This study includes spatial variations in the catch of billfishes in the Pacific Ocean and examines factors affecting interannual changes in the catch. Main billfish species caught by Korean tuna longline fishery were blue marlin and swordfish. A main fishing ground of the species was the tropical Pacific Ocean, while additional fishing ground of billfishes tended to be formed in the Pacific coast of Mexico in the El Nino periods. Further, the catch of billfishes was significantly related to CPUE (tons/average of the used hooks/vessel) in the entire Pacific Ocean as an index of stock abundance and equatorial SOI (EQSOI) as an index of El Nino event. Annual changes in the catch of billfishes in the Pacific Ocean could be regulated mainly by variations of stock abundance. In addition, increase of the density of billfishes in the tropical Pacific and additional formation of fishing ground by El Nino event possibly contribute to increase of the catch of billfishes in the Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, linear regression model may be more adequate in the analysis of relationships between fisheries data and indices made from using some environmental factors.

Ecological risk assessment(ERA), developed in Australia, can be used to estimate the risk of target, bycatch and protected species from the effects of fishing using limited data for stock assessment. In this study, we employed the ERA approach to estimate risks to tunas, billfishes, sharks, sea turtles and other species by the Korean tuna longline fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean using productivity and susceptibility analyses of the ERA based on low(<1.30), medium(1.30-1.84) and high risk(>1.84). Albacore, bigeye, yellowfin, skipjack and bluefin tunas were generally evaluated in the medium risk. The susceptibility of tuna species, however, had higher risks than the productivity. Billfishes were also at medium risk, while sharks were at high risk by the tuna longline fishery. The risk of productivity was generally high, because most sharks caught by the tuna longline fishery have high longevities, i.e., over 10 years, including ovoviviparous species. Susceptibility, which is related with the selection of fishing gear, was also high, because the longline fishery has no gear modifications to prevent bycatch of protected species. Not only target tuna species were influenced by the tuna longline fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, but also nontarget species, such as pomfret, mackerels rays, sea turtle were done. Ecosystem-based fishery assessment tools, such as productivity and susceptibility analysis(PSA), have the ability to provide broad scientific advice to the policy makers and stakeholders.

Yellowfin and bigeye tunas have been targeting and the most important species for the Korean tuna longline fishery in the Indian Ocean. This study is aimed to analyse the fishing efficiency of the regular and the deep longlines and the vortical distribution of tunas, and the weight composition by fishing depth based on the data from Korean tuna longline fishery from 1973 to 1980 and from 1984 to 1986 in the Indian Ocean. It was found that the deep longline gear on bigeye tuna was significantly different from the regular longline gear on yellowfin tuna in the whole Indian Ocean. Yellowfin tuna and billfishes were chiefly distributed at the shallow layer and bigeye at the deep layer. The weight composition of yellowfin and bigeye tunas by depth showed that the deeper the depth, the larger the bigeye distributed.

The circle hook experiments were conducted to compare the catch rates of target and bycatch species between J hook and circle hooks in the tuna longline fishery of the eastern Pacific Ocean between $1^{\circ}48'S-7^{\circ}00'S\;and\;142^{\circ}00'-149^{\circ}13'W$ from July 15 to August 12, 2005. In the target species group no significant differences among 3 types hook, between size 4.0 traditional tuna hooks(J-4) and size 15 circle hooks(C15), and between C15 and size 18 circle hooks(C18) were revealed, but significant differences were found between J-4 and C18. In the bycatch species group significant differences were found among 3 types hook, between J 4 and C15, and between J-4 and C18, but no significant differences were revealed between C15 and C18. Large circle hook(C18) had the lowest catch rate for tunas and for other fishes, and the small circle hook(C15) had lowest rate for billfishes and sharks. The length distributions for bigeye tuna are very similar for the 3 hook types. There were very slight differences in length size between hook types in the bycatch species.

기름치를 참치회 또는 메로구이로 판매하는 사례가 있으며 국내에서는 2012년 6월1일부터 식품원료로 판매가 금지되어 이를 판별하는 시험법 마련이 필요하다. 기름치는 농어목(Perciformes) 갈치꼬치과(Gempylidae)에 속하는 기름갈치꼬치(R. pretiosus)와 흑갈치꼬치(L. flavobrunneum)가 있으며 이를 판별하기 위한 종 특이 프라이머를 개발하기 위하여 미토콘드리아에 존재하는 16S DNA 유전자부위를 선정하였다. 그리고 미국 국립보건원에서 운영하는 유전자 은행(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)에 등록되어있는 기름갈치꼬치, 흑갈치꼬치. 참다랑어, 황다랑, 청새치 및 황새치의 염기서열을 대상으로 BioEdit ver. 7.0.9.0 프로그램을 사용하여 비교 및 분석을 실시하였다. 분석을 통하여 기름갈치꼬치 및 흑갈치꼬치를 판별할 수 있는 각각 4종의 프라이머를 설계하였다. 설계된 프라이머에 대하여 대조군으로 다랑어 3종(참다랑어, 황다랑어, 눈다랑어) 및 새치류 4종(청새치, 황새치, 녹새치, 돛새치)에 대한 실험적 평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과 기름갈치꼬치에 대하여는 R.P-16S-006-F/R.P-16S-008-R, 흑갈치꼬치는 L.F-16S-004-F/L.F-16S-006-R 프라이머를 최종 선정하였으며, PCR 조건을 확립하였다. 확립된 조건에서는 각각 178bp 및 238bp의 PCR 산물을 확인하였으며, 유사종간의 비특이적 밴드는 형성되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 기름치를 판별할 수 있는 종 특이 프라이머는 인터넷쇼핑몰 또는 시중에 불법적으로 유통 가능성이 있는 제품을 신속하고 과학적으로 판별할 수 있어 식품안전관리에 활용도가 매우 클 것으로 기대된다.
