Simulation technique for the fish behavior was applied to estimate fish school movement in the cage net. Individual-based fish behavior model (Huth and Wessel, 1991) was evaluated in a free area to understand the characteristics for the model, and the movement in the cage net was simulated by defining the fish reaction against the displacement of cage net. As a result, the distance to the net was not considerably changed and the space among fishes in cage net was slightly decreased by reducing the net space. Swimming area was, however, significantly affected by changing the net space and the relationship between swimming area and net displacement was theoretically estimated as y=-0.21x+1.02 ($R^2$=0.96). these results leads the conclusion that individual-based model was appropriated to describe the fish school reaction in the cage net and be able to use for evaluating the influence on cultured fish.

어류양식용 가두리로서 동합금가두리망의 현장활용 가능성을 파악하기 위해 양식어류인 2년산 참돔을 동합금망과 합성섬유망에서 9개월 동안 각각 사육관리하면서 참돔에 미치는 양식생물학적 및 병리학적 영향을 조사하여 생물학적 안전성을 평가하였다. 동합금가두리망은 지름 25 m, 깊이 10 m의 규모로 제작하여 경남 통영시 욕지면 주변해역 연구교습어장에 설치하였다. 동합금가두리망과 합성섬유망에서 사육한 참돔의 생존율은 각각 99.75%와 99.70%로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 일일체중성장률은 동합금가두리망과 합성섬유망에서 각각 2.13 g/day와 1.65 g/day로 동합금가두리망에서 사육한 참돔의 성장률이 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 혈액성분 분석에 따른 건강도 평가는 합성섬유망에 비해 동합금가두리망에서 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 가두리망 종류별 사육중인 참돔의 구리와 아연의 축적은 다른 기관에 비해 생식소에서 축적이 높게 나타났으며, 가용부분인 근육내 중금속 축적은 허용기준치에 비해 매우 낮았다. 또한 병원체 감염조사결과 동합금가두리망과 합성섬유망에서 기생충은 Microcotyle tai, 세균은 Vibrio alginolyticus 외 5종 등이 공통적으로 관찰되었으나, 동합금가두리망에서 Vibrio속의 세균 감염률에는 다소 차이를 보여 항균작용이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 동합금가두리망의 시스템안정성, 재활용가능성, 항균성 및 식품안전성 등을 고려할 때 어류양식용 가두리로 현장에서 활용이 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.

This paper investigates the mechanical behavior of full-scale offshore fish cages under hydrodynamic loads. To simulate different cases, different materials were used in the fish cage and analyzed under different flow velocities. The cage system is studied in two parts: net cage and floating collar. Analyses were performed with the ANSYS Workbench program, which allows the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method to be used together. Firstly, the fish cage was designed, and adjusted for FSI: Fluid (Fluent) analysis. Secondly, mesh structures were created, and hydrodynamic loads acting on the cage elements were calculated. Finally, the hydrodynamic loads were transferred to the mechanical model and applied as a pressure on the geometry. In this study, the equivalent (von Mises) stress, equivalent strain, and total deformation values of cage elements under hydrodynamic loads were investigated. The data obtained from the analyses were presented as figures and tables. As a result, it has been shown that it is appropriate to use all the materials examined for the net cage and the floating collar.

Most fishing nets used in fish cage aquaculture are made of synthetic fibers such as polyamide (PA) and polyethylene (PE). Therefore, it is challenging to maintain the internal volume of the fish cage due to biofouling, which can increase the load on the cage or reduce dissolved oxygen levels by impeding smooth current flow. To address this issue, research has been conducted to replace conventional synthetic fiber cage nets with brass nets, demonstrating certain benefits such as improved productivity and ease of fish cage management. However, given the need for a more thorough examination of brass fishing net weaving technology and performance, this study assessed the optimal weaving method for brass fishing nets to be used in fish cages. Additionally, it provided essential data for the practical application of brass fishing nets by evaluating their weight, tensile strength, elongation, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance. The study concluded that weaving brass fishing nets using the chain link method ensures durability, ease of installation, and compact storage in a scroll-like form. Moreover, due to their superior fatigue and wear resistance properties, brass nets can offer increased utility if appropriate net diameter and length are selected to compensate for their higher weight per unit area and relatively higher cost compared to existing fiber fishing nets.

A numerical model analysis was performed to analyze the stability of the mooring lines of an automatic submersible fish cage system in waves and currents. The fish cage system consisted of a 12-angled rigid frame, net cage, cover net, 12 upper floats, 12 tanks(for fixed and variable ballast), mooring lines, anchors, and a control station. Simulations were performed with the cage at the surface of the water and at a depth of 20 m. A Morison equation type model was used for simulations of the system in two configurations. The force parameters described both regular and random waves, with and without currents, and their values were input to the model. Mooring tension calculations were conducted on the mooring lines, grid lines and lower bridle lines of the cage. The stability of the mooring lines was checked under both static and dynamic conditions.

