A MODEL EXPERIMENT ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FISHING GEAR OF LAMPARA NET

The purpose of this study is to develop a net design for the stern fis hing system of surrounding net using a lampara net. First, experiments were carried out using the model lampara net on the sinking motion un der static water condition, and on the closing characteristics of the opening area on the lead line and side shape of the model net under th e flow of water. The sinking speed of the model net was different acco rding to the measuring point on the lead line. The depth of the lead l ine gradually became shallow as the flow velocity increased, The close d time of the opening area on the lead line was different according to the given flow velocity. When the model net moved about the same leng th of the float line, the opening area on the lead line was almost clo sed.
