The largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) is one of the most common fisheries stocks in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. The species is caught using a variety of fishing tools, such as a stow net or a long line, as well as jigging and trawling. Scientific investigations have been conducted throughout the world to enable evidence-based estimations for the management and protection of the main fisheries biomass. For example, inshore and offshore hydro acoustic surveys are performed annually using bottom- and mid-water trawls around the Korean Peninsula. However, to date, no acoustic survey has been conducted to estimate fish size distribution, which is necessary to construct a data bank of target strength (TS) relative to fish species, length (L), and frequency. This study describes the frequency and length dependence of TS among fishes in Korean waters for the purpose of constructing such a TS data bank. TS measurements of the largehead hairtail were carried out in a water tank (L 5 m$\times$width 6 m$\times$ height 5 m) at frequencies of 50, 75, 120, and 200 kHz, using a tethering method. The average TS patterns were measured as a function of tilt angle, ranging from $-45^{\circ}$ (head down) to $+45^{\circ}$ (head up) every $0.2^{\circ}$. The length conversion constant ($b_{20}$) was estimated under the assumption that TS is proportional to the square of the length. In addition, in situ TS measurements on live largehead hairtails were performed using a split beam echo sounder.

The spatial distribution and abundance of fish species was estimate near Dok-do, East Sea of Korea by conducting midwater trawl survey with hydroacoustic method. Acoustic and midwater trawl data were collected onboard the R/V Tamgu 21 during 7-8 March 2016. Acoustic data were collected at the frequencies of 38 and 120 kHz and converted to nautical area scattering strength ($m^2/nmile^2$). Species are distributed mainly over an extent of 30-55 m, generally around southwest of Dok-do; the squid Watasenia scintillans was the dominant species found. The length-weight function and target strength of squid and other fishes were used to estimate the W. scintillans stock at 2499.1 tons and other fish at 43.8 tons during the winter season. The hydroacoustic method offers an approach for the determination of the biomass and vertical and spatial distributions of species aggregating near Dok-do, East Sea of Korea.

The objective of this study was to provide fundamental information on fish swimming behavioral properties. Acoustic data was collected at nighttime from the $10^{th}$ to $12^{th}$ March, 2016 near Yokji Island in the South Sea of South Korea, and was analyzed using the fish track technique. This technique is to identify groups of single targets, which shows a pattern of systematic movement. As a result, the differences of the behavioral properties such as depth, swimming speed, vertical direction, horizontal direction, tortuosity, and depth change among days were minor; however, statistical results (Welch analysis of variance) showed significant difference between days. Especially, the target strength (TS) of the $11^{th}$ were significantly different from the $10^{th}$ and $12^{th}$. It could be assumed that gizzard shad, which was the dominant species from the catch on the $11^{th}$ March, might have affected this difference. The correlation between TS and other properties was very week. The significant difference seemed even small differences of average values because of the large data volume.

본 연구는 낙동강 본류의 안동댐 하류(4,565.7 km²) 하천을 대상으로 1차원 물리적 서식처 모형인 PHABSIM과 2차원 물리적 서식처 모형인 River2D를 활용하여 대상어종에 대해 환경생태유량을 산정하고 어류서식처에 대한 2차원 공간분석을 수행하였다. 서식처 모형의 구축을 위해 낙동강유역의 하천기본계획보고서를 활용하여 하천단면정보와 수리학적 입력자료를 수집하였다. PHABSIM 구축범위는 구담수위관측소(GD)로부터 약 410.0 m, River2D의 경우 GD를 포함한 약 6.0 km에 대해 구축하였다. 대상어종 선정 및 HSI 구축을 위해 대상하천의 하류에 위치한 풍지교에서 어류 현장조사를 수행하였다. 어류 현장조사 결과, 피라미가 우점종으로 나타나 피라미(Zacco platypus)를 대상어종으로 선정하였고 피라미의 물리적 서식처 특성을 활용하여 HSI를 구축하였다. 피라미의 최적 HSI 범위는 유속에서 0.3~0.5 m/s, 수심에서 0.4~0.6 m, 그리고 하상재료는 모래에서 잔자갈로 나타났다. HSI를 PHABSIM에 적용하여 환경생태유량을 산정한 결과, 대상하천의 최적 환경생태유량은 20.0 m³/sec로 산정되었다. River2D를 활용하여 어류서식처의 2차원 공간분석을 수행한 결과 WUA는 환경생태유량 조건에서 107,392.0 m₂/1000 m으로 산정되었고, Q₃₅₅ 조건과 비교하여 하천 전반적으로 어류서식처가 확보되는 것을 확인하였다.

