This study aims to estimate the trawl net width based on the design drawing and towing condition of sampling trawl used in past surveys to improve the accuracy of estimation for fishery resources. To this end, the trawl gear was modeled as a flexible structure and numerically analyzed, and the analysis results were subjected to multiple regression analysis. As a result, a model was derived to calculate the net width by the towing conditions. When the towing conditions from past surveys were input into this model, it was confirmed that the net width increased in a natural logarithmic manner with the increase in the warp length and that decreased linearly as the water depth increased at the same warp length. For verification of the model, the theoretical formula of other study and this model were compared. As a result, despite the values of the two were slightly different, the tendency of changing net width by increasing warp length was consistent each other. Therefore, it is thought that the derived model can obtain the net width according to various towing conditions and can contribute to improving the accuracy of fishery resources estimation.

The United States enforces the seafood import regulations so-called the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and by 2023, all exports of aquatic products and processed fish products by fisheries which have not obtained an “Comparability Finding” from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be completely banned. Therefore, to respond to the US MMPA, it is critical to identify technologies and methods used in worldwide for reducing bycatch of marine mammals. In particular, marine mammals are frequently caught in five fisheries (trawl, gill net, trap, stow net and set net) in Korea, which is facing a great challenge. This study presented bycatch reduction methods by five fisheries, classified the methods by country, and suggested appropriate reduction methods which can be applied in Korea.

The species composition and abundance variations of fishery resources in the adjacent marine ranching area, Tongyeong, Korea, were investigated by shrimp trawl, gill net, and longline during the period of July, September, and October in 2016. During the study period, the total catch were 8,522.9 kg with 34 species from the shrimp trawl, 32 species from the gill net, and nine species from the longline. The dominant species were different by gear, which were Hypodytes rubripinnis and Parapercis sexfasciata in the shrimp trawl, Platycephalus indicus and Raja kenojei in the gill net, and Conger myriaster and Scomber Japonicus in the longline. In terms of spatial distribution, Yongchodo showed the highest total catch in number as well as of in weight while Jukdo showed the lowest total catch in number and Bijindo showed the lowest total catch in weight. The amount of demersal fish resources in the survey area estimated as 301 ha, was 99,396 individuals which was converted to be 8,552.9 kg. The amount of demersal fish resources by gear were of trawling area, which area is 127 ha, were 76,251 and 3,489.5 kg, 74 ha in the gill net and longline survey area was 16,213 and 3,457.3 kg, and the other 100 ha area was 6,932 and 1,606.1 kg. In this study, the minimum resources for demersal fish is 61,687 and 4,265.2 kg, and the maximum is 149,439 and 14,197.9 kg.

The study aims at a selective effect of the Grid and Window net in the shrimp beam trawl.The experimental trawling of the Proto type, Grid type and Grid and Window net type was performed in a sea area of Geo–je and Tong–yeong from Mar, 2006 to Apr, 2010. The obtained results are as follows; Catch per unit area (Number) of the Proto type net and Grid type net were 0.18/m2, 0.23/m2, respectively. The Grid type demonstrated 2.4% lower bycatch rate than the proto type (6.6% vs 4.2%, respectively). In addition, in terms of total weight, the bycatch rate of Grid type was 7.6% lower than the proto type (50.2% vs 42.6%, respectively). In the comparison of shrimp catch, the Proto type demonstrated better haul outcome (0.02 case/m2) than the Grid & Window type (0.02 case/m2). The Grid & Window net type demonstrated 16.4% lower bycatch rate than the Proto type (32.2% vs 48.6%, respectively). In addition, in terms of total weight, the bycatch rate of Grid & Window net type was 8.3% lower than the Proto type (85.9% vs 94.2% respectively).

