In order to telemeter the behavior and distribution of fishes. the telesounder was manufactured and it was examined to verify its performance and effects in the gape nets with wings located around Gokunsan islands. Yellow Sea. on August 8. 18~19 and September 8~9, 1994. The behavior of fish entering the net was observed with the buoy station at sea which was installed at the entrance of the gape nets with wing and its echosignal was transmitted remotely to the base station on ship at distance of about 1 km away from the buoy station at sea. The fishes catched by the gape nets with wings were 12 species and Anchovy(Engraulis japonica), Beka squid(Loligo beka), Herring(Harengula zunasi) was 95% of total catches. The images of color display monitor at the base station on ship were very well coincident with the records of fish finder from the buoy station located at sea. When the current velocity was less than 0.6 kt and slight fluctuation, the fishes entered into the gape net were much more in comparision with over 1.0kt and heavy fluctuation, and then the average swimming depth was about 4 m. The catches per one hauling was about 10~30 kg and when the current velocity was too weak and the current direction did not coincident with the direction of net or the current velocity was too strong, the catches was a few. It is concluded that telesounder system is very useful for investigating the distribution and the swimming behavior of fishes entering in the gape nets with wings.

Test fishing was carried out utilizing a coastal pot-fishing boat from IS March to 7 April 2002 and the results obtained are summarized as follows ; 1. Mean catches(Number of sea eels) according to the soak time of 3 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours were 44.6, 60.0 and 83.3, and CPUE(Number of catch / 10pots·hour) were 2.5, 1.7 and 1.1 respectively 2. Catch difference between over 24 hours and 48 hours was 11.3% and 3.3% between over 48 hours and 72 hours. 3. In the test fishing, by-catches were so low(1.5∼3%) until 12 hours of soaking time passed By-catches were increased according to the soaking time addition on the over 24 hours of soaking time. The bait effect for sea-eel seems to be diminished as soon as the casting started and there was big difference in proportion to bait size and freshness.

The larval fish, which had been previously identified or classified as Enedrias (Pholis) nebulosus, Enedrias spp., Pholis taczanowskii, and unidentified species belonging to Protosalanginae, were revealed as that of a gunnel, Enedrias fangi. This species has been known as a cold water species mainly caught in the Yellow Sea. Larval E. fangi showed peak abundances in the coastal waters off Chonlla Province in March, Chungnam Province in April, and Kyunggi Province in May and June. The primary spawning season of E. fangi seemed to be winter (November to January), and the eggs hatched after 60 days from spawning. The average growth rate of larval fish was about 0.33mm/day. The larval fish of 40mm in body length began to move to the bottom, and stayed in the bottom cold water mass when their body length was greater than 60-70mm. The average annual catches of larval E. fangi from 1985 to 1991 were 5,000M/T in the Yellow Sea, which were more than 99 % of the total gunnel catches around Korean waters. The peak season of catches was from March or April to July in Chungnam Province, and from May to July in Kyunggi Province.

This study demonstrates a variability in efficacy of mating disruption against the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta, populations infesting apples cultivated in differential environmental conditions. Throughout the growing seasons, trap catches of G. molesta male moths and damaged leaf and fruit were examined to evaluate the efficacy of a commercialized mating disruptor. Treatment of the mating disruptor significantly reduced the trap catches of male moth in treated plot, compared to those of the untreated plot. This reduced trap catches were significantly correlated with leaf and fruit damage. Moreover, the highest host damage occurred in June just after the highest overwintering adult peaks in both plots. The treatment of mating disruptors in Chungsong effectively disrupted the overwintering population in April and May, resulting in no noticeable host damage during the following growing seasons. However, there was a marked difference in host damage between two plots, especially in late seasons. Variation in the efficacy of mating disruption technology in terms of host damage appeared to be related with nearby pheromone-untreated orchards, which may result in the immigration of gravid females.

The secular fluctuations of catches and fishing grounds of mackerals and the oceanographic conditions for the fishing grounds are examined by using the data of catches of mackerals by middle and large class purse-seiner during 1951 to 1981 and those of oceanographic observation carried out by Japan Meteorological Agency. The results are as follows; The fishing grounds of mackerals are respectively distributed at northeastern and southwestern areas from the central part of the East China Sea through every season of the studied years: 1968, 1974 and 1980. The narrow belt type of fishing grounds were formed inside of the Kuroshio in spring and winter of the three years. In summer mackeral species move northward and the fishing grounds are formed in the southern sea of Korea. In winter, however, mackeral species move southward and the fishing grounds are appeared in the Tsushima Current region. The dispersion of fishing grounds is generally larger in summer and smaller in spring, and especially it is the largest in summer in 1980. It seems that the concentration and dispersion of fishing grounds are related to the depth of thermocline and the position of horizontal temperature gradient in this area.

