An experiment to acoustically analyze the shape of gill-net in the current was conducted in Jaran Bay, Gosung, Korea on the 9th to 10th September(spring tide) and 28th to 29th September(neap tide) 2006. It was measured by a 3D underwater positioning system with a radio-acoustic linked positioning buoys. Six of 7 acoustic transmitters used in the experiment were attached on the float line of the gill-net and the other was fixed on the sea bed. During spring tide, the maximum movement of the gill-net was 27.0m(22:00) in the west(4.4cm/s, $311.9^{\circ}$) and 20.6m(04:00) in the east(3.9cm/s, $66.5^{\circ}$). The maximum extension of the gill-net(the distance between P1 and P6) was 119.8m(21:00, 11.6cm/s, $321.9^{\circ}$) and the minimum was 109.9m(23:00, 16.1cm/s, $88.5^{\circ}$). During neap tide, the maximum movement was 38.0m(20:00) in the east(9.6cm/s, $278.2^{\circ}$) and 11.0m(12:00) in the west(1.9cm/s, $232.1^{\circ}$). The maximum extension was 99.6m(14:00, 12.5cm/s, $94.7^{\circ}$) and the minimum was 85.0m(06:00, 9.0cm/s, $265.8^{\circ}$). During spring tide, the maximum height of the gill-net from the sea bed was 3.7m(02:00, 7.4cm/s, $151.6^{\circ}$) and the minimum was produced the three times as 1.5m. At that time, the current speed and direction was 17.9cm/s and $85.3^{\circ}$(23:30), 16.1cm/s and $249.4^{\circ}$(05:00), and 13.7cm/s and $291.4^{\circ}$(06:30), respectively. During neap tide, the maximum height was 3.6m(12:30, 2.1cm/s, $242.3^{\circ}$) and the minimum was 1.5m(14:00, 12.5cm/s, $94.7^{\circ}$).

An experiment to measure the volume variation of bag net in a set-net by acoustic telemetry system was conducted in Jaran Bay, Gosung, Korea on 10 April to 23 April 2003. The long baseline telemetry system consists of three radio-acoustic linked positioning (RAP) buoys, a time controller with a personal computer and seven pingers. Six pingers were attached on the bottom of the bag-net and the other one was fixed on the sea bed. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The average RAP buoy fixing errors of x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis were 0.2m, 0.4m, and 0.1m, respectively. 2. In the neap tide the minimum and maximum volume of the bag-net on 11 April 2003 were 4,173$m^3$(17:00) and 4,757$m^3$(12:00), respectively. The average current direction and speed at those times were 99.9$^{\circ}$, 12.9cm/s and 104.0$^{\circ}$, 2.4cm/s, respectively. 3. In the spring tide on 17 April 2003, the minimum and maximum volume were 2,016$m^3$(18:30) and 4,454$m^3$(15:00), respectively. The average current direction and speed at those times were 315.6$^{\circ}$, 16.1cm/s and 289.0$^{\circ}$, 5.7cm/s, respectively. 4. In conclusion the maximum variation of the volume on 17 April to 20 April 2003 was 3,552$m^3$ and it was larger 1.4 times than time on 11 April to 16 April 2003.
