모형통발에 대한 새우의 행동에 관한 수조실험과 민꽃게를 주대상으로 하고 붕장어 등을 혼획할 수 있는 실물 통발에 의한 시험을 한 바는 대략 다음과 같다. 1. 모형통발 실험에서 나일론 망지, 폴리에틸렌망지 및 면망지등 망지의 재료를 달리한 경우 입망마리수의 차이가 거의 없었으나 입구의 형태에서는 밑판의 경사 각도가 클수록 입망마리수와 도피율이 낮았다. 원추형 입구에서는 각주형입구보다 도피율이 낮았다. 2. 미끼의 종류에 대한 실험에서는 바지락, 새우, 전갱이, 고등어, 어류의 내장 및 족발등 여러 가지 미끼에 대한 선택성을 실험하였는데 미끼의 종류 보다는 신선도가 더 중요한 것 같이 생각된다. 3. 5가지 실물통발을 사용하여 실지시험한 결과에서는 양쪽에 입구가 있는 원추형(A형), 입구가 양쪽에 있는 각주형(C형) 및 C형에 혀그물이 달린 D형에서 민꽃게의 어획이 좋았고, 입구가 웃면에만 어주형(B형)과 철틀을 달아 2층으로 한 E형에서 어획이 나쁘다. 4. 붕장어의 어획은 A형, D형에서 많고, B형 E형에서 적은 경향이 있으나 C형은 특이하게 A형보다 어획이 적을뿐 다른 어느 형과도 유의차를 보이지 않는다. 5. B형, E형은 고기의 입망 어려운 반면 A형 C형은 고기의 입망이 쉬우나 도피도 쉬우며, 특히 C형은 도피가 더욱 쉽다. 결국 도피는 각주형 통발 보다 원추형 통발에서 더 어렵고, 혀그물이 없는 것보다 있는 것에서 더 어려운 것으로 나타났다.
Difference of the entering and the escaping behaviour of shrimp(Palaemon pacificus) to the model traps were observed in accordance with netting materials, baits, type of traps and slope of flapper, and gathering responses were also investigated on the odour of bait extracts in the aquarium as the preliminary test. In order to investigate the difference in catch according to type and structure of traps those designated from A to E were made of iron frames and nettings. The type A was a conical shape with two entrances at its both sides and the others were square piller shape with one entrance at their upper surface(type B) or two entrance at their both ends(type C, D and E). However th type D and E were connected with flapper and the thye E was made by attaching iron frames of same height under the type D. The traps were prepared 10 each and so a total of 50 traps were used in the experiment at sea. The main species caught was Charybdis japonica, but Astroconger myriaster was also caught fairly. The catches of these species were significant in difference between the types of traps. That is, Charybdis japonica was caught more in type A, C and D than others and less in type B and E, and Astroconger myriaster was caught more in type A and D and less in type B and E. However the catch of Astroconger myriaster in type C, even if less than that in type A showed no significant difference with the other traps. The total catch of Charybdis japonica and Astroconger myriaster was almost same in order with the catch of Charybdis japonica. The type B and E seemed to be difficult in entering of fishes into them. However, the type A and C seemed to be easy not only in entering, but also in escaping. Especially, the type C showed more escaping. On the other hand, the type D seemed to be not so easy in entering of fishes as type A and C, but very difficult in escaping. Consequently, the escaping of fishes from the traps seemed to be more difficult in conical traps than any other traps. The catches might be influenced by the bait with bag compare to without bag and also the immersed time of traps into water for fishing.