Selectivity and by-catch are the main features used to define fish catch for fisheries management or to determine fishing gear efficiency. A fish girth distribution analysis was carried out to determine the retention rate of juveniles discarded and to establish common selectivity for a multispecies catch. Total body length, body weight, and girth of juvenile fish retained in the cod-end and cover net separately were collected using an 18-mm mesh cover net during 12 fishing trials with a 41-mm cod-end beam trawl. The by-catch weight ratio in the cod-end was twice that of the by-catch ratio in number. The 50% selectivity of body length and 50% girth of redfin velvet fish were not significantly different between the cod-end and cover net, whereas those of other fish species were significantly different between the cod-end and cover net. The difference in 50% selectivity girth of other fish between the cod-end and cover net was similar between cod-end mesh size and cover net mesh size. Furthermore, the difference in 50% body length selectivity of other fish between the cod-end and cover net was almost double the difference in girth. Girth selectivity in a multispecies catch using towed fishing gear was effectively used to determine fish and net mesh size.

Shrimp beam trawl fishery is one of the important coastal fisheries in Korea. It has a regulation to the length of beam (8m) and wing net (7m) of shrimp beam trawl that has been used in the district of Junlanam-do and Gyungsangnam-do. This regulation was made in relation to the size of shrimp beam trawler of 3-ton class at that time. Now the shrimp beam fishing vessel has a limit not greater than 5 tons in gross ton. Recently, with improvement of fishing industry and fishing vessel fishermen asked the expansion of the length of beam and wing net, therefore it is necessary to investigate the effect of lengthening the beam and wing net length. Three different beams (8m, 10m and 12m in length) and three different wing net (7m, 10m and 13m in length) were made and the experiment was conducted near Narodo of Goheng by two fishing vessels of 4.98 and 4.88 tons in gross ton between June 2011 and October 2012. When the length of wing net was increased from 7m to 10m and 13m, the relative catch ratio in total biomass was increased 25% and 79% for shrimp, (17% and 22% in total), respectively. And when the beam length was increased from 8m to 10m and 12m, the relative catch ratio was increased 35% and 84% for shrimp, (21% and 37% in total), respectively. The force exerted to the iron guide of inhauler’s with the beam length of 8m was about 30% greater than that with the beam length of 10m when hauling the shrimp beam trawl net.

The experiments were carried out to decide the selective fishing gear of the shrimp beam trawl fishery. The model nets were made of General type, Double-level type and Grid type. The model experiments were carried out to test opening efficiency and towing tension. The experimental tanks were the flume tank〔8.0L×2.8W×1.4H (m)〕and the towing tank〔85L×10W×3.5H (m)〕in National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. The full scale experiments were carried out to compare the selectivity of General type net, Double-level type net and Grid type net in the southern sea of korea.The vertical opening (net height) of the model nets can be expressed as a function of the towing velocity as the straight line. The towing tension of the model nets can be expressed as a function of the towing velocity as the parabola.The shrimp catching rates of upper cod end in Boryeong and tongyeong were 78%, 9% respectively, but the rates of lower cod end were 23%, 91% respectively. The number bycatch rates of General type and Grid type were 23%, 11% respectively, and the weight bycatch rates were 34%, 31% respectively. A selective shrimp beam trawl net is Grid type in korea coastal sea.

In order to describe the performance of a wedge type jellyfish excluder device, a series of fishing experiments was carried out in the coastal areas of Yokji Island, southern Korea in 2009, using a trawl net with a cover net. The body size and weight of each individual (fish or jellyfish) caught in the experimental fishing were measured. In the case of giant jellyfish the bell diameter and weight were measured. The catch species was composed of giant jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai), silver croaker (Pennahia argentata), yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactics), finespotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus), largehead hairtail (Trichiuruslepturus), melon seed (Psenopsisanomala) and so on. The weight ratio and individual ratio of total fish escaped through the outlet of the excluder device were 0.322 and 0.320, respectively. The weight ratios of giant jellyfish excluded from the trawl net ranged from 0.740 to 0.921 (average 0.852/haul). It means that the wedge type jellyfish excluder device performed well and allowed the most of the giant jellyfish to exclude through the trawl net. The approximately 70% of fish entered in trawl net was caught. The wedge type excluder device needs some improvements to minimize the fish escape from the trawl nets in the future.

