색광에 대한 볼낙 Sebastes inermis의 행동을 조사하기 위하여, 서로 다른 두가지 색광을 조합하여, 수조의 양단에서 동시에 광자극을 가했을 때의 반응을 주간과 야간으로 구분 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 수조내에서의 구간별분포곡선은 양단구간에 많이 모여 대체로 U자형이 되었다. 2. 양색광원쪽에서의 평균분포차는 $31.14\%(10.28{\sim}59.82\%)$였고, 주간($40.60\%$)보다 야간($21.68\%$)에 적었다. 3. 볼낙이 잘 모이는 색광은 주간과 야간의 구별 없이 백색, 청색, 황색, 적색의 순으로 나타났다. 4. 조명시간의 경과에 따른 집어율의 변화는 적었으며 비교적 안정하게 변동했다. 5. 두가지 색광에 대한 집어율의 차는 조명시간에 관계없이 뚜렷했는데, 야간보다 주간에 그 차가 심했다.
The author carried out an experiment to find out the response of gray rock cod, Sebastes inermis (Cuvier et Valenciennes) to the color light. The experimental tank ($360L{\times}50W{\times}55H\;cm$) was set up in a dark room. Six longitudinal sections with 60 cm intervals are marked in the tank to observe the location of the fish. Water depth in the tank was kept 50 cm level. Light bulbs of 20W at the both ends of the tank projected the light horizontally into the tank. Two different colored filters were selected from four colors of red, blue, yellow, and white, and they were placed in front of the light bulbs to make different colors of light. Light intensity were controlled by use of auxiliary filters intercepted between the bulb and the filter. The fishes were acclimatized in the dark for 50 minutes before they were employed in the experiment. Upon turning on the light, the number of fish in each section was counted 40 times in 30 second intervals, and the mean of the number of fish in each section was given as the gathering rate of the fish. The colors favourited by the fish was found in the order of white, blue, yellow and red. The gathering rate of fish on illumination period was small and comparatively fluctuated with stability. The difference of the gathering rates on two different colors of light was much greater, regardless of illumination period, in day time than in night time.