The distribution and abundance of coastal fish species in Asan Bay, Korea, were estimated from hydroacoustic survey and net catches. Acoustic data were collected with 38 and 200 kHz from July to October of 2012, and converted to the nautical area scattering coefficient (NASC, $m^2/mile^2$) for $0.25n{\cdot}mile$ along ten transects. Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus was the dominant specie in the net catches. The virtual echogram technique was used to distinguish E. japonicus from other species based on the differences in the mean volume backscattering strength (${\Delta}MVBS$) at 38 and 200 kHz. Engraulis japonicus and other fishes are mainly distributed in the center channel and outer part of Asan Bay. E. japonicus tends to move from inner to outer Asan Bay in summer and fall. From NASC data, the target strength and length-weight function of E. japonicus and other fishes were used to estimate the E. japonicus stock at 24.1-93.3 tons, and other fish at 40.6-88.4 tons from July to October 2012. The estimated anchovy biomass compared well with the cumulative catch weight from stow net catches. The hydroacoustic method offers an approach to understanding spatial/temporal structure and estimating the biomass of fish aggregations in coastal areas.

This study evaluated acute toxicity of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂ ) to juveniles of black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii (19.4±2.3 g, 10.7±0.4 cm) and red seabream Pagrus major (74.9±8.2 g, 15.9±1.0 cm). Thirty juveniles for each species were exposed to target ClO₂ concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.125, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mg/L in triplicate for eight days. Half lethal concentrations for 96 hours were found at 0.14 and 0.24 mg ClO₂/L for black seabream and red seabream, respectively. Red seabream larger than black seabream in body weight appears to be more resistance to chlorine dioxide. However, regardless of species or size, specific loading rates of chlorine dioxide to total fish weight (daily feeding amount of ClO₂/total fish weight) were similar, showing 1.3 and 1.1 g ClO₂/kg fish·day^-1 for black seabream and red seabream.

This thesis is the fundamental study on the adaptation of escape device for reducing small size of fish in set-net. The escape devices for experiments were made the grid-type devices with three different slit sizes (15, 20 and 25mm). The experiments of size selectivity on escape devices were conducted by using two kinds of species as black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) and sea perch (Lateolabrax maculatusi) in the experimental tank. The size selectivity curve was fitted by using a logistic function and the parameters of selectivity curve were estimated by a maximum likelihood method. In the results; 50% selection ranges for the grid-type escape devices with three different slit sizes were; a black rockfish was 13.30, 19.22 and 22.06cm and a sea perch was 17.64, 20.91 and 22.78cm, respectively. The 50% selection range of a black rockfish was wilder than a sea perch about 1.1~1.3 time. Therefore, the small size of fish are able to reduce by using the grid type escape device. However, the optimum slit size of grid should be decided to consider the size of target species and economics of catches.