Sea experiment for this study was carried out to develop a Trawl Escapement Net(TEN) using net material to improve the survival rate of undersized fishes that escaped from trawls in the Korean southern sea in May and November, 2005. Three kinds of Trawl Escapement Net(TEN) were examined to increase the escapement rate for fishes escaped from the TEN, and total catches in the codend and cover-net were investigated. The main catch species in the experimental fishing trials using a V shape TEN(A type) in May were Korean pomfret(Pampus echinogaster), slimy(Leiognathus nuchalis), gizzard shad(Konosirus punctatus), white croaker(Pennahia argentata) and smelt(Sillago sihama). In the experimental fishing trials using a V shape TEN with a protector for undersized fishes(B type) and a panel shape TEN with a protector(C type) in November, the main catch species were horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus), sea pike (Sphyraena japonica), large-head hairtail(Trichiurus lepturus), kammal thryssa(Thryssa kammalensis), white croaker(Pennahia argentata), butterfish(Psenopsis anomala) and red gurnard(Lepidotrigla microptera). Most of large-sized fish species like Korean pomfret and Spanish mackerel could not escape through the TEN in the B type and C type. Catches of horse mackerel were highest in the experimental fishing of November and escapement rates for most fish species including horse mackerel were higher in the C type compared with B type.

The purpose of this study is to develop the jellyfish separator system(JSS) for reducing fishery damage by the increase of jellyfish in the sea area of Korea in summer. First of all, to find the optimum structure of a JSS, six types of JSS in trawl fishery were designed and manufactured, the underwater shape of JSS and the separating process by JSS were observed in the circulating water channel(CWC). And the field experiments were carried out in July and September 2004 in the southern sea of Korea. For the moving path of the jellyfish model in the CWC, in case that the model was larger than the mesh size of the separator net, it was guided toward the lower part of the separator net by the guiding net and discharged through the outlet. In case that the model was smaller than the mesh size of the separator net, some models which passed through the upper part of the guiding net were smaller than the mesh size of the guiding net and discharged through the outlet and most of the model which passed through the lower part of the guiding net moved to the codend passing through the separator net. According to the field experiment result, the optimum tilt angle of separator net was inferred 20˚ that the discharge rate of jellyfish was higher than the other tilt angle of separator net and the optimum structure of JSS was inferred GS type(consists of guiding net and separator net) that the discharge rate of jellyfish was higher than S type(consists of separator net). It was demamded to carry out more study for the countermeasure to reduce loss of fish.

A model experiment, simulation test using personal computer and real sea trial fishing were carried out to investigate the basic efficiency of bottom trawl net which can be used in the sea mount of North West Pacific, and experimental values were analyzed as the values of full-scale bottom trawl net. Hydrodynamic resistance for the full-scale trawl net according to the Koyama equation was 2.1 times higher than that of simulation and 2.4 times higher than that of model experiment at the average towing velocity. At the 3.5kt's of towing speed, net width of the full-scale trawl net was 2.5% smaller than that of simulation and 8.2% larger than that of model experiment. On the fishing experiment of the full-scale trawl net for the 3.5kt's of average towing speed, average net height of A group(same direction with external force) was 423.5% higher than that of model experiment and 457.1% higher than that of simulation and that of B group(opposite direction with external force) were 283.8% and 306.3% higher than in case of model experiment and Simulation respectively. Net mouth of the full-scale trawl net was 338.1-504.6% higher than those of model experiment and simulation in A group, and 525.2-745.3% higher in B group.

