삼각망(fyke net)과 삼중자망(trammel net)의 망목을 달리하여 횡성호에서 2005년 4월부터 10월까지의 기간에 포획된 어류는 총 8과 22종 8,626개체였고, 생체량은 122.9kg이었다. 이중 삼각망에서 8과 21종 8,168개체가 출현하였고 생체량은 96.6kg이었고, 삼중자망에서 6과16종 458개체였고 생체량은 26.3kg이었다 분석결과 삼중자망이 삼각망에 비하여 출현종, 개체수, 그리고 생체량 모두 현저하게 낮았다. 한편 출현종의 수는 망목의 크기가 작아짐에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 망목이 작은 삼각망은 작은 치어부터 대형어류까지 모두 채집할 수 있어 그 지역의 세부적인 어류상을 정성적으로 분석하는데 알맞을 것으로 보이고 삼충자망은 적절한 크기의 망목을 사용할 경우 조사지역의 출현종을 파악하는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
Fish community in the Hoengseong Reservoir was investigated from April to October 2005. The total number of fish caught from the period was 8,626 fish representing 22 species and 8 families, using tyke net and trammel net. Besides biomass was 122.9 kg. In the fyke net, 8,168 individuals caught during the period represented 21 species belonged to 8 families, its biomass was 90.6 kg. On the other hand, 458 individuals caught in the trammel net during the period represented 16species belonged to 6 families, its biomass was 26.3 kg. The results showed that the trammel net had lower number of species, individuals, and less biomass compared to those of the tyke net. Number of species confirmed was increased according as mesh size of the net was smaller. Besides, the fyke net with small mesh size was able to collect not only small-sized fish but also large-sized fish so that it was suitable to study qualitative and quantitative analysis of fish fauna in detail. Whereas, the trammel net with proper mesh size was effective to determine composition of fish species in the studied area.
