As a method to understand the ecological habits around the artificial reef, various reports such as fishing gear survey, diving, sound survey, underwater CCTV and camera, etc. are reported. Among them, the sound survey method is carried out by installing an acoustic system on the ship and can be investigated regardless of the marine environment such as time constraints and turbidity. Such method, however, takes a lot of manpower and time as the ship travels at a constant speed. Investigations around artificial reefs are being conducted in an artificial way, and a lot of time and labor are consumed as such. Maritime buoys have been operated for various purposes such as route signs, weather observation, marine environment monitoring and defense monitoring for navigation safety in the past, but studies on monitoring systems for ecological habits and distribution of fish using marine buoys are remarkably insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to develop a system that allows users to directly monitor fish group detector data by estimating the distribution of fish groups around artificial reefs and using wireless communication at sea. In order to confirm the suitability of the maritime buoy used in this study, it was operated to compare data using LTE-equipped buoys capable of wireless communication and a data logger-type system buoy. Data transmission of buoys capable of LTE communication was carried out in a 10-minute ON, 10-minute OFF method due to the limitation of the power supply capacity, and data of the data logger-type buoy received full data. We compared and analyzed the data received from the two fish detectors. It is expected that real-time monitoring of the wireless buoy detection device using LTE will be possible through future research.

As a series of fundamental researches on the development of an automatic identification monitoring system for fishing gear. Firstly, the study on the installation method of automated identification buoy for the coastal improvement net fishing net with many loss problems on the west coast was carried out. Secondly, the study was conducted find out how to install an automatic identification buoy for coastal gill net which has the highest loss rate among the fisheries. GPS for fishing was used six times in the coastal waters around Seogwipo city in Jeju Island to determine the developmental status and underwater behavior to conduct a field survey. Next, a questionnaire was administered in parallel on the type of loss and the quantity and location of fishing gear to be developed and the water transmitter. In the field experiment, the data collection was possible from a minimum of 13 hours, ten minutes to a maximum of 20 hours and ten minutes using GPS, identifying the development status and underwater behavior of the coastal gillnet fishing gear. The result of the survey showed that the loss of coastal net fishing gear was in the following order: net (27.3%), full fishing gear (24.2%), buoys, and anchors (18.2%). The causes were active algae (50.0%), fish catches (33.3%) and natural disasters (12.5%). To solve this problem, the installation method is to attach one and two electronic buoys to top of each end of the fishing gear, and one underwater transmitter at both ends of the float line connected to the anchor. By identifying and managing abnormal conditions such as damage or loss of fishing gear due to external factors such as potent algae and cutting of fishing gear, loss of fishing gear can be reduced. If the lost fishing gear is found, it will be efficiently collected.

In this paper, numerical modeling is conducted to analyze the tension of an anchor line by varying the size and drag coefficient of a buoy when the trapnet is influenced by the wave and the current simultaneously. A mass-spring model was used to analyze the behavior of trapnet underwater under the influence of waves and current. In the simulation of numerical model, wave height of 3, 4, 5 and 6 m, a period of 4.4 s, and the flow speed of 0.7 m/s were used for the wave and current condition. The drag coefficients of buoy were 0.8, 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. The size of buoy was 100, 50 and 25% based on the cylindrical buoy (0.0311 ㎥) used for swimming crab trap. The drag coefficient of the trapnet, the main model for numerical analysis, was obtained by a circular water channel experiment using a 6-component load cell. As a result of the simulation, the tension of the anchor line decreased proportional to buoy’s drag coefficient and size; the higher the wave height, the greater the decrease rate of the tension. When the buoy drag coefficient and size decreased to one fourth, the tension of the anchor line decreased to a half and the tension of the anchor line was lower than the holding power of the anchor even at 6 m of wave height. Therefore, reducing the buoy drag coefficient and size appropriately reduces the trapnet load from the wave, which also reduces the possibility of trapnet loss.

