The species composition and variation in abundance of fishery resources near Oenarodo, Go-heung Peninsula, Korea, were investigated by gill net, trap net, and longline in May, July, and October 2015 and 2016. During the study period, the total catch included 14 species in the gill net, 11 species in the trap net, and 4 species in the longline. The dominant species were Portunus trituberculatus and Raja pulchrain the gill net, Charybdis japonicaand and Octopus vulgarisin in the trap net, and Muraenesox cinereusin in the longline. The Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) per individual and per weight in the gill net were similar in May and July of 2015 and 2016. In October 2015, the CPUE per individual was 2.1 ind./h and the CPUE per weight was 505 g/h higher than the results in 2016, but there was no significant difference in the total CPUE between 2015 and 2016. In the trap net, the CPUE per weight was similar in both 2015 and 2016, but the CPUE per individual was 2.7 ind./h higher in October 2015 than in October 2016 and the total CPUE was not significantly different from 2015 to 2016. The CPUE per individual and weight in the longline were significantly higher in July and October 2015 than in the same months of 2016, but the total CPUE in 2015 and 2016 did not show a significant difference.

Fossil fuel combustion during fishing activities is a major contributor to climate changes in the fishing industry. The Tier1 methodology calculation and on-site continuous measurements of the greenhouse gas were carried out through the use of fuel by the coastal and offshore gillnet (blue crabs and yellow croaker) and trap (small octopus and red snow crab) fishing boats in Korea. The emission comparison results showed that the field measurements are similar to or slightly higher than the Tier1 estimates for coastal gillnet and trap. In offshore gillnet and trap fisheries, Tier1 estimate of greenhouse gases was about $1,644-13,875kg\;CO_2/L$, which was more than the field measurement value. The $CO_2$ emissions factor based on the fuel usage was $2.49-3.2kg\;CO_2/L$ for coastal fisheries and $1.46-2.24kg\;CO_2/L$ for offshore fisheries. Furthermore, GHG emissions per unit catch and the ratio of field measurement and Tier1 emission estimate were investigated. Since the total catch of coastal fish was relatively small, the emission per unit catch in coastal fisheries was four to eight times larger. The results of this study could be used to determine the baseline data for responding to changes in fisheries environment and reducing greenhouse gas emission.

Using the eight-year-working diaries($1984{\sim}1991$) of the fishing co-operative in Tonggui-ri, Cheju-do, as well as the records of consignment sale in the fish trust market as the corporate body in Aewol-up, the results have been analyzed as follows. 1. The monthly catch of Turbo cornutus was high from September through December, representing $58.2\%$ of the annual total catches. The maximum sustained yield(MSY) of this stock was estimated to be 2.5 tons. 2. The maximum sustained yields of Haliotis spp. and Sulculus sp. were estimated to be 800kg and 750kg, respectively. 3. The maximum sustained yields of Stichopus sp. and Octopus sp. were 500kg and 2, 500kg, respectively. 4. The total yield of Hizikia fusiforme has been decreasing a little and that of Gelidium sp. has been increasing. The total yield of Gelidium sp. in 1984 was about 5 times greater than that in 1990. 5. The daily catchability by divers have been high at thirties, and the individual mean working day of divers was 101 per year. 6. The consignment sale rates were $100\%$ each for Turbo cornutus, Hiziki fusiforme and Gelidium sp., $25.5\%$ and $61.1\%$ for Haliotis sp. and Stichopus sp. respectively, and $0\%$ each for Sulculus sp. and Octopus sp.

Data on the trawl operation was compiled from the Korea stern trawlers operated in the sea off the Sahara coast of Africa from May 1975 to April 1976. The distribution of some important demersal fishes were investigated by calculating the catch per haul in every fishing ground sections divided by every fishing ground sections divided by every 30' of latitude and longitude. The results obtained are as follows; 1. The mean catch per haul calculated as: squid 14.9kg, large cuttlefish 29.9kg, small cuttlefish 37.8kg, octopus 44.1kg, sole 8.0kg, seabream 9.3kg and miscellaneous fishes 63.1kg. Where cuttlefish is divided into two sizes, large or small by if it weighs over 300kg or not. 2. Squid were caught mostly from August to November in the northern part of 24$^{\circ}$30'N and southern part of 23$^{\circ}$30'N. 3. Large cuttlefish were caught mostly from December to May of the next year, in the coast from 23$^{\circ}$00'N to 25$^{\circ}$00'N, where as small cuttlefish were caught mostly from April to June and from November to January of next year, in the coast from 23$^{\circ}$30'N to 25$^{\circ}$00'N. 4. Octopus were caught mostly from September to January of the next year and from March to April. in the coast from 23$^{\circ}$00'N to 25$^{\circ}$00'N rather in the offshore than in the near coast. 5. Miscellaneous fishes including seabream were caught from May to November, sole from June to November and the others from May to October.

On the basis of the seven species of fish caught by fishing boats with two crewmen belonging to the Iwawada Fisheries Cooperative of Chiba Prefecture, the fishing boats were classified by species withhigh market values, and the results obtainedwere reclassified by discriminant function. As a result, the fishing boats were classified into four groups. These four groups are : G1 featuring themain catchesof yellowtailsand skipjack/tunas ; G2 yellowtails and squids ; G3 squids and skipjack/tunas, and G4 octopus and other miscellaneous specles. Furthermore, principal component analysis were carried out on fish catches of the seven species in terms of the value obtained from a catch from the scores of the first, second and third principal components. The results of analysis show that Groups G1, G2 and G3 assume identical fishing form, while only Group G4 asumes a different fishing form.
