Recently, domestic fishing production of Japanese horse mackerel has been continuously decreasing. To achieve sustainable fishing of this species, it is essential to acquire its target strength (TS) for accurate biomass estimation and to study its ecological characteristics. To date, there has been no TS research using a broadband echosounder targeting Japanese horse mackerel. In this study, for the first time, we synchronized an underwater camera with a broadband frequency (nominal center frequency of 200 kHz, range: 160-260 kHz) to measure the TS according to the body size (16.8-35.5 cm) and swimming angle of the species. The relationship between Japanese horse mackerel length and body weight showed a general tendency for body weight to increase as length increased. The pattern of the frequency spectra (average values) by body length exhibited a similar trend regardless of body length, with no significant fluctuations in frequency observed. The lowest TS value was observed at 243 kHz while the highest TS values were recorded at 180 and 257.5 kHz. The frequency spectra for the swimming angles appeared to be flat at angles of -5, 0, 30, 60, 75, and 80° while detecting more general trends of frequency spectra for swimming angle proved challenging. The results of this study can serve as fundamental data for Japanese horse mackerel biomass estimation and ecological research.

At the first time in South Korea, the state of the art acoustic systems were mounted on the R/V Tamgu 21. The acoustic systems are an EK80 broadband echosounder (18, 38, 70, 120, 200 and 333 kHz) which has two beam modes such as continuous wave (narrowband) and frequency modulation (broadband), an ME70 multibeam echosounder (70-120 kHz), and a SH90 sonar (111.5-115.5 kHz). Acoustic data from broadband mode have a very short range resolution, a large detection range, a high signal to noise ratio, and a wide and consecutive frequency response. In ME70, each individual beam consisted in a multibeam plays a role as a spilt beam. The first trial of the cutting edge acoustic system installed on the R/V Tamgu 21 was conducted from 15 Feb to 29 Feb 2016 in East Sea, South Sea and East China Sea. The properties of the acoustic systems were elucidated and exploratory results from three systems were exhibited. Lastly, issues which should be considered and future research plan are mentioned.

Moon jellyfish Aurelia coerulea are highly abundant off the coast of Tongyeong, Korea. We measured the density of A. coerulea in this area using a scientific echosounder at frequencies of 38 and 120 kHz, and then applied a distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) model to calculate the target strength of the echosounder at each frequency. Then, we used the frequency difference method to extract jellyfish echo signals and estimate the A. coerulea density. A. coerulea was evenly distributed throughout the water column; the backscattering strength ranged from -75 to -65 dB. In May and August, the A. coerulea densities at survey lines 3 and 4 were estimated at 1.5-1.6 and 0.2-0.9 g/m2, with mean weighted densities of 1.04 and 0.48 g/m2, respectively. In September, the A. coerulea densities estimates in Jaran Bay and Goseong Bay were 0.6-2.1 and 0.1-0.4 g/m2, with mean weighted densities of 1.25 and 0.24 g/m2, respectively.

해저면의 지형과 형상을 조사하기 위해 획득되는 다중빔 음향측심자료는 조사선의 움직임과 빔의 위치에 따른 음압의 보정부족 등에 기인하는 이상치를 포함하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 자기회귀이동평균(ARMA)기법을 이용하여 이상치에 의해 왜곡된 자료를 보정해주는 통계학적 절차를 소개하고 이를 동해에서 얻어진 자료에 적용하였다. 이 방법에서는 자료의 자기 상관을 1차 자기회귀모형 AR(1)으로 표현하고 이를 추정한 후 추정된 모형에 현저하게 부합하지 않는 자료(이상치)는 추정된 모형을 인용하여 수정한다. 이러한 방법을 이상치가 발견되지 않을 때까지 반복적으로 되풀이한다. 자료의 처리결과 해저지형을 나타내는 신호에 비해 월등히 큰 이상치들이 대부분 제거되었음을 볼 수 있다.

For scientific research, a number of acoustic surveys using commercial echosounders equipped in fishing vessels were conducted throughout the world; however, few studies were performed in South Korea. Hence, this research is an preliminary study for presenting the application of a sounder from a fishing vessel. The fishing operations using a pair trawler (7 Cheonghae) was conducted in the Northwest-Western sea of Jeju Island from 20 to 23 April, 2016. Substantial impulse noises and attenuated signals were eliminated by the latest algorithms. Acoustic signals were grouped into the fish aggregations and long layer-like signals. The fish aggregations appeared between 30 and 60 m, and long layer-like signals showed the diurnal vertical migration. Energetic, morphological and positional properties of the fish aggregations and layer-like signals were described. The fish aggregations appeared mainly between sunrise and sunset; however layer-like signals tended to be presented regardless of time in consideration of the time series analysis. On the basis of the consignment sales, Scomberomorus niphonius, the target species of F/V 7 Cheonghae, was the highest catch with 4,280 kg (74.6%) and might have appeared in fish aggregations and layer forms.