A model experiment using circulation water channel was carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of bottom trawl net which can be used in sea mount of North Pacific. Hydrodynamic resistance and shape variation according to the flow velocity and angle of hand rope transformation for net were measured, and experimental value was analyzed as the value of full-scale bottom trawl net. The results summarized are as follows; At the 30˚ of angle of hand rope to net, hydrodynamic resistance varied from 0.5kgf to 2.68kgf as the flow velocity increased between 0.31m/s and 0.92m/s, and formula of hydrodynamic resistance for the model net was Fm=3.04 · r1.53. At the fixed angle of hand rope, Net height was low and Net width was high according to the increase of flow velocity, and in addition, vertical opening was low and Net width was high by the increase of angle of hand rope at the fixed flow velocity. At the 30˚ of angle of hand rope to net, net opening area was 0.214m2 as flow velocity was 0.61m/s, and formula of net opening area for the model net was Sm=-0.22r+0.35. At the 30˚ of angle of hand rope to net, catch efficiency seemed to be highest as 0.319m3/s of filtering volume at the 0.76m/s(51kt's) of flow velocity. Shape variation of net showed the gradual laminar transform for the variation of flow velocity but there needed some improvements due to the occurrence of shortening at the ahead of wing net.

The aim of this study was to develope a fishing technology for fisheries management for improving the survival rate of young fishes escaped from trawl net. Sea experiments were carried out to investigate the survival rate of the fishes in off Geomun island and Korean southern sea. Cover-net fish cage was designed and manufactured to collect fishes escaped from COD(codend) and TED(trawl escapement device). Fish cage was installed in a shallow site where scuba diver can observe the surviving fishes after separating the cage from trawl net. Most of fishes except horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) and mackerel(Scomber japonicus) could escaped through TED(bar space 35mm) easier than COD(mesh size 54mm). Especially, escapement rate of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) escaped from TED was the highest as 73.9%. Survival rate of horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) escaped from TED was 85.5% at the point of 96 hours over, while the survival rate for COD showed a rapid decrease according to the time elapse as 85.0% at the point of 24 hours, 76.4% for 48 hours, 62.7% for 72 hours and 56.1% for 96 hours. Over 90% of red seabream(Pagrus major) and rock bream(Oplegnathus fasciatus) escaped from TED were survived 96 hours over and the survival rate of those fishes were excellent compared with the other fish species. All korean pomfret(Pampus echinogaster) escaped from both COD and TED were died within 48 hours. Most of redlip croaker(Pseudosciaena polyactis) were also died within 12 hours because of the weak physiological characteristics by water pressure change. Survival rate of fishes like as horse mackerel(Trachurus japonicus) having hard skin was high while it was low for the fishes like as squid(Todarodes pacificus) and hair-tail(Trichiurus lepturus) having soft skin. We could know that there were big differences in the survival rate offish species escaped from trawl net.

무부자망은 망구의 전개 및 예망시 중저층에서의 예방수심 조절이 효과적이었지만, 표층～30m에서는 예망이 어렵다는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 이것을 극복하기 위하여 카이트(Kite)의 적용을 검토한 것으로 무부자 쌍끌이 중층망의 뜸줄에 연결된 대형망목부에 부분적으로 카이트를 부착하여 회류수조에서 모형실험으로 그 전개성능을 비교 조사하고 우리나라 쌍끌이 중층망에 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 예망수심은 카이트망이 기준형과 무부자망보다 유속별 예망수심이 모두 상승하였으며, 실제 조업시의 예망속도 4.9knot일때는 기준으로 2개의 카이트를 부착했을 때는 약 20m였고, 4개의 카이트를 부착했을 때는 약 5m였다. 또한, 카이트망의 추와 날개 끝 추의 무게가 증가함에 따른 예망수심의 변화는 거의 없었으며, 발줄의 깊이만 각각 약15m와 10m 침강하였다. 그리고, 아래끌줄의 길이(dL)의 증가에 따른 예망수심의 변화는 없었고, 발줄의 깊이만 약 22m 침강하였다. 2. 유체저항은 유속이 2.0～5.0knot로 증가함에 따라 거의 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 그 증가율은 유속이 증가함에 따라 커지는 경향을 보였다. 또, 카이트망의 유체저항은 무부자망과 기준형에 비해 약 5～10ton 더 컸다. 그리고, 카이트망의 유체저항은 4.0knot를 기준으로 추의 무게가 1.40～3.50ton 으로 증가할 때 약 3ton, 날개끝 추의 무게가 0～1.11ton으로 증가할 때 약 4ton 증가하였으며, 아래끌줄의 길이(dL)가 0～40m로 증가할 때 유체저항은 약 5.5ton 증가하였다. 3. 망고는 4.0knot를 기준으로 카이트의 면적이 2,270mm2(2kite)에서; 4,540mm2(4kite)로 증가할 때 약 10m 증가하였으며, 카이트의 면적이 4,540mm2(4kite)일 때 기준망보다는 약 50m, 무부자망보다는 약 30m 증가하였다. 망폭의 변화는 모든 경우에서 유속의 변화에 따라 5m 내외로 거의 일정하였다. 4. 여과량은 카이트망이 기준형과 무부자망에 비해 유속이 2.0knot일 때는 약 28%, 34% 더 컸으며, 3.0knot일 때는 약 42%, 41%이었고, 4.0knot일 때는 약 62%, 45%이었으며, 5.0knot일 때는 약 74%, 54%로 더 컸다. 각 어구별 적정 예망속도는 뜸이 있는 기준형은 약 3.0knot, 무부자망은 4.0knot이상 이였으며, 카이트망은 5.0knot 이상에서도 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 5. 망구면적당 유체저항의 비는 기준형, 무부자형, 카이트망의 순으로 전개효율은 카이트망이 가장 우수하였으며 다음으로 무부자망, 기준형의 순이었다. 실제 예망속도인 4.0knot를 기준으로 카이트망은 기준형에 비해서는 약50%, 무부자형에 비해서는 약 25%로 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

