Abstract

The Relationship between the distribution of the fishing grounds of anchovy and the oceanographic conditions in the Korean Waters are investigated by using the data of the catch of anchovy by the gill net fishery (Fisheries Research and Development Agency, 1969-1982) and the oceanographic observation data (Fisheries Research and Development Agency, 1979). The main fishing ground of anchovy by the gill net fishery was five fishing areas located in the adjacent seas of Sockcho, Kuryong-po, Kijang, Keoje island and Chungmu, the area of which occupies no more than $20\%$ of all fishing grounds, and it appeared that about $80\%$ of mean catches of fourteen years was concentrated in this area. The main fishing periods were from April to June and October to November. The coefficient of variation of the catch for the main fishing ground were from 0.3 to 0.6 and the condition of all fishing ground was generally stable. The mean CPUE was 81.2 kg/set at the main fishing ground. The annual mean catch of anchovy by the gill net was the smallest in February and the largest in May through a year. It was found that the fluctuation is related to the expansion and reduction of the isothermal line of $10^{\circ}C$.

한국 근해에서 최근 14개년간(1969-1982)의 멸치 자망에 의한 어획통계자료로부터 어장의 평균 분포와 해황과의 관계를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 멸치의 중요어장은 어획이 있었던 전 어장면적의 $20\%$에 지나지에 지나지 않은 속초, 구룡포, 기장, 거제도, 및 충무의 인접한 5개 해구에 집중되어 있고, 연평균어획양의 약 $80\%$가 여기서 어획된다. 이 어장에서의 어획양 변동계수는 $0.3{\sim}0.6$으로서 작고, 평균 CPUE가 81.2 kg/set로 비교적 크다. 멸치 자망의 주어기는 일년 중 어획양이 극대치를 나타내는 $4{\sim}6$월의 춘계어기와 $10{\sim}11$월의 추계어기였다. 어장중심은 $37^{\circ}N$ 이북 해역에서는 주문진 동방 약10마일 역이며, $35^{\circ}-37^{\circ}N$ 해역에서는 기장 동방 약 25마일 역에 위치하고, $35^{\circ}N$ 이남 해역에서는 충무 남방 약 35마일 역이다. 일년중 어획양의 변동은 2월에 최소이고 5월에 최대인데, 이것은 냉수역 한계수온으로 생각되는 $10^{\circ}C$등온선과 관계가 깊었으며, $34.0{\sim}34.4\%0$ 등염선역이 주어장이 형성되는 곳이었으나 명확한 관계는 알수 없었다.
