The regional characteristics of crackdown on illegal fisheries in Korea Waters are investigated using data from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, local cities and Provincial governments, and the Korea Coast Guard from 1996 to 2006, focusing on the relationship between the crackdown on illegal fisheries, catches within the affected regions, and characteristics of similar crackdown in Chinese fishing vessels. Illegal fisheries in the South Sea were all strongly affected within each region, and a relationship between the crackdown and subsequent catches showed a relatively good correlation in the South Sea. As a monthly variation, a strong correlation appeared during the autumn season, but this strong correlation was not evident during the spring. This paper suggests that a relationship exists between the crackdown on illegal fisheries and subsequent catch rates, suggesting that an intensification of these efforts in the South Sea and the Yellow Sea, and attendant increases in manpower and equipment would result in a significant decrease in illegal fishing by Chinese fishing vessels from year to year.

Trawl fishing is a major concern worldwide, and there is considerable debate about its impact on marine ecosystems. In this study, we used the vessel monitoring system (VMS) data collected in the southwest Atlantic Ocean from 2016 to 2019 to estimate the fishing effort and trawled area. Spatial distribution of trawl activities according to the latitude and longitude and the hotspots where fishing was concentrated each year were identified. Trawling activities of the Korean vessels were mainly distributed between 40-52°S and 56-63°W. The species caught during the fishing period comprised five Cephalopoda, three Chondrichthyes, ten Osteichthyes, and other fish. The Argentine hake Merluccius hubbsi and Argentine shortfin squid Illex argentinus were the dominant species in the catch.

The objective of this study is to present a prototype of organic content, using 3 Screen as the basic concept, and to examine the possible applications of such models. Organic content is something with the characteristics of an organism, which adapts to each unit while maintaining connectivity without losing identity, according to the situation of the user and the characteristics of each unit, opposed to contents that exist without connectivity among units. To this end, I produced a prototype called "Fishing Phone," which crosses over TV, 모바일 and PC. In the Fishing Phone, the fish adapts to each unit as it interacts differently with users while maintaining its own identity. It is an organic content that travels freely through the 3Screen. Fishing Phone was created by using technology and products widely used and serviced today, such as WiFi, java networking, flash player 7, omnia2, and space censors. It demonstrates that organic content can transcend the limitations of space in existing contents, generating new value, realizing complex interaction, and ultimately providing advanced applications for marketing.

In this paper, strength and leaching characteristics of water sludge-added lightweight soils(WALS) considering reinforcing materials(waste fishing net, glue treated waste fishing net and geogrid) and layer(1 or 2 layer) were investigated using unconfined compression test and leaching test. Several specimens of water sludge-added lightweight soil consisted of water sludge, cement, and bottom ash were prepared according to flowability. Reinforcing material added into these specimens were waste fishing net and geogrid. A glue treated waste fishing net was also added in order to increase interlocking between soil mixture and waste fishing net. Strength increased in the order of WALS reinforced by waste fishing net, glue treated waste fishing net, and geogrid. Strength of specimen with double layer-reinforcing material was greater than that of specimen with single layer reinforcing material. Leaching result of WALS was also satisfied with standard of ministry of environment.

The purpose of this study is to set up the optimum economical formation of the purse seiner fishing system. For this task, the characteristics of existing purse-seiner fishing system were reviewed, and the possible formations of the fleet in tile purse-seiner fishing system were examined through the reallocation of function for each individual vessel. In addition, economic evaluations of the possible formations of the fleet are carried out. Consequently, it was found that 2-vessel formations have the most economic efficiency. Then, a conceptual system design for the main vessel in the 2-vessel formations was performed. As a result, this paper can be used as a helpful guideline to develop the most profitable and economical fishing system in the fleet type fishery.

The current paper deals with the safety of fishing vessels, which needs more speculations than other ship types. The characteristics of accidents of fishing vessels are rather different compared with other commercial vessels. In the context, the methodology of the formal safety assessment, one of the important issues in the maritime world to enhance the safety of marine vehicles, are reviewed and consulted along with other methodologies to see its applicability for fishing vessels. It is anticipated that further effective measures for better safety of fishing vessels can be identified including due considerations of the aspect of human elements, i.e. cultural environment.

