To estimate the parameters of a mathematical model of fishes' swimming behavior, the behavior in a experimental water tank was observed and analyzed using the video monitoring system. The tank was equipped with vertical circulation system, and measured $3,500L\;{\times}\;1,500B\;{\times}\;1,000H\;mm$ at flow channel and $1,200L\;{\times}\;900B\;{\times}\;500H\;mm$ at observational part. Rainbow trout, salmo gairdnerii were used as experimental fishes. Their swimming behavior in the tank was observed by the monitoring system, and the positions of every individual were checked at 0.5 second intervals by the image processing of recorded pictures for 5 minutes. The mean swimming speed calculated from the time series data of positions of every individual ranged from 2.5BL cm/sec to 2.9BL cm/sec at the stagnated flow. The mean swimming speed of 10 individuals in a school increased according to the flow speed. The mean swimming depth ranged from 17 cm to 38 cm even though it changed irregularly at the stagnated flow and gradually became stable according to the increase of flow speed. In the present study, the mean distance of individuals from wall of the tank varied from 17.6cm to 21.4cm. The mean distance between the nearest individual varied from 0.4BL cm to 0.7BL cm when 10 individuals in a school were observed. The mean dimension of fish schools became enlarged in all directions according to increase in the number of individuals, and as flow speed increased the horizontal dimension of fish schools expanded while their vertical dimension decreased.

하천내에서 작은 물고기의 국지적인 회유 또는 이동 습성은 먹이를 구하고, 산란 및 성장과 집단에서 분산하고, 위험으로부터 도피하는 것에 밀접한 연관이 있다. 하천의 합류부와 연결부에 제방(levee), 도로(road) 등이 설치되는 경우 일반적으로 암거형태의 인공수로로 상 하류를 연결되는데, 암거내 수리특성상 평수시 저유량, 고유속, 저수심의 수리특성을 보인다. 이러한 수리특성은 물고기가 이동하는데 장애(barrier)가 되어 생태적으로 하천내 종다양성 감소와 일부 어종의 멸종을 초래한다. 어도 설치시 설계기준에서 가장 주목할 부분은 어도를 이용할 대상어종의 범위와 유영능력이다. 하천설계기준(2005, 한국수자원학회)에서 제시된 물고기의 유영능력은 대부분 국외 어종을 대상으로 외국에서 실험한 결과를 이용하고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 기준이 국내 어종에 대해 적합한지에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 실험의 목적은 국지회유성인 피라미와 각시붕어가 인공수로를 통과할 때의 유영행동 중 소상성공율과 유영속력을 평가하고자 함이다. 유영행동의 실험방법은 Brett(1967)에 의해 제안된 2가지 방법인 증진유속방법과 고정유속 방법중에서 물고기의 이동경로와 소상능력을 확인하기에 용이한 고정유속방법을 사용하였다. 또한, 효과적인 실험을 위해 실험어종(피라미 100마리, 각시붕어 100마리)이 실험 중에 최적의 건강상태를 유지할 수 있도록 물고기의 적응 기간(24시간)과 실험 중 휴식기간을 두었다. 실험결과 체형이 방추형(fujiform)인 피라미의 경우 평균유속 $0.7{\sim}0.8m/s$구간에서 소상성공율이 61%에서 26%로 급격하게 하락하는 현상이 나타났다. 그리고 측편형(compressiform)의 체형을 가진 각시붕어의 경우 평균유속 0.4m/s에서 소상성공율이 25%로 나타났으며 그 이상의 유속에서는 10%이하로 나타났다. 실험어종의 이동경로를 분석한 결과 대부분 수로바닥에 밀착하여 최저유속구간을 이용하여 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이동경로의 지점유속은 평균 유속의 70%정도로 나타났다. 실제 하천에 설치된 인공수로가 생태통로의 기능을 유지하기 위해서는 평상시 수리특성이 대상어종의 유영능력을 초과하지 않도록 설계되어야 한다. 특히, 하천에 설치된 인공수로의 길이가 $5{\sim}10m$정도일 경우라면 피라미의 소상 가능성을 50% 이상 확보하기 위해서는 평수시 설계유속이 0.7m/s를 초과하지 않아야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the several indexes represented by swimming characteristics of aquarcultured red seabream, Dchrysophrys majors in a farming water raft(10L×10W×5H) were measured by ultrasonic telemetry. The fishes tagged by pingers were tracked by the LBL method(Shin etc., 1994). The location of fishes were calculated by the hyperbolic method and the indexes were estimated by the least square method. The similarity was confirmed by the comparision between experiment and simulation on the swimming trajectory of fishes, the mean distance of individual from wall, the mean swimming speed and the mean distance between the nearest individuals. The obtained results are summerized as follows ; 1. The swimming trajectory of fishes tagged by the pingers and the swimming trajectory by the simulation for 120 minutes showed a simularity. 2. The mean swimming speed by the experiment and the simulation showed 39.2 ㎝/sec (1.4BL ㎝/sec) and 44.4 ㎝/sec (1.6BL ㎝/sec), respectively. 3. The mean swimming depth by the experiment and the simulation showed 238㎝ and 248 ㎝, respectively. 4. The mean distance of individuals from wall of the farming water raft by the experiment and the simulation showed 132 cm and 129 cm, respectively. 5. The mean distance between the nearest individuals by the experiment and the simulation showed 83 ㎝ and 61 ㎝, respectively.

