PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a fish-gathering effect in gathering fishes by utilizing the illumination of light.SOLUTION: This method for gathering the fishes is provided by illuminating the light having directivity from a light source 1 to water surface W. A deep incidence region B in which the incident depth of the light into water becomes deeper, is formed at a further far away direction than a shoal of fishes F formed by the gathered fishes. By moving the deep incidence region B to the direction of the light source 1, the shoal of fishes F is guided to the direction of the light source 1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】光の照射を利用した集魚において集魚効率を高める。【解決手段】指向性を有する光を光源1から水面Wに照射して魚類を集群させる。集群した魚類によって形成された魚群Fよりも遠方に光の水中への入射深度が深くなる深入射域Bを形成する。深入射域Bを光源1方向へ移動させて魚群Fを光源1方向へ誘導する。【選択図】 図1
