Abstract
In order to estimate the effect of ceramic artificial reefs on the fisheries resources enhancement, we have studied the variation of catch and species, which were caught by trammel net on the three fishing grounds of ceramic artificial reef, natural reef, and control(non-reef)in the coast of Geomun-do, Korea from 2001 to 2003. Catch per unit effort (CPUE ; g/panel) of fishing ground with the ceramic artificial reef area was 1,621.9g, it was about 67.9% higher than the natural reef area 333.3% higher than the control area. The catch of fish with the ceramic artificial and the natural reef area was not significantly different based on statistical analysis of Tukey test, whereas the relationship between the ceramic artificial reef and the control area was significantly different (p<0.05). Monthly mean number of species caught by the artificial reef area, the natural reef area and the control area was no difference by ANOVA test. The catch of fish was highest in November and lowest in May, whish was associated with the natural reef and the control area. The dominant species were demersal fishes living around rock such as Pagrus majir, Thamnaconus modestus, Stephanolepis sirrhifer, Pleuronichthys curntus, and Ostracion cubicus in the artificial reef area, but demersal of migratory fishes in the natural reef and the control area.
한국 거문도 연안에서 시설된 세라믹 어초의 시설 효과를 구명하기 위하여 2001년부터 2003년까지 어초 시설구, 자연초구 및 비시설구 어장에서 삼중자망에 의한 어획량과 어획종을 조사하였다. 어초 시설구에서의 폭당 어획량은 1,621.9g으로 자연초구와 비시설구에 비해 각각 67.9%, 333.3%많았는데, 이를 Tukey test로 검정한 결과, 어초 시설구와 자연초구에서는 유의차가 없었으며, 어초 시설구와 비시설구와는 유의차가 인정되었다.(p<0.05). 어초 시설구에서 어획된 월 평균 종수는 7.2종으로 자연초구에 비해 7.1% 적었던 반면 비시설구보다 97% 많았는데, ANOVA 분석결과 유의차가 없었다. 어초 시설구의 어획률은 11월에 최대, 5월에 최소치를 보였으며, 이러한 현상은 자연초구, 비시설구에서도 나타났다. 어초 시설구의 우점종은 참동, 말쥐치, 쥐치, 도다리, 거북복 등 암초성이 강한 저서어종이었고, 자연구와 비시설구에서는 저서성 및 회유성 어종이 혼재하였다.
