This study was conducted in order to improve the automatic fishing operation system for anchovy boat seine by comparison with the fishing gear geometry and efficiency using the labor saving nets and the combined type net with midwater trawl. Field experiments were carried out to observe the geometry of nets and improve the fishing operation system by catcher boats. The vertical net opening of fore wing net, square, fore bag net and after bag net of the combined type net were varied in the range of 9.9~12.9. 16.2~28.2, 6.8~12.1 and 9.5~15.2m respectively, when the towing speed was 1.0m/sec and the distance between boats were 100m, 200m, 300m. The vertical net opening of the combined type nets was gradually decreased as function of with increasing the distance between catcher boats. Labor saving net which was maintained the net opening and towing depth stable was more suitable for the automatic hauling operation system by improvement of bag net rather than the combined type nets which was impossible in swallow depth and near to anchovy school. 3 boats hauling operation system of the labor saving net was carried out by crane with power block in 2 catcher boats for improvement of hauling operation and pushing equipment of anchovy cooking system in the processing boat for maintain more anchovy in dry frame. From the results of field experiments, 3 boats hauling operation system with power block and improved cooking system was very 3 boats hauling operation system with power block and improved cooking system was very useful and more practical as hauling time 20~35min and No. of fishermen 12~13 in comparison with the traditional system such as hauling time 30~50 min and No. of fishmen 28~38.

This study was conducted in order to improvement of fishing gear and fishing operating system for anchovy boat seine by labor saving improved nets. Field experiments were carried out observe geometry of nets and fishing operating system by catcher boats. The obtained results are summarized as follows : The Vertical net opening of fore wing net, wing net, inside wing net, square, fore bag net, flapper, after bag net of the labor saving improved net according to the distance between catcher boats were varied in the range of 5.0${\sim}$7.8, 14.4${\sim}$21.1, 16.2${\sim}$21.2, 14.0${\sim}$17.3, 11.7${\sim}$13.9, 5.4${\sim}$6.9, 8.2${\sim}$9.8m respectively, varied in the range of 50${\sim}$78, 25${\sim}$36, 24${\sim}$31, 31${\sim}$38, 61${\sim}$73, 71${\sim}$91, 87${\sim}$104% of the actual ratio of net opening in each part. Labor saving improved net was performed instant net opening in fore wing net and maintained stable net opening and towing depth by means of attached net pendant. Also, it was minimized as net pocket phenomenon leading to guide anchovy for more catch by means of attached body net. The opening in accordance with distance between catcher boats and towing speed. The catch of labor saving improved net was increased than traditional net due to decrement of net resistance by improvement of bag net leading to increasement of towing speed and reduction of escape anchovy as well as improve nets of whole operation system.

As part of a series of studies about improving yellow croaker drift gill net fishing gear and the development of a labor-saving fishing system, we installed a labor-saving-type, five-step-drum net hauler, and a triple-V-type net hauler in 108 Daeheung-ho, a fishing boat which operates drift gill nets for yellow croakers mainly in the sea near Chu-ja Island. Net damage with the labor-saving-type, five-step-drum net hauler is lower than for the triple-V-type net hauler. In addition, there was a reduction in the standard operational crew of two people. The lead time for hauling the labor-saving net was approximately 10% and 19.2% less than for hauling the triple-V-type net hauler and for hauling by hand, respectively. It was found that there were fewer slip in fishing gear and less damage to the wing of the drum as well as less damage to the fish when the labor-saving-type, five-step-drum net hauler was used than when the triple-V-type net hauler was used. In the survey, the lead time for hauling the net was approximately 21.6% and 45.2% more effective than hauling with the triple-V-type net hauler and hauling by hand, respectively. The crew was reduced by approximately 18.2% and 25% than when hauling with the triple-V-type net hauler and hauling by hand, respectively. In addition, cessation of operation and damage to the fish were reduced when compared to the triple-V-type net hauler and hauling by hand.