The present study obtained universal mathematical models of all elements and characteristics regarding hook and line fishing systems. To describe the hook and line fishing systems on site we used three kinds of coordinate systems: the earth based coordinate system, natural coordinate system, and flow (velocity) coordinate system. Mathematical models presented in this article allow us to define the shape of the fishing gear, the tension of the rope at different points, hydrodynamic resistance, diameter of the hook's wire, immersion depth of the fishing hooks, distance from hooks to the ground and the required lifting force of the floats. These models allow for the performance of computer simulations regarding any kinds of hook and line gears in still water or water where flow occurs.

This study analyzed the condition of marine accident and disaster rate of crew of Korean fishing vessels by vessel type, and checked the Australian safety management system and relevant regulation in Korea to suggest measures to build coastal/offshore fishing vessel safety management system in Korean coastal/offshore fishery. As a result, the power and production amount of Korean coastal/offshore fishing vessel is consistently decreasing while marine accident is increasing. Disaster rate of crew was higher than land industry, especially, the disaster rate of coastal/offshore fishing vessel was very high (100.0‰). Australia applies safety management system differed by vessel type and operation waters which fully considers the characteristics of pertinent vessel. The average accident rate of fishing vessels with gross tonnage over 20 tons among the Korean coastal/offshore fishing vessel was 13.6%, which was significantly higher than fishing vessels with gross tonnage below 20 tons (1.4%). Such result indicates it is urgent to implement safety management system to fishing vessel with gross tonnage over 20 tons and introduce fishing vessel safety supervisor. Establishing safety management system of coastal/offshore fishing vessel will contribute to consistent industrial development by achieving the general goal of reducing marine accident and spreading safety culture.

To suggest more efficient fishing operation, it was analyzed using five years (2011~2015) catch data of six Korean-flagged tuna purse seiners (with 1000 mt of haul capacity) operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean. In terms of annual total catch, it presented a two-year cycle of variation on catch, showing that catches of 2012, 2014 and 2015 were high, whereas those of 2011 and 2013 were low. The proportions on fishing effort of associated set were around 21.9~30.8% having 21.5~45.0% of total catch. In this study, there was no significant difference between catches of unassociated set and associated set. When considered having good fishing conditions, fishing activities were concentrated in the areas of Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Kiribati, while it showed that fishing ground spreaded out to the areas of not only PNG and Kiribati but also Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Tuvalu and Solomon islands. The average number of fishing days was 271 with a range of 246~285. As restriction on fishing operation such as reduction of fishing days and higher fishing fee are expected to strengthen, the result of this study will be helpful to select more efficient fishing methods for purse seine fishery based on fishing conditions.

This study is concerned with the identification of the concepts and characteristics of the traditional access of small scale fishery and traditional small scale fishery based on the classification of fisheries under Fisheries Law, As we called, these fisheries are the small scale of artisanal fisheries. These traditional small scale of artisanal fisheries have been developed throughout the most coastal fisheries but have never been included the institutional fishery system and policy since industrial fisheries have been exploited. By this reason there was no studies to understand and identify these fisheries as fisheries under category of institutional fishery system. Recently by the Fisheries Law, my Person who desires to operate these fisheries, shall report to the provincial governor and then these fisheries were incorporated into the category of fisheries to be reported. But this case of the administrative practices should be not consistent with the classification of fisheries under Fisheries Law. The traditional access of small scale fishery is a derivative concept of fishery categories under the institutional fakery system Because this fishery under institutional fishery system can not be establish the right of fishing by fishery right system technically but the right of fishing is supported by the fishing access system only. Therefore, It is a mistake for the provincial fishery governor to adopt such a policy that the fishing right of the traditional access of small scale fishery which is different from the fishing based right is restricted by the factors of fisheries to be reported. On the other hand the traditional small scale fishery is coincident with the traditional access of small scale fishery and the common fishery under the style of utilization of fishing gear and fishing gear and methods. But this fishery has never been included the fishery categories supported by the government subsidy policies and considerations and has been remained with indifference during the last few decades. Anyhow the fishing right of these fisheries have been assured under the institutional fishery system, any person who desires to operate this fishery should have a fishing right against the public or private uses of fishing ground such as land reclamations and other coastal zone development. A deprivation of the fishing right of this fishery by the conflicts of these public and private uses of fishing ground is not regarded as appropriate according to the social welfare policy. Also it is the administrative expediency to support the fishing right of this fishery under the fisheries lobe reported.