무부자 쌍끌이 중층망은 유속에 관계없이 뜸줄은 거의 일직선으로 유지되고 뜸줄의 깊이 변화가 없었다 또한, 뜸이 없기 때문에 부력은 작용하지 않지만 아래 끌줄의 길이를 조절함으로써 망고를 유지할 수 있었다. 그리고, 무부자 썽끌이 중층망의 전개성능은 발줄의 침자 외에도 추(Front weight)와 날개끝 추(Wing-end weight)의 침강력을 증가시킴으로써 더욱 향상될 수 있었다. 연구는 회류수조에서의 모형실험을 통하여 무부자쌍끌이 중층망의 추와 날개끝 추의 무게에 따른 전개 성능을 규명하고 그 결과를 기준형과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유체저항은 유속이 2.0∼5.0knot로 증가함에 따라 거의 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 느린 유속에서는 저항의 증가폭이 작지만, 유속이 빠를 때는 저항의 증가폭이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 추의 무게 및 날개끝 추의 무게의 증가함에 따라서도 유체저항은 증가 하였다. 2. 망고는 유속이 증가함에 따라 거의 직선적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 망고의 감소율은 기준형보다 무부자망이 낮았다. 추의 무게가 0.70ton 에서 1.75ton으로 증가할 때 각 단계별로 약 2m씩, 날개끝 추의 무게가 0.28ton에서 1.11ton으로 증가할 때 각 단계별로 약 1m씩 각각 망고가 증가하였다. 망폭은 기준형보다 모든 무부자망이 약 10m 정도 더 컸으며, 추와 날개끝 추의 무게가 증가햄에 따라 그 변화폭은 2m 내외로 거의 일정하였다. 3. 망구면적은 추의 무게가 1.75ton 일 때, 날개끝 추의 무게가 1.11ton일 때 최대가 되었고 유속이 2.0∼3.0knot에서는 무부자망이 기준형보다 작았으나, 4.0-5.0knot에서는 무부자망이 기준형보다 더컸다. 4. 여과량은 기준형에서는 3.0knot일 때, 무부자망에서는 4.0knot일 때 각각 최대가 되었으며, 추의 적정무게는 1.40ton이었다. 팀은 환자가 원하는 영적 간호를 실시하도록 체계적인 접근 방법을 강구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.된다. 통하여 움직임 감소 장치를 사용함으로써 내부 장기 중 횡격막 움직임의 범위가 감소함과 동시에 CTV-PTV 마진이 크게 줄어드는 결과를 확인하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 흉부 또는 복부에 종양을 가진 환자 치료 시 더욱 질 높은 방사선 치료가 실현될 것으로 기대한다. 30∼40％ 정도 느렸고, 퍼레니얼라이그라스도 퍼레니얼라이그라스 100％ 단일종류에 비해 20∼30％정도 늦었다. 따라서, 뗏장 재배시 여러 종류의 초종을 천편일률적으로 혼합하여 파종하는 것은 바람직하지 않으며, 컨셉에 따라 적절하게 초종 및 품종을 선택해서 사용하는 것이 필요하다. 5. 뗏장의 뿌리 형성 능력은 퍼레니얼라이그라스가 가장 좋았고, 가장 저조한 초종은 켄터키블루그라스였다. 톨훼스큐는 켄터키블루그라스와 퍼레니얼라이그라스의 중간정도로 나타났다. 혼합구의 뗏장 형성 능력은 초종의 혼합비에 따라 뿌리 형성력 차이가 다르게 나타났는데, 특히 퍼레니얼라이그라스 혼합비율이 많을수록 뿌리 형성 능력은 증가하였다. 6. 뗏장 수확시 잔디 품질은 단일 초종구의 품질이 혼합구에 비해 양호하였는데 가장 우수한 초종은 켄터키블루그라스였고, 톨훼스큐는 켄터키블루그라스 다음으로 중간정도, 그리고 퍼레니얼라이그라스는 가장 저조하였다. 켄터키블루그라스는 균일한 잔디 면, 고밀도 및 예초 후 상태가 우수한 특성으로 품질이 양호하였고, 퍼레니얼라이그라스의 품질이 저조하였던 것은 초장이 길어 잔디 면이 누운 상태로 나타나 균일도 저하 및 예초 후 품질이 켄터키블루그라스나 톨훼스큐 보다 떨어지기 때문이다. 그리고 혼합구의 품질은 여러 종류가 혼합됨으로 인해 색상 및 밀도의 균일도가 떨어지고, 또한 예초 시 물결처럼 불균일하게 깎여 잔디 표면이 불량하였기 때문이었다. 7. 골프장이나 경기장 기본 설계 시 초기 피복도 및 뿌리 형성력이

