Aedes albopicuts, known as asian tiger mosquito or forest mosquito, is characterized by its black and white strips on legs and body. Ae. albopictus is an important vector mosquito for the transmission of many viral pathogens such as dengue fever and chikungunya fever. Unlike other mosquito, Ae. albopictus attacks people mainly during the daytime in the forest. To evaluate the diel activity of Ae. albopictus, three times mosquito collecting were conducted using BG Sentinel trap with dry ice in bamboo forest in Damyang-gun, Jeoullanam-do, in South Korea from August to September, 2009. Captured mosquitoes were counted and released every one hour during 25 hours experiment time. The result showed that Ae. albopictus activity began with sun rising at approximately 09:00, with peak in the early evening between 16:00 to 19:00, and ended with sunset at 21:00. Among the several factors affecting on the mosquito activity, light intensity seems to be a main factor. Especially, if the light intensity is over some threshold, it negatively effects on the activity of Ae. albopictus.

1997년 10월 2일부터 10일 사이에 동해에서 계량어군탐지기를 이용하여 수집한 어탐기록과 CTD를 이용한 해양관측 결과 및 중층트롤에 의한 어획물의 생물학적 조성 등을 비교, 분석하여 어족생물의 일주기적인 유영행동특성을 검토, 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 1997년 10월 3일에 북위 36˚04', 동경 130˚53'의 조사 해역의 경우, 수온약층은 수심 60~110m의 수층에 형성되었고, 혼합층과 수심 250m이 저층 수괴 사이의 온도차와 염분 차는 각각21˚, 0.6%이었다. 2. 조사대상해역에 있어서 1997년 10월 2일~3일에 대한 일주기적 연직회유행동을 고찰할 때, 주간에 수온약층 아래쪽 수심 250 m 전후에 분포하는 생물군의 평균상승속도는 시간대에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 0.51m/min이었고, 일출을 전후하여 100~ 125 m 수층에서 하향 이동하는 생물군의 평균하강 속도는 0.41 m/min이었다. 3. 조사대상해역에 있어서 어군의 체적산란강도는 표층, 중층, 저층의 순으로 높았고, 개체 생물의 반사강도는 저층, 중층, 표층의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 4. 중층트롤에 의한 시험조업의 결과, 초음파 산란층에 분포하는 어획 생물 중에서 살오징어가 점유하는 비율이 가장 높아 95.7%이었고, 그 평균 외투장과 평균체중은 각각 25.3 cm, 390.0g이었으며, 위 내용물은 살오징어, 갑각류, 치어류 등이었다.

잎굴파리를 예찰할 때 이용하는 황색 끈끈이 트랩의 최적 설치 높이를 밝히기 위하여 트랩을 3단계의 높이로 설치하여 4회에 걸쳐 높이별 부착수를 조사하였다. 거베라에서 트랩의 설치 높이는 작물과 같은 높이로 설치했을 때가 그 위 30cm, 60cm에 설치했을 때보다 잎굴파리의 유인량이 많았다. 시간대별 잎굴파리의 행동향상을 파악하기 위하여 황색 끈끈이 트랩을 작물높이에 설치한 후 1시간과 2시간 간격으로 일주활동을 조사하였다. 5월 조사에서 08~10시와 14~18시에 두 번의 피크가 나타났으며 7월 조사에서는 08시까지 잡힌 잎굴파리가 가장 많았고, 10월 조사에서는 12~14시에 가장 많이 잡혔다 잎굴파리의 배행활동에는 온도뿐만 아니라 일사강도 등 다른 환경요인도 작용하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 황색 끈끈이트랩에는 암컷보다 수컷이 트랩의 높이나 시간에 관계없이 더 잘 유인되었다.

The speed of vertical migration and the volume backscattering strength of the scattering layers during the evening and morning transitions between day and night were measured in November 1990-1992 in thermally stratified waters of the East China Sea. Acoustical measurements were carried out using a scientific echo-sounder operating at t재 frequencies of 25 and 100kHz, and using an echo-integration system connected with a micro-computer. Biological sampling was accomplished by bottom trawling to identify fish species recorded on the echo sounder, and the species and length compositions were determined. The values of scattering strength were allocated to group of fishes according to the fish traces on the echo recording paper and the species composition of trawl catches. The vertical velocities of migration derived from the changes in the depths and the values of peak scattering strength of the dense layer vertically migrating toward the bottom or toward the surface. The trawl data suggest that snailfish and fishing frog were the most abundant fishes in all research stations. As sunrise approached, the fish formed a strong concentration just above the thermocline. The the highest values of scattering strength in the entire water column appeared in the depth strata above the thermocline just before the begining of downward migration. As soon as the fish began to migrate downwards across the thermocline, the values of the scattering strength in the depth strata above the thermocline rapidly decreased, while the values for the scattering layer moving slowly toward the bottom gradually increased. During the 1992 surveys, the speed of the vertical migration was estimated to be 0.38m/min in the upward migration and 0.32m/min in the downward migration, respectively. That is the rate of vertical migration was slightly higher at dusk than at dawn. Similar migration patterns were observed on different stations and under different weather conditions during the surveys in 1990.

The vertical distribution and activity patterns of fishes during the evening and morning transitions between day and night were studied acoustically and by bottom trawling in November 1990-1992 in thermally stratified waters of the East China Sea. The acoustic data were collected from six stations with a scientific echo-sounder operating at two frequencies of 25 and 100kHz, and the echograms were used to determine the vertical distributions of fish. Biological sampling was accomplished by bottom trawling to identify fish species recorded on the echograms, and the species and length compositions were determined. At each station, vertical profiles of water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were taken with a CTD system and were related to the diel movements and the depth distributions of fish. During the day most fish were within several meters above bottom, but began to migrate upwards just before sunset, and during the night they were dispersed in midwater. Prior to sunrise with a thermocline present, one group of the fish aggregation occurred in dense schools slightly above the thermocline, while the other group occurred with the numerous single fish-traces bellow it. These groups of aggregations rapidly began to migrate toward the bottom across the thermocline from about 40 min before sunrise. Trawl hauls in the bottom strata below the thermocline with the characteristic single fish traces yieled invariably catches dominated by snailfish and fishing frog with minor quantities of other species in all stations. Hence, the results indicate that snailfish and fishing frog were the dominated scatterers in the depth strata below the thermocline, and the single-fish recordings were mainly snailfish. The fish species such as anchovy and juvenile mackerel in bottom trawl catches is poorly represented in relation to the mesh selectivity of the trawl net, but their occurrence suggest that the fish-school recording above the thermocline were due to these species which migrated vertically across the thermocline, with a temperature gradient of about 8℃, from the water layers near the bottom at night. Accordingly, we conclude that the vertical distribution and activity patterns of snailfish were strongly temperature dependent and in the termally stratified waters, the upper limit to diel activity was closely linked to the position of the thermocline.
