Abstract
This study intended to investigate the shape of the artificial fish reefs settled in the waters of Seogwipo, and the thronging of fish schools into them. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Two types of artifical fish reef, circularized vertical type which is composed of Cryptomeria branches and parachute type, were put off the coast of Seogwipo at $33^{\circ}14'05'$ N Lat., $126^{\circ}34'40'$ E Long. The setting place is located 0.4 sea-mile away from natural fish reefs, at 25 m in depth. And its sediment is consisted of f. S. and Sh. 2. Maximum velocity of wind drift current was 15.28 cm/sec at 15 m depth. The Current direction was $20.5\%$n in the WSW. 3. Maximum fluid resistance of the circularized vertical type to current and wind waves showed about 890 kg, and the weight of sand bags attached to the fish reef totaling 1,200 kg was enough to sustain fish reef. 4. As maximum fluid resistance of the parachute type to current and wind waves was 106.3 kg, the retaining force of sand bags was enough to sustain the fish reef, but vinyl canvas and expansion materials were so poor that the fish reef was lost by the sea current and wind waves. 5. Sixteen species of fish among 53 usually caught in this area were thronged into the artificial fish reef. The fish catches comprized Porgy (Pagrosomus major) $23\%$, black kook fish (Sebastes (Mebarus) intermis) $13\%$, sand borer (Sillago sihama) $11\%$, Sebastes (Pteropodus) hubbsi $7\%$, and file fish (Monacanthus cirrhifer) $6\%$. According to the submarine observations by fivers, it was confirmed that a lot of fish larvae thronged in the middle part of the fish reefs.
서귀포 연안에 인공어초를 설치하여 어군의 형태와 어군의 위집에 관한 연구에서 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 어초설치 해역의 15.28cm/sec였고 유향은 WSW가 $20.5\%$에 대한 취송류는 최고유속이 15.28cm/sec 유향은 WSW가 $20.5\%$였다. 2. 흐름과 파에 의한 원형수하형어초의 유체저항은 약 890kg이 최대였고, 어초에 부착된 멍의 중량은 1,200kg로서 고정력이 충분하였다. 3. 파라슈트어초에 대한 최대저항은 전개용 자료가 약하여 유지되지 못하였다. 4. 제주도 근해산 중요어류 53종중 인공어초에 위집한 어종은 16종이었고 어획조성비는 참돔 $23\%, 볼라 $13\%, 보리멸 $11\%$, 우럭볼락 $7\%$, 주치 $6\%$이고 잠수관찰에서 어초의 중층부에 많은 치어가 위집된 것을 확인하였다.
