Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the mesh selecivity and optimum mesh size of spring frame trap for conger eel. Conger myriaster. It was carried out on 25th Sep. 2002 at the coastal sea of Nung-po, Geojedo. The experimental fishing gear was used in five kinds of different mesh size spring frame trap that were 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and 35mm, and one plastic pot as control fishing gear that was 6.7mm hole diameter. The mesh size 15mm, 20mm are the current gears, 25mm, 30mm are used in experiment, and 35mm is the legal mesh. These were made 50 traps, respectively. The mesh selectivity curve was analysed by the Kitahara's method(1968) and the optimum mesh size was estimated by relationship between the total length and diameter of conger eel and by the mesh selectivity master curve. The results obtained are summarized follows : 1. The total number of catch by the trap for conger eel was 835, it was consisted of 537 conger eel(64.4), 225 crabs(2639%) and 73 others(8.7%). 2. The value of maximum 1/m on the mesh selectivity curve was estimated at about 23.9. 3. The optimum mesh size of spring frame trap for conger eel was estimated 34.0mm in 50% selection range of the mesh selectivity master curve.
붕장어에 대한 스프링형 그물통발의 망목선택성 및 적정망목을 추정하기 위한 시험조업은 경남 거제시 능포 인근해역에서 2002년 9월25일${\sim}$9월27일에 실시되었다. 시험어구는 현용어구인 15mm, 20mm 및 시험을 위해 제작한 25mm, 30mm 그리고 수산자원보호령에서 규정하고 있는 35mm와 대조어구로써 통수공 6.7mm의 플라스틱 통발을 각각 50개씩 제작하여 사용하였다. 망목선택성은 Kitahara(1968)와 Fujimori(1996)의 방법을 사용하여 분석하였고, 적정망목은 어체 동주와 체장과의 관계 그리고 망목선택성 Master Curve를 사용하여 추정하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 시험조업 결과 총어획미수는 835미로, 붕장어 537미(64.4%), 게류 225미(26.9%), 기타 73미(8.7%)였다. 2. 망목선택성 곡선의 Master Curve에서 최대 전장/망목(max. 1/m)의 값은 23.9로 추정되었다. 3. 붕장어 스프링 통발의 적정망목은 34.0mm로 추정되었다.
