Claim One:
1. A fishing simulation method for three-dimensionally simulating a fishery environment implemented including underwater physicochemical environment and fish school behavior and a fishing activity implemented including fishing boat movement, fishing machine operation, fishing gear movement, and fish detection through the use of a fishing simulator comprising: an input section for inputting set values that implement the fishery environment and the fishing activity; a driving section for inputting whether a fishing boat, a fishing machine, a fishing gear, and a fish finding apparatus are in operation, as well as driving values; a control section for previously setting proceeding speeds and directions of sound waves of a sonar system and a fish finder constituting the fish finding apparatus, processing fish detection data of the sonar system and the fish finder, and processing underwater physicochemical environment data, fish school behavior data, fishing boat movement data, fishing machine operation data, fishing gear movement data, and fish detection data using the set values and driving values inputted from the input section and the driving section; and an output section for displaying the fishery environment and the fishing activity based on the underwater physicochemical environment data, fish school behavior data, fishing boat movement data, fishing machine operation data, fishing gear movement data, and fish detection data received from the control section, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a sea-bottom topography mode and the speed and direction of a tide as set values through the input section, and allowing the control section to process the underwater physicochemical environment data; receiving the type and the number of entities of fish as set values through the input section, and allowing the control section to process the fish school behavior data using the sea-bottom topography mode and the speed and direction of a tide as condition values; receiving the type of the fishing boat as a set value through the input section, receiving the proceeding speed and direction of the fishing boat as driving values through the driving section, and allowing the control section to process the fishing boat movement data; selecting the type of the fishing machine, other than the fishing gear to be used for the fishing activity, as a set value through the input section and receiving the type as a set value, receiving an operation value related to the selected fishing machine through the driving section, and allowing the control section to process the fishing machine operation data; receiving the type of the fishing gear as a set value through the input section, receiving the length of a line of the fishing gear thrown into water from the fishing boat as a driving value through the driving section, and allowing the control section to process the fishing gear movement data using the sea-bottom topography mode, the speed and direction of a tide, the proceeding speed and direction of the fishing boat, and the length of the line of the fishing gear as condition values; allowing the control section to process sonar system detection data using the proceeding speed and direction of the sound wave of the sonar system and the proceeding speed and direction of the fishing boat previously set in the control section as condition values; allowing the control section to process fish finder detection data using the proceeding speed and direction of the sound wave of the fish finder and the proceeding speed and direction of the fishing boat previously set in the control section as condition values; and three-dimensionally displaying the fishery environment implemented including the underwater physicochemical environment and the fish school behavior and the fishing activity implemented including the fishing boat movement, fishing machine operation, fishing gear movement, and fish detection on a three-dimensional space by associating the underwater physicochemical environment data, fish school behavior data, fishing boat movement data, fishing machine operation data, fishing gear movement data, sonar system detection data, fish finder detection data processed in the above steps with each other.
