The experiment was conducted to investigate the species composition of catches collected by the bottom trawl on June 24 to 26, 2004 in the southern waters of Korea using a trawler "DONGBAEK" belongs to Yosu National University. The investigation was carried out at the 5 stations and the towing speed was 3.4${\sim}$3.7k't. The catches were composed of 46 species from 37 families, 10 orders and 2 classes for fishes and 2 species, 2 families and 2 orders for Chondrichthyes and 44 species, 35 familes, 8 orders for Osteichthyes. The catches of Perciforms were the highest as 24 species and 18 families for fishes. The catches of Spear squid, Loli해 bleekeri and Red banded lobster, Metanephrops thomsoni were also the highest for mollusca and crustacea as 1 class, 3 species, 3 families, 2 orders, 1 class and 7 species, 5 families, 1 order, 1 class respectively. In the 5 stations, number of individuals and biomass were 1,144 and 376.0kg at ST-1, 908 and 240.3kg at ST-2, 666 and 90.1kg at ST-3, 2,050 and 300..4kg at ST-4 and 561 and 24.7kg at ST-5. The diversity index of each stations ranged between 1.49 and it showed the richness index of 2.13${\sim}$3.48, the evenness index of 0.48${\sim}$0.77 and the dominance index of 0.43${\sim}$0.8. Body length distributio of the dominant specise were 9${\sim}$32cm(fork length) for Japanese horse mackerel, Trachurus japonicus, 7${\sim}$23cm(mantle length) for Common squid, Todarodes pacificus, 9${\sim}$43cm(mantle length) for Spear squid, Loli해 bleekeri, 23${\sim}$36cm(total length) for File fish, Thamnaconus modestus, 10${\sim}$28cm(fork length) for Yellow porgy, Dentex tumifrons, 10${\sim}$36cm(fork length) for Target dory, Zeus faber and 8${\sim}$35cm(fork length) for Red seabream, Pagrus major.

The fishing experiment was carried out by the training ship Saebada in order to analyse the mesh selectivity for trawl cod-end, in the Southern Korea Sea and the East China Sea from June. 1991 through August, 1992. The trawl cod-end used in this experiment has the trouser type of cod-end with cover net. and the mesh selectivity was examined for the five kinds of the opening of mesh in its cod-end part. A total of 163 hauls, of which having mesh size 51.2mm ; A 89, 70.2mm ; B 54, 77.6mm ; C 55, 88.0mm ; D 52 and 111.3mm ; E 20 were used respectively. Selection curves and selection parameters were calculated by using a logistic function, S=1/(1+exp super(-(aL+b)) ). The mesh election master curves were estimated by S=1/(1+exp super(-[a(L/M)+$\beta$]) ). and the optimum mesh size were calculated with (L/M) sub(50) of master curve. In these cases 'a' and '$\alpha$' are slope, 'b' and '$\beta$' are intercept. 'L' is body length of the target species of fishes, 'M' is the mesh size, and 'S' denotes mesh selectivity. In this report, the four species of compressed form fishes were taken analized according to fish shape, and 'S' denotes mesh selectivity. In this report, the four species of compressed form fishes were taken analized according to fish shape, and the results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Red seabream Pagrus major(Temminct et Schlegel) and yellow porgy Dentex tumifrons(Temminct et Schlegel) ; Selection rate in each mesh size of A, B, C, D and E were 99.7%, 97.5%, 91.4%, 76.7% and 57.8% respectively. Selection parameters 'a' and 'b' of mesh sizes C, D and E were 2.65 and -28.62, 4.40 and -77.73, 2.31 and -46.99, and their selection factors were 1.39, 2.10, 1.83 respectively. Selection parameters of master curve '$\alpha$' and '$\beta$' were 3.05 and -5.65 respectively, and (L/M) sub(50) was 1.85. The optimum mesh size of Red seabream was 141mm. 2. Filefish Thamnaconus modestus (Gunther) ; Selection rate in each mesh size of A, B, C, D and E were 99.6%, 98.3%, 91.2%, 80.0% and 48.6% respectively. Selection parameters 'a' and 'b' of mesh sizes C, D and E were 5.82 and -55.10, 2.92 and -36.90, 3.91 and -63.09, and their selection factors were 1.35, 1.44, 1.45 respectively. Selection parameters of master curve '$\alpha$' and '$\beta$' were 3.02 and -4.32 respectively, and (L/M) sub(50) was 1.43. The optimum mesh size was 129mm. 3.