This paper describes the swimming and escaping behavior of amber fish, Seriola aureovittata released in the first bag net of the setnet and observed with telemetry techniques. The setnet used in experiment is composed of a leader, a fish court with a flying net and two bag nets having ramp net. The behavior of the fish attached an ultrasonic depth pinger of 50 KHz is observed using a prototype LBL fish tracking system. The 3-D underwater position ofthe fish is calculated by hyperbolic method with three channels of receiver and the depth of pinger. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The fish released on the sea surface was escaped down to 15 m depth and rised up to near the sea surface during 5 minutes after release. The average swimming speed of the fish during this time was 0.87 m/sec. 2. The swimming speed of the fish is decreased slowly in relation to the time elapsed and the fish showed some escaping behavior forward to the fish court staying 1 to 7 m depth layer near the ramp net. The average speed of the fish during this time was 0.52 m/sec. 3. During 25 minutes after beginning of hauling net, the fish showed a faster swimming speed than before hauling and an escaping behavior repeatedly from the first ramp net to the second one in horizontal. In vertical, the fish moved up and down between the sea surface and 20 m depth. After this time, the fish showed the escaping behavior forward to fish court after come back to the first ramp net in spite of the hauling was continued. It is found that the fish was escaped from the first ramp net to the fish court while the hauling was carried out. The average speed of the fish after beginning of hauling was 0.72 m/sec which increased 38.5 ％ than right before the hauling and showed 0.44 to 0.82 m/see of speed till escaping the first bag net. The average swimming speed during observation was 0.67 m/sec (2.2 times of body length).

In this paper, the validity of the numerical model of fishes' behavior presented in our earlier paper was examined by the whiteness test on the residual of numerical model and by the comparison between experiment and simulation on several indexes represented by fishes' swimming characteristics. The validity of the numerical model was proved statistically by means of the whiteness test of the residual. The similarity was confirmed by comparison between experiment and simulation for the swimming trajectory of fishes, the mean distance of individual from wall, the mean swimming speed and the mean distance between the nearest individuals. These results suggest that the behavior of fishes according to the flow speed in three-dimensional space can be estimated partially by the numerical model presented in our earlier paper. However, a long-term approach to improve the modeling technique on the behavior of fishes may be needed before applying the numerical model presented in our earlier paper to real fishing ground.

This paper describes the relationship between the behavior of the snakehead ( Channa arps) of 44cm long and the environmental noise levels due to the piling work. The experiment is conducted in the aquafarm located near Asan lake, Pyongtaek in 1993. The fish trajectory is obtained by a biotelemetry system in which a pulsed ultrasonic pinger attached onto the dorsal is tracked three dimensionally, and the noise and the vibration levels both in air and in water are measured. The results of this study are as follows: 1) The noise levels in water and in air and the vibration level measured at a distance of 90m from the noise source, increased by 36.5dB $(re\;l{\mu}Pa)$, 2308$(re\;0.0002{\mu}bar)$ and $5.9{\mu}m$ repectively compared to the levers before piling. 2) The highest variation of the swimming speed was observed right after the piling works and the width of variation decreased with the elapsed time. The average speeds of the fish before and during the works were measured as 0.8 times and 1.1 times of the body length, respectively. 3) It is found that the fish escapes into the mud of the aquafarm when a heavy shock wave occurred. Consequently, the heavy shock by the piling works could produce a considerably unfavorable effect to the fish.