멀티빔 음향측심기를 이용하여 후포퇴(Hupo Bank) 주변의 정밀해저지형 분석하였다. 멀티빔 음향측심기는 광범위한 광대역 빔을 발사하여 조사선의 항적에 따른 지형기복을 관측할 수 있는 시스템으로 조사 측선과 측선 사이의 미측심구간에 대한 자료의 밀도를 높여 정밀해저지형을 구현할 수 있다. 이러한 조사를 통해 연구해역에서는 길이 84km, 폭 1-15km 그리고 수심 5.3-160m를 보이는 후포퇴를 중심으로 서측에는 모오트(moat)가 동측에는 scarp와 해저협곡(submarine canyon)이 분포한다. 또한 후포퇴의 정상부에는 최소 5.3m의 수심을 보이는 왕돌초(Wangdol reef)가 존재한다. 본 연구해역에 분포하는 모오트는 깊이가 30m 그리고 폭이 30-40m로 움폭파인 수로 형태를 보인다. scarp는 수심차가 약 60m로 절단면의 특성을 보이며 해저협곡은 3.5km에서 최대 13.5km의 폭을 보인다.

This study is aimed to acquire the depth information and measure the water volume of reservoir using the robot-ship equipped with GPS and echosounder. Robot-ship is an automatic system for measuring exact depth and bed topography. According to field experiment results, measured water volume by the robot-ship data was not much exceeding 6.8% in comparison with existing water volume data, and it was guessed because of sediments of reservoir bottom. The robot-ship could be used to acquire economically and exactly the water depth and bed topography of reservoirs, dams, rivers and so on.

황해 경기만 남부 지역에 분포하는 층면구조의 형태특징을 조사하기 위하여, 다중빔음향측심기를 이용한 지형조사가 2년(2006과 2007)에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 경기만 남부의 층면구조는 다양한 퇴적상 위에 연속적인 스펙트럼의 크기와 다양한 형태의 수중사구(A-F type)가 발달하고 있다. 경기만 남부 지역에 발달된 수중사구의 파장과 파고의 관계식은 $H_{mean}=0.0393L^{0.8984}$ (r=0.66)로 나타나고 있다. Flemming(1988)의 파장-파고 관계식과 연구지역의 관계식의 비교를 통해서 조석우세환경인 연구지역에 분포하는 수중사구는 현재 수리적, 퇴적학적 환경에 평형된 상태로 활발하게 발달되어 있고 강한 조류와 풍부한 퇴적물 유용도에 의해서 발달, 유지되고 있음을 보이고 있다. 또한 인위적인 작용인 해사채취는 층면구조를 파장이 짧고 낮은 파고의 불규칙형태로 바꾸며 퇴적물 유용도를 감소시켜 수중사구 발달에 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 다른 제어요인인 수심과 입도는 경기만 남부지역의 수중사구의 발달과 유지에 크게 기여하지 못한 것으로 판단된다.

Side scanning sonar (SSS) provides valuable information for robot navigation. However using the side scanning sonar images in the navigation was not fully studied. In this paper, we use range data, and side scanning sonar images from UnderWater Simulator (UWSim) and propose measurement models in a feature based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) framework. The range data is obtained by echosounder and sidescanning sonar images from side scan sonar module for UWSim. For the feature, we used the A-KAZE feature for the SSS image matching and adjusting the relative robot pose by SSS bundle adjustment (BA) with Ceres solver. We use BA for the loop closure constraint of pose-graph SLAM. We used the Incremental Smoothing and Mapping (iSAM) to optimize the graph. The optimized trajectory was compared against the dead reckoning (DR).

An acoustic method for discriminating plankton from fish, in Lake Dom Helvecio of Brazil, is developed. The flow of data from this method is comprised of time varied threshold (TVT), dilation filter, bitmap and mask functions. The TVT can, of itself, precisely explain how to select an appropriate value. The final results of the echogram, which only shows plankton by masking fish signals, is used to examine the acoustic density of plankton by depth and time. The results indicate that the acoustic density of the plankton is at a depth of between 5m to 15m, its density is especially high at 10m to 15m. The results of the acoustic density of plankton by time indicate that May 7 is higher in density than May 8. Future study plans include the use of net samples, environmental datasets to identify the abundance and ecology described by the Chaoborus spp. from other species.
