A Survey Of Commercial Shellfish Around Pig Point In The Nansemond River, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
A Survey Of Commercial Shellfish Around Pig Point In The Nansemond River, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
This is a report of work done by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in accordance with an agreement with NUS Corporation, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The objective of this study was to determine on public bottoms the magnitude of the oyster and clam resource in the vicinity of the proposed refinery at Pig Point and along the proposed pipeline from Newport News to Pig Point. The area covered in this study was the width of the James and extended from just up-river of Craney Island to Candy Point. Included in this report is a review of production, MSX, and pollution in …
Survey Of Cultchless Spat Planted By The Vmrc In Nomini And Lower Machodoc Creek, Dexter S. Haven
Survey Of Cultchless Spat Planted By The Vmrc In Nomini And Lower Machodoc Creek, Dexter S. Haven
Reports
As part of a major repletion activity by the VMRC, cultchless spat were planted in Lower Machodoc Creek and Nomini Creek in October and November 1973. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science surveyed these plantings on 10 and 11 December, 1973. The areas planted and surveyed are shown in figures 1 and 2.
In Lower Machodoc Creek, 5.35 acres were planted with 240.5 bushels of cultchless spat during October, 1973. Within this area, five sub-areas were seeded, each with about one million spat. In Nomini Creek there were two planting areas. The largest was located in Nomini Cut, and seven …

Oyster And Hard Clam Distribution In The Lower York River With Notes On Culture, Disease And Pollution, Dexter Haven, Paul Kendall
Oyster And Hard Clam Distribution In The Lower York River With Notes On Culture, Disease And Pollution, Dexter Haven, Paul Kendall
Reports
Outlined in this report are aspects of the distribution and. culture of clams and oysters of the lower York River. Included are two acetate overlays attached to u. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 492. The first shows locations and density of the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria; the second shows the location of public oyster and clam grounds, oyster planting ground, and half-acre plots held by "riparian rights". Accompanying the latter chart is a complete list of the names and addresses of the holders of all "riparian rights" and lease holders (Appendix I). The area covered by this list is …

Observations On Distribution And Abundance Of Red Crabs In Norfolk Canyon And Adjacent Continental Slope, Pa Haefner, Ja Musick
Observations On Distribution And Abundance Of Red Crabs In Norfolk Canyon And Adjacent Continental Slope, Pa Haefner, Ja Musick
VIMS Articles
The results of June, 1973 trawl and trap sets in the Norfolk Canyon and adjacent slope area are summarized with respect to red crab (Geryon quinquedens) distribution and abundance. Red crabs ranged in depth from 145 to 870 fathoms but were most abundant from 145 to 280 fathoms. This species was more abundant on the adjacent slope area than in Norfolk Canyon. Crabs caught ranged from 2 to 6 inches in carapace width. Most of the crabs were in the hard shell condition but a few peeler, soft, and papershell crabs were also caught, indicating that molting was occurring. The …

Distribution And Relative Abundance Of Seven Species Of Skates (Pisces: Rajidae) Which Occur Between Nova Scotia And Cape Hatteras, John D. Mceachran, John A. Musick
VIMS Articles
Data collected during eight groundfish surveys of the area from Nova Scotia to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and during five seasonal surveys of Chesapeake Bight were used to define the distribution and relative abundance of Raja eglanteria, R. garmani, R. laeuis, R erinacea, R. ocellata, R. senta, and R. radiata. Ancillary distributional data for the area from the Straits of Florida to Cape Hatteras and the areas off northern Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence were used qualitatively to extend the distributional study.

Mercenaria Mercenaria (Mollusca: Bivalvia): Temperature-Time Relationships For Survival Of Embryos And Larvae, Vs Kennedy, Wh Roosenburg, M Castagna, Ja Mihursky
VIMS Articles
To estimate the effects of entrainment of Mercenaria mercenaria embryos and larvae in the cooling water systems of steam-electric power plants, we used a thermal gradient apparatus. Cleavage stages, trochophore larvae and straight-hinge veliger larvae were subjected to 11 different temperatures for 8 different time periods. There was a direct relationship of mortality with temperature increase and, at higher temperatures , with increase in time exposure. As the clams aged, temperature tolerance increased, with cleavage stages most sensitive to higher temperature and straight-hinge larvae least sensitive. Multiple regression analyses of percentage mortality on temperature and time produced estimating equations that …

Inventory Of Surf Clams In Nearshore Waters From Cape Henlopen To The False Cape Area : Quarterly Progress Report, September 16, 1974 - December 15, 1974, Joseph G. Loesch
Inventory Of Surf Clams In Nearshore Waters From Cape Henlopen To The False Cape Area : Quarterly Progress Report, September 16, 1974 - December 15, 1974, Joseph G. Loesch
Reports
A survey of the surf clam@pisula solidissima) in the nearshore area along the Delmarva Peninsula and further offshore from Cape Henry to upper North Carolina was conducted from 4 October, 1974 through 15 October, 1974. The project is a joint undertaking by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMF'S) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). A total of 138 sites were sampled with a hydraulic tow dredge and, in addition, a benthic sample for juvenile clams were obtained at each site with a Smith-MacIntyre sampler.

Reports
1-664 will be constructed in Hampton Roads in an area where the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria is fished commercially. Because of this c.lam's economic value and because Hampton Roads is the major producing region for this species, it is worthwhile that every precaution be taken during construction of I-664 to minimize the possibility of .damage to this resource. ·To achieve this objective, we are evaluating the possible impact of construction activities around I-64 and adjacent areas on populations of the hard clam. The aim is that if damage or potential damage. is noted around I-64, then construction techniques may be …
