Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact on the fishery resources and marine ecosystems by derelict fishing gears as part of the R & E (Research and Education) program that supervised by the busan metropolitan city office of education. In this study, we verified the ghost fishing effects caused by derelict fishing gears through the process which fish were caught to be attracted to bait for gillnet and trap in tank. In results, the dead fish to be gilled in gillnet and to enter in pot have been shown to attract other fish to the bait role. The result showed that the ghost fishing was caused by abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gears continuously. In particular, as a result of pot experiment, if the lost pot has a escape device, the entered fish could escape from the pot and the fisheries resources could protect from derelict fishing gears. In addition, the high school students are capable of raising the problem solving skills through carrying out the research project and expect to contribute to raising awareness about the protection of the marine environment.