This study aims to investigate effects of the length of the buoy and sand bag line on the loss of webfoot octopus pot. A numerical modeling and simulation was carried out to analyze the process that the pot gear affected by wave using the mass spring model. Through the simulation, tensions of sand bag line under various condition were investigated by length of buoy and sand bag line. The drag force and coefficient k of an artificial shell used in the webfoot octopus pot was obtained from an experiment in a circular water channel, and the coefficient k was applied to the simulation. To verify the accuracy of the simulation model, a simple test was conducted into measuring a rope tension of a hanging shell under flow. Then, the test result was compared with the simulation. The lengths of the buoy line in the simulation were 1.12, 1.41, 1.80, 2.23, 2.69, and 3.17 times of water depth. The lengths of sand bag line were 10, 20, 30, and 40 meters, and conditions of water depth were 8, 15, 22 meters. 4 meter height and 8 second period of wave were applied to all simulations. As a results, the tension of the sand bag line was decreased as the buoy and sand bag line were increased. The minimum tension of the sand bag line was appeared in conditions that the length of the buoy line is twice of water depth and the sand bag line length is over 40 meters (except in case of depth 8 meters.).

This study aims to reduce the force exerted to the buoy of the gillnet by wave and current. Five buoy models were selected for experiments and their rope tensions under wave and current action were compared. Five models were EL (ellipsoid), EL-H (ellipsoid-hole), SL (streamlined body), SP (sphere) and CL (cylinder, traditional type). In the first experiment, the Five models were tested without any attachment. In the second experiment, a flagpole was attached to each model. As a result, in the condition without flagpole, the tensions of four models with the exception of the CL were about a half of that of the CL. In the condition with flagpole, the tension of all models was twice larger than that without flagpole. Thus, a new model was suggested to improve the problem, which has a combined body that of a flagpole and a buoy Three new models of CL-L (long and thin cylinder), LF (leaf shape) and LF-F (leaf shape with fin) were designed. Also a cylinder type (CLD) with a flagpole as a control was included in the experiment. As a result, the LF-F had the smallest tension and a half tension of the CLD. Therefore, it is supposed that the flagpole and buoy combined model could reduce the tension on buoy rope and contribute to improve the gillnet loss problem.

This study investigates the development of an automatic lightening buoy that can indicate an aquaculture cage at night or in rough weather. The energy for the light is generated by the linear motion of a magnet along with a coil inside the buoy as the waves cause the buoy to oscillate up and down. The principle of the magnet motion is different between the magnet and body of the buoy because the movement of the latter is dependent on the surface wave, while the former is affected by the damper. To obtain a quantitative performance of the buoy, the voltage as well as up and down motion produced by several waves were measured in the wave tank. A shorter wave period, i.e., faster motion, of the magnet produced a brighter light. It is expected that this study can aid in deciding the optimum design of a buoy capable of producing a bright light at any aquaculture site affected by sea or fresh water waves.

The difference of mooring tension by type of buoy was investigated in the circulating water channel and the wave tank for deducting the most stable buoy from the current and the wave condition. 5 types of buoy made up of short cylinder laid vertically (CL-V), short cylinder laid horizontally (CL-H), capsule (CS), sphere (SP) and long cylinder (CL-L) were used for experiments. A mooring line and a weight were connected with each buoy. A tensile gauge was installed between a mooring line and a weight. All buoy’s mooring tension was measured at the same time for the wave test with periods of 1.5~3.0 sec and wave heights of 0.1~0.3 m, and the current test with flow speeds of 0.2~1.0 m/sec. As a result, the order of tension value in the wave test was CL-H > CL-V > SP > CS > CL-L. In the current test CL-V and CL-H were recorded in the largest tension value, whereas SP has the smallest tension value. So it seems that SP buoy is the most effective in the location affected by fast current. CS is predicted to be suitable for a location that influence of wave is important more than that of current if practical use in the field is considered. And it was found that the difference of mooring tension among buoys in wave is related to the product of the cross sectional area and the drag coefficient for the buoy’s bottom side in high wave height. The factor for the current condition was not found. But it was supposed to be related to complex factors like a dimension and a shape by buoy’s posture to flow.

현재 우리나라에서 사용되고 있는 등부표의 종류는 10가지 정도이며, 부표 설계 및 개발의 대부분을 외국 기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해상 계측 등이 가능한 소형 등부표의 개발을 목표로 소형 부표의 설계안을 제시하고 그 안전성을 수치적으로 검토하였다. 구체적으로는 다양한 실제 해상환경과 유사한 조우각과 선속 변화에 따른 내항성과 관련된 응답 진폭비, 부가저항 등의 값을 수치적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 설계된 부표의 응답해석 결과, 종요응답비가 조우주파수의 증가에 따라 전체적으로 감소하는 특성을 확인하였다. 횡파에 대한 부가저항이 가장 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었고, 최종적으로 제시된 부표가 일정 조건하에서 응답 특성이 확보됨을 확인하였다.