최근 하천 환경 및 생태학적 관심도가 증가함에 따라 다양한 하천 복원 및 서식 환경 조성 사업이 수행되고 있다. 서식처 복원 사업에 있어 중요한 것은 서식처에 필요한 유량을 산정하는 것이고, 이를 위해 미국 및 유럽의 많은 국가에서 유지유량증분법을 이용하여 서식처 필요유량을 산정하고 있다. 유지유량증분법은 하천 흐름과 관련되어 있는 생물의 서식처 평가와 적정 유량을 설정할 수 있는 개념으로서, 대상하천에서 유지유량증분법을 적용하기 위해서는 생물에 대한 서식처적합도지수가 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 국내의 경우 과거 현장 모니터링을 통해 피라미와 참갈겨니에 대한 적합도지수만이 존재하기 때문에 다양한 어종에 대한 서식처 유량을 산정하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 금강수계의 현장 모니터링을 통해 수심 및 유속과 같은 물리자료, 산성도 및 용존산소량과 같은 화학자료, 그리고 어종 및 개체수와 같은 생물자료를 구축하였다. 확보된 2,736개의 자료를 바탕으로 피라미, 참갈겨니, 돌마자, 쉬리, 돌고기, 모래무지 등 6가지 어종에 대한 서식처적합도지수를 산정하였으며, 기존에 제시된 서식처적합도지수와의 비교를 통해 새로운 서식처적합도지수를 제안하였다. 또한 각 어종별 프루드수, 산성도, 용존산소의 범위를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 서식처적합도지수는 하천사업의 평가를 수행하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 연구에서는 금강수계 미호천 유역에서 어류 서식지적합도지수 (HSI)를 산정하고 환경생태유량을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 미호천의 상류와 하류를 대표할 수 있는 2개 지점 (St.3과 St.8)을 선정하고, 어종별 수심과 유속 등 물리적서식지 정보를 구축해 서식지적합도지수를 산정하였다. 서식지적합도지수는 채집된 개체수와 유량조사 결과를 수심과 유속의 관계를 이용해 WDFW 방법으로 산정하였고, 대표어종 선정시 우점종인 피라미 (Zacco platypus)와 유량에 민감한 유영성 어종으로 결정하였다. 단일종인 피라미의 경우 수심 범위는 0.1 - 0.5 m, 유속 범위는 0.2 - 0.5 m/s 이고, 유영성 어종인 경우 수심 범위는 0.2 - 0.5 m, 유속 범위는 0.2 - 0.5 m/s 이다. 미호천의 대표지점인 St.3과 St.8에서 대표어종인 유영성군집 및 피라미에 대한 유량 (Discharge)-가중가용면적 (WUA) 관계 곡선 및 서식지적합도 분포를 모의하였다. 미호천 상류 St.3에서 가중가용면적이 최대값을 나타내는 최적유량은 유영성 군집이 4.0 m³/s, 피라미가 2.7 m³/s 로 모의되었다. 하류지점인 St.8에서는 유영성 군집이 8.8 m³/s, 피라미가 7.6 m³/s 로 모의되었다. 두 지점 모두 유영성군집 어종의 최적유량이 크게 산정되었다. 이는 유영성 군집의 서식지적합도지수가 피라미의 서식조건보다 더 빠른 유속을 필요로 하기 때문이다. 최소유량 산정에서도 피라미의 유량이 더 작고, 보다 더 많은 가중가용면적을 제공하는 것으로 평가된다. 군집 어류의 경우 수심과 유속의 범위를 좁게 산정하면 필요유량이 증가하고 가중가용면적은 상대적으로 감소한다. 따라서 군집어류에 대한 서식지적합도지수 산정시 범위를 좁게 설정하는 것보다 모든 어종의 서식지를 포함하는 지수를 산정하는 것이 유리하다.

Rockfish was a commercially important fish specie in marine ranching areas in Korea. To estimate density and biomass of rockfish using acoustic method, target strength (TS) information is required on the species. This study measured TS dependence on tilt angle and size on 14 live rockfish individuals at 38, 70, and, 120 kHz by ex-situ measurement (tethered method) and acoustic scattering model (Krichhoff ray mode, KRM). The swimbladdered angle ranged from 18 to $30^{\circ}$ ($mean{\pm}s.d.=26{\pm}4^{\circ}$). The mean TS for all individuals was highest -35.9 dB of tilt angle $-17^{\circ}$ at 38 kHz, -35.4 dB of tilt angle $-25^{\circ}$ at 70 kHz, and -34.9 dB of tilt angle $-22^{\circ}$ at 120 kHz. The ex-situ TS-total length (TL, cm) relationships were $TS_{38kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-67.1$, $TS_{70kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-68.6$, and $TS_{120kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-69.9$, respectively. The model TS-total length (TL, cm) relationships were $TS_{38kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-66.4$, $TS_{70kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-67.0$, $TS_{120kHz}=20log_{10}(TL)-67.0$. The two measurements between the ex-situ TS and KRM model for TS-tilt angle and fish size were found to be significantly correlated.