본 연구는 현재 국내에서 사용되는 쌍끌이 중층망 어구어법에서 문제점으로 지적되고 있는 고속예망에서 망고의 제어가 어렵다는 점, 망목에 뜸이 걸려서 파망이 자주 일어나는 점, 네트드럼에 감기는 어구부피가 너무 크다는 점 등의 해결방법으로 무부자 쌍끌이 중층망의 모형실험을 통하여 우리 나라 쌍끌이 중층망에 대한 적용 가능성을 검토하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 850ps급 쌍끌이 기선저인망어선에서 현재 사용되는 실물망을 1/100로 축소 제작한 모형망에서 뜸을 모두 제거하고 끌줄을 양쪽으로 각각 두가닥으로 분리한 후 추를 부착하여 아래끌줄의 길이를 조절함으로써 망고를 제어할 수 있는 무부자 쌍끌이 중층망의 모형어구를 제작하여 회류수조에서 유속에 대한 아래끌줄의 길이에 따른 어구의 전개성능 등을 규명하고 기준형과 비교 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유체저항은 무부자망이 기준형보다 약 10∼20%정도 작았으며, 무부자망의 유체저항은 동일유속에서 아래끌줄이 길어짐에 따라 약 1ton씩 증가하였다. 또, 동일유속에서 dL이 10m씩 증가함에 따라 아래끌줄에 작용하는 저항은 약 5%씩 감소하고, 그 반면에 윗 끌줄에 작용하는 저항이 증가하였다. 2. 망고는 직선에 가까운 지수함수적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 동일유속에서 아래끌줄이 길어짐에 따라 증가하여 로그함수적인 경향을 보였다. 또한, 망고감소율은 무부자망의 경우가 기준형보다 작게 나타났으며, 그 차이는 유속이 증가함에 따라 더욱 커져 dL이 30m인 무부자망을 기준으로 3.0knot일 때 12%, 4.0knot일 때 25%로 나타났다. 3. 망폭은 유속이 증가함에 따라 약 2m 내외로 거의 일정하였으며 무부자망이 기준형보다 크게 나타났다. 4. 망구면적은 유속이 증가함에 따라 지수함수적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 망구면적의 감소율은 기준형보다 무부자망이 더 작게 나타났다. 여과량은 유속이 증가함에 따라 로그함수적인 경향을 보였으며 기준형이 3.0knot 이상에서 급격히 감소하였지만, 무부자망은 4.0knot까지 증가하였다가 완만하게 감소하였다. 5. dL의 최대적정길이는 망구면적 및 여과량이 최대인 30m일 때이며, 추의 최적위치는 4개의 그물목줄이 연결되는 지점이었다.