The state-of-art third generation wave prediction model WAM was applied to the Korean seas for a winter monsoon period of January 1997. The wind field used in the present study is the global NSCAT-ERS/NCEP blended winds, which was further interpolated using a bi-cubic spline interpolator to fine grid limited area shallow water regime surrounding the Korean seas. To evaluate and investigate the accuracy of WAM, the hindcasted wave heights are compared with observed data from two shallow water buoys off Chil-Bal and Duk-Juk. A detailed study has been carried with the various meteorological parameters in observed buoy data and its inter-dependency on model computed wave fields was also investigated. The RMS error between the observation and model computed wave heights results to 0.489 for Chil-Bal and 0.417 for Duk-Juk. A similar comparison between the observation and interpolated winds off Duk-Juk show RMS error of 2.28 which suggest a good estimate for wave modelling studies.

기상청에서 덕적도와 칠발도에 설치한 해양기상 관측부이 자료를 이용하여 해양 및 대기 특성과 해양-대기간의 열교환을 살펴보았다. 각 관측지점에서의 일평균 현열속 및 잠열속은 벌크공기역학법을 적용하여 계산하였다. 표층수온은 기온과 같이 뚜렷한 연주기를 보이지만, 1달 정도 시간지연을 가진다. 해면기압은 7월에 가장 낮았고 겨울에 가장 높았으며, 습도는 5-8월 사이 비교적 높았다. 풍속은 가을과 겨울에 평균 5m/s 이상으로 강한 편이었다. 현열속 분석결과 가을부터 겨울에 걸처 해양의 열손실이 두드러졌으며, 봄과 여름에는 반대로 대기에서 해양으로의 약한 열전달이 이루어져 연중 순현열속은 해양에서 대기로의 열전달을 보여주었다. 잠열속 분석결과 봄에서 여름까지 대기의 열손실이 나타나지만, 그 외 기간에는 해양의 열손실이 월등히 크게 나타났다. 현열속과 잠열속의 크기를 비교해 볼 때,1-2월을 제외하고는 전반적으로 현열속보다 잠열속에 의한 해양의 열손실이 우세함을 알 수 있었다. 관측지점별로 분석한 열속의 크기와 변동폭은 대체적으로 덕적도에서 더 크게 나타났다. 일정 기간을 선정한 사례연구에서, 1998년 5월사례의 경우 현열속과 잠열속 모두 칠발도에서 더 크고, 1996년 11월 사례의 경우에는 덕적도에서 훨씬 크게 나타났다.

Tabulated results by Pode are used for computing the cable shape and cable tension in static equilibrium. This paper describes a technique using the integral form by Pode to give a simplified calculation of the cable functions at any desired value because in most practical cased the points of interest on the cable are not the points of reference on which the tables are based. Solving the nondimentional tension, τ, defined by Pode in closed form reduces the integral in cable functions to a single integral. The technique using the integral form enables us to calculate the cable functionsin at any critical angle and at any point in case of a towing cable or certain cable-buoy systems.

항로표지사고는 통항선박의 항행위험을 초래하고, 항로표지의 신뢰성을 저하시킬 수 있다. 해상에 가장 많이 설치·운영되고 있는 등부표는 바람, 조류, 파도 등 해양기상의 영향으로 인한 사고율이 가장 높다. 그러나 우리나라 등부표 설치해역별 해양기상조건이 다름에도 불구하고, 등부표의 동적안정성 계산에 있어 전 해역에 일류적인 극한조건만을 적용하고 있는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 등부 표 중 해상에 가장 많이 설치되어 있는 LL-26(M) 등부표의 동적안정성을 분석하여, LL-26(M) 등부표의 안정적인 운영 방안을 제시하는 것 이다. 이를 위해 등부표와 관련한 선행연구의 해역별 기상을 분석한 후, 해양기상에 의한 사고발생 횟수가 많은 해역별 대표 등부표에 적용하 여 동적안정성(경사각)을 추정하였다. 연구결과 각 해역별 LL-26(M) 등부표의 경사각은 상이하였다. 즉, 바람에 의한 경사각은 10.329°~ 36.868°이고, 조류에 의한 경사각은 0.123°~18.834°이며, 파도에 의한 경사각은 4.777°~20.695°로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 LL-26(M) 등부 표의 안정적 운영을 위한 해역별 설치기준 마련에 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
