength values for demersal fish aggregations. That is, the average target strength per unit of weight dropped from - 33.1 dB/kg using the total catch by codend and cover net to - 30.5 dB/kg using only the catch data by codend, and a change of2.6 dB/kg was observed.ange of2.6 dB/kg was observed.

Coastal marine ecosystem plays important role of spawning and nursery grounds for fisheries resources. Yongil Bay is one of major coastal marine ecosystems, which is located in the southwestern East Sea of Korea. Species composition and abundance of marine organism in the Yongil Bay were investigated by season from March to November 2009. Gill net and pot fisheries were used for survey of pelagic and demersal species composition, and collected 106 species, 67 families, and 7 taxa of fisheries resources from the coastal ecosystem. Species were included 2 species in Ascidiacea, 2 species in Bivalvia, 6 in Cephalopoda, 22 in Crustacea, 5 in Echinodermata, 12 in Gastropoda, and 57 in Pisces. Diversity indices (Shannon index, H’) showed seasonal variation with low value of 2.11 in winter, and high value of 2.63 in autumn. Main dominant species were Asterias amurensis, Pleuronectes yokohamae, Siphonalia spadicea fuscolineata, Trachurus japonicas, Sillago japonica, Conger myriaster, Volutharpa ampullaceal, Engraulis japonicus, Asterina pectinifera, and Portunus (Portunus) sanguinolentus that were occupied over 71.5% of total individuals, and 52.9% of wet weight. Seasonal variations of fisheries resources composition were discussed on correlationships with those of environmental factors in the coastal ecosystem of the Yongil Bay in Korea. Those results from this study will provide scientific data and information to develop the ecosystem-based coastal fisheries assessment and management system in Korea.