저층트롤 실물 어구를 이용한 해상 실험을 통하여 예망 중인 어구의 망구 형태에 관련되는 전개판의 간격 및 망고 등을 예망 속도별, 끌줄의 길이별로 측정하고, 이론적인 수치 해석 결과와 비교하여 실물어구의 수중 현황을 해석함으로서 어구의 효율적인 운용과 어획효과의 증대를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 수중 현황을 해석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 전개판의 전개간격은 예망 속도와 끌줄길이의 증가에 따라 직선적으로 증가하며 끌줄 길이에 의한 증가율이 예망 속도에 의한 증가율보다 현저히 크게 나타났으며, 그 간격의 변화는 57.0∼82.8m로서 후릿줄과 그물목줄 및 그물길이 전체의 43∼62%를 차지하였다. 2. 망구의 높이는 예망 속도와 끌줄길이의 증가에 따라 직선적으로 감소하며, 예망 속도에 의한 감소율이 끌줄 길이에 의한 감소율보다 현저히 크게 나타났는데 그 높이의 변화는 3.1∼4.0m로 나타났다. 3. 양 날개끝의 간격이 커지면 망고는 낮아지나 끌줄 길이가 증가할수록 날개 끝 간격의 증가에 대한 망구 높이 감소율의 비는 점차 작아졌다. 4. 망고에 대한 양 날개 끝 간격의 비는 예망속도와 끌줄 길이의 증가에 따라 점차 커졌는데, 그 비는 4.17∼7.81로 나타났다.

쌍끌이중층망은 1993년에 우리 나라에 처음으로 도입된 이후 그 보급이 급속하게 확산되어 현재는 대부분의 온 쌍끌이 기선저인망어선이 중층망을 사용하고 있다. 그런데, 이 어구를 운용함에 있어서 망목의 크기가 12,800mm의 것으로 커지면서 어구현황 및 전개성능에 대한 충분한 연구가 이루어지지 않아서 대상어종 및 해양환경에 따른 어구어법과 운용기술의 정립이 미흡하고, 그물목줄의 가닥수가 많으며 뜸이 그물코에 끼여서 파망이나 안전사고의 원인이 된다는 점이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 최대망목 12,800mm인 중층망의 구조적인 결함을 보완하여 설계한 개량형의 모형망을 제작하여 회류수조에서 그물목줄의 길이와 가닥수 및 침강력의 변화에 따른 어구의 전개성능을 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 그물목줄의 길이는 옆줄에 연결된 2번과 3번 목줄의 길이를 현행의 것에 비하여 약 30%를 더 짧게 한 어구의 전개성능이 약 7% 향상되었다. 2. 그물목줄의 가닥수는 4가닥형이 가장 우수하며, 3가닥형, 2가닥형의 순으로 전개성능이 저하되었다. 특히, 2가닥형의 경우에는 유속이 빨라짐에 따라 옆판의 중앙부가 뒤쪽으로 뚜렷하게 처지는 것이 관찰되었다. 3. 침강력을 크게 할수록 어구의 전개성능은 우수해지며, 그물목줄을 3가닥형, 2가닥형으로 하는 경우는 침강력을 4가닥형일 때의 각각 약 1.5배, 1.6∼l.7배 정도로 크게 해 주어야 기존어구와 같은 전개성능을 나타낼 수 있었다.