This study reports the presence of mature and bi-sexual phase gonads in red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara after less than a year of cultivation in a commercial indoor tank and a net cage. In December 2018, juveniles were placed in an indoor tank and cultured for five months. In June 2019, the fish were transferred to a net cage and cultured until September. The rearing temperatures ranged from 19.86℃-24.65℃ in the indoor tank and 21.86℃-27.65℃ in the net cage. During the net cage culture period, specimens were randomly selected for histological gonad examination. The highest gonadosomatic index (GSI) value was measured in July (3.38±2.53), and dramatically decreased in August (0.44±0.21) and September (0.42±0.30). In July, some mature fish showed signs of vitellogenic stage oocyte development (vitellogenic and oil droplet stage oocytes), but immature fish were in an early developmental stage containing peri-nucleolus stage (PNS) oocytes. Bi-sexual phase gonads containing spermatocytes and spermatids were observed in the lumen and several PNS oocytes. By August and September, most specimens showed early-stage ovary development. However, mature testis (in August) and bi-sexual phase gonads (in September) were also observed. These results provide evidence for early puberty and hermaphroditism in the red spotted grouper.

The swimming behavior of pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) in the offshore sea cage of the brass fishing net was observed and analyzed by imaging sonar techniques. The cultured fish spent most of the time swimming a circular path along the circular cage wall and continued to swim only clockwise direction without completely changing the swimming direction during the 23-hour observation time. In addition, changed swimming behaviors were divided into four categories: (a) the behavior of a large group temporarily swimming in the opposite (counter clockwise) direction, (b) the behavior of a small group temporarily swimming in a small circular path, (c) the behavior swimming small circular path in the center of the cage, and (d) the behavior of a large group swimming across the center of the cage. The maximum swimming speed of the cultured fish was from 3.5 to 3.8 TL/s, the mode was from 1.2 to 1.4 TL/s and the swimming speed during the day time was faster than at night time. It was confirmed the cultured fish swam not only on the surface but also near the bottom net of the cage during the day, but swam mainly at the upper part of the cage at night.

본 연구에서는 일정한 공극율을 갖는 투과성 그물망으로 이루어진 원통형 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중을 고유함수전개법을 사용하여 해석하였다. 그물망에서의 경계조건식으로 그물망을 통과하는 속도값은 그물망 전후의 압력차에 선형적으로 비례한다는 Darcy의 법칙을 적용하였다. 그물망의 공극율 계수와 양식시설물의 잠긴 위치(부상식, 착저식)를 변화시키면서 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중과 파도응답을 살펴보았다. 착저식 양식시설물에 작용하는 파랑하중이 부상식과 비교하여 크게 감소하며, 그물망의 공극율이 양식시설물의 파랑하중과 양식시설물 주변의 파형을 줄이는데 중요한 역할을 함을 밝혔다.

본 연구는 해상가두리와 육상수조의 다양한 중간양성 방법에 대한 성장 및 생존율을 조사하여 육상수조에서의 전복치패 양성의 효율성 증가와 생산성향상을 유도하고자 실시하였다. 해상가두리 (net cage culture, NCC) 실험은 육상수조 사육은 2013년 6월부터 2014년 4월까지 10개월 (300일) 동안 실시하였고, 실험 전복은 2012년에 종묘생산 된 양성 1년생 (각장 평균 22.74-23.67 mm) 을 사용하였다. 육상수조 실험구 설정은 바닥식 양성 (floor culture, FC), 그물 바닥식 양성(net floor culture, NFC), 이중 쉘터 양성 (double shelter culture, DSC) 그리고 육상 가두리 양성 (indoor net cage culture, INCC) 을 각각 2반복구로 설정하여, 수조 당 10,000 마리를 수용하였다. 해상가두리의 월별 각장과 성장률(absolute growth rate of shell length, $AGR_{SL}$) 은 육상수조 사육방법보다 유의적으로 높았고 (P < 0.05), 육상수조 내 사육방법별 월별 중량변화는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 전복치패 각장의 일간성장률 (daily growth rate of shell length, $DGR_{SL}$), 특수생장율 (specific growth rate of shell length, $SGR_{SL}$) 에서도 NCC가 육상수조 실험구보다 유의적으로 높았으며 (P < 0.05), 각폭 성장에서의 성장률 (absolute growth rate of shell breadth, $AGR_{SB}$), $DGR_{SB}$, $SGR_{SB}$에서 NCC가 육상수조 내 실험보다 유의적으로 높았고 (P < 0.05), 육상수조 내 실험구간의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 육상수조 내 실험구에서 측정된 전복체중 성장은 FMW, WG, DWG, SWG에서는 각 실험구별로 유의적 차이가 없으며, 모든 실험구의 생존율은 실험종료 시 까지 55-60%를 유지하였다. 따라서 2 cm이상의 전복치패는 중간양성 시 동일한 밀도, 먹이를 공급한 육상수조 내에서는 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 신선한 먹이가 공급되면서 가두리 주위로 자연먹이가 풍부하게 자랐던 해상가두리가 성장에 유리하게 작용하였던 것으로 판단된다.