To investigate the relationships between ocean environmental characteristics and thechange of the catch, we analyzed various environmental factors such as mean temperature, salinity, current vectors, lunar day and wind vectors from 1995 to 1996 and the catch fluctuation of Hanlim set net from 1994 to 1996. The results are as follow ; 1) The proportion of fishes caught in Hanlim set net is highest for horse mackere1 ($69.2\%$) and is followed by common mackerel ($18.4\%$), hair tail ($5.6\%$), squid ($2.7\%$) and rabbit fish ($1.4\%$) in order. Two peaks in the monthly catch appeared in June and October in the operation period of May- December. 2) The flow direction was northward in flood time and southeastward in ebb time around the Hanlim set net. Thus, the vortical mixing of sea water was active and continued for more than 3 hours. In addition, mean daily temperature was low due to the presence of middle and bottom water in offshore. Increase in salinity or high salinity of sea water provides a favorable condition for catches of fishes. Catches in the first quarter and the last quarter of the moon were larger than that in full moon and the last of the month. In particular, when south or southeasterly wind velocity reaches about 3$\~$6.5 m/s, the possibility of catches increases.

This study was conducted to survey the catches of vertical bottom longline fisheries in the sea mount of central northern Pacific($30^{\circ}-42^{\circ}N$, $170^{\circ}-175^{\circ}E$), during the period of July 1 to August 25,2004 by commercial fishing vessel. The number of 57 test fishing was carried out in the central northern Pacific during 43 days and the total catches were 21,092.4kg as 19 fish species, CPUE/day and catches/day were 185 baskets and 490.5kg, respectively. Main fish species caught from the experimental fishing were Squalus mitsukurii (66.3%), Coelorhyrchus asperocephaius (11.7%) and Helicolenus avius (9.8%) and, average inside diameter for fish mouth was 4.0cm over. Catch ratio according to each fishing ground was the order of F, D, J, B and C. Catch ratio fur water depth was the order of 450-500m, 350-400m, 300-350m, 400-450m, 1000-1100m and 500-550m and, main species by water depth was Squalus mitsukurii for 300-400m, Etmopterus lucifer for 300-550m, Coelorhyrchus asperocephaius far 1,000m over. Catch ratio according to the kind of hooks was higher at the hook no.6 for Squalus mitsukurii and no. 5 for Etmopterus lucifer and, catch ratio by baits was higher at squid for Squalus mitsukurii, saury and eel for Helicolemus avius and saury for Etmopterus lucifer. Accordingly, it is thought that the extension of fishing hours is needed with the reduction of damage and loss for fishing gears during fishing operation.

In order to find out the most favorable shape and structure of pot for conger eel, Astroconger myriaster(Brevoort), the box type, tube type and flat box type of net pots and the pipe type of plastic pot were prepared. Then, the ability of the pots attracting the eel into them were investigated through a tank experiment. The attracting ability was highest in the pipe type without distinction of its length, 50cm and 60cm. In the flat box type, the effective height of pot and the diameter of entrance tip turned out 5cm respectively. But the ability was very poor in the rest pots, especially in the tube type. Thus, the pipe type and flat box type of pots were employed again in a field experiment for comparing their catches with those of the conventional bamboo and plastic pots. In the experiment, the catches were the most in the pipe type and second in the flat box type. But the bamboo and plastic pots both produced comparatively low catches, showing no significant difference between them. It was therefore concluded that the pipe type of pot might be the most favorable one for catching the conger eel.

This survey was aimed to accumulate basic data of aphid population at the Horticultural Experiment Station at Suweon. The yellow pan traps were setted at five locations (Fig.1.), and ran from May 1 to October 31. 1970. About one hundred and twenty species of aphids were trapped, including 24 species of plant vims vectors. Of these, dominant species were as follows: (Asterisk shows virus vector) Aphid species No. of catches * Aphis spiraecola PATCH 2,635, * Aphis craccivora KOCH 2,377, * Myzus persicae SULXER 2,111, Capitophorus hippophaes javanicus H.R. LAMBERS 2,051, Anoecia fulviabdominalis SASAKI 1,480, * Aphis gossypii GLOVER 867, * Macrosiphum avenae FABRICIUS 859, Cervaphis quercus TAKAHASHI 692, * Lipaphis erysimi KALTENBACH 645, Pleotrichophorus chrysanthemi THEOBALD 489, The above 10 species consisted $76.5\%$ of total catches and the 24 vector species consisted $55.5\%$. The curve of the seasonal occurrence of flying aphids at Horticultural Experiment Station shows bimodal, typical for the temperate region. The total number of trapped aphids at the Station from May to September, 1970, were less than that of average yearly catches at the College of Agriculture from 1967 to 1970. Thi, low numbers at Horticultural Experiment Station may attribute to the frequent spraying of insecticides from Spring to Summer on growing crops there. But the aphids population increase suddenly in the middle of October. This might be resulted from cease of insecticide applications and migration of aphids from summer host to winter host plants.
