1980년 부터 1983년까지의 한국류자망 어선에 의한 빨강오징어의 어획량, 노력량, 동장 및 표면수온 자료를 기초로 빨강오징어의 계절별 분포와 회유를 밝혔다. 빨강오징어의 어획이 좋았던 수온은 $5{\sim}7$월에는 $15^{\circ}{\sim}16^{\circ}C$, $8{\sim}1$월에는 $13^{\circ}{\sim}18^{\circ}C$이었다. 높은 분포밀도는 8월에는 $18^{\circ}C$등온선 그리고 9월에는 $15^{\circ}C$등온선을 중심으로 한 열전선역에서 나타났다. 북태평양에 있어서 분포밀도가 동부해역보다 서부해역에서 더 높은 것은 해양특성치의 분포경도가 높기 때문이 다. 노력당어획량, 동장조성 및 해양구조를 기초로 북태평양에 있어서 빨강오징어의 회유모델을 작성하였다. 북상기($6{\sim}8$월)에 대형군은 소형군보다 먼저 북상하고 먼저 동방에 출현한다. 추계에는 냉각과 친조의 발달에 따라 아한대전선역으로부터 남하회유를 시작한다. 대형군은 소형군보다 더 북부해역에서 상하를 시작하나 남하도중에 소형군을 추월하여 산란장에 먼저 도달한다.
The seasonal distribution and migration of flying squid, Ommastrephes bartrami (LeSueur), in the North Pacific were studied by means of mantle length, surface temperature, and catch and effort data of the Korean drift gillnet fishery from 1980 to 1983. The water temperature for the best fishing ranged from $15^{\circ}\;to\;16^{\circ}C$ in May through July and from $13^{\circ}\;to\;18^{\circ}C$ in August through January. High densities of flying squid were found in the thermal fronts with $18^{\circ}C$ isotherm in August and with $15^{\circ}C$ isotherm in September. The densities of flying squid were higher in the western region than in the eastern region in the North Pacific. The high densities of flying squid in the northwestern Pacific were attributed to the high gradients of oceanographic properties in the region. Migration models for flying squid were hypothesized based on the monthly distributions of catch per unit net, mantle length compositions by statistical blocks, and the hydrographic features of the North Pacific. The large flying squid moved to the northern region and to the central Pacific region earlier than the small sized group in the northward migration period (from June to August). Flying squid begin the reverse southward migration from the Subarctic Frontal Zone in autumn with onset of cooling and the development of Oyashio Current. The large sized group starts their southward return migration from more northern waters than the small sized group but the former moves past the later ana reaches the spawing ground first.
