Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1988 Annual Summary, Bruce Barber, James Whitcomb
Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1988 Annual Summary, Bruce Barber, James Whitcomb
Reports
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) conducts annual surveys of oyster spatfall ( or "sett.ing") in Virginia waters. This survey provides an estimate of the potential of a particular area for receiving a "striken or set of oysters and helps define the timiug of setting events. In 1988 spatfall was monitored from June 6 to October 16 at a total of forty-two stations (Figure 1). · During this period shellstrings were deployed at each station (0.5m off the bottom) on a weekly basis. A shellstring consists of 12 oyster shells drilled through the center and strung on a piece …
Experimental Studies Of Zinc-65 Uptake Rates By The American Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica With Regard To Salinity, Sediment Concentration, And Body Size, Cheol Mo, Bruce Neilson
Experimental Studies Of Zinc-65 Uptake Rates By The American Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica With Regard To Salinity, Sediment Concentration, And Body Size, Cheol Mo, Bruce Neilson
Reports
Three sets of twelve oysters from the ,James River were placed in three recirculating aquaria dosed with the radioactive tracer zinc-65. All aquaria had the same amount of river bottom sediment which was kept in suspension by the water movement caused by aeration; one aquarium had twice as much tracer as the other two. The salinity of one of the low dose aquaria and. the high dose aquarium was maintained at 18 0/00: the other low dose aquarium was maintained at 1:2 0/00. All other factors were kept constant. Sediment-water-tracer mix was added to the aquaria every 12 hours. Water …

Comparative Analysis Of Sea Scallop Escapement/Retention And Resulting Economic Impacts, William D. Dupaul, Edward J. Heist, James E. Kirkley
Reports
During the months of June and September 1988, gear experiments were conducted aboard the F/V Carolina Dawn and Carolina Capes. The primary objective of the experiments was to assess the technical efficiency and size selectivity of 3.5-inch ring dredges relative to the current commercially-used 3.0-inch ring dredges. Secondary objectives were to analyze the economic and regulatory ramifications of using 3.5-inch ring dredges to control the age-at-capture and enhance the yield-per- recruit.
Analysis Of Effluents And Associated Sediments And Tissue For Toxic Organic Compounds, 1987-1988 : Final Report To Virginia State Water Control Board, Robert Hale, Craig L. Smith
Analysis Of Effluents And Associated Sediments And Tissue For Toxic Organic Compounds, 1987-1988 : Final Report To Virginia State Water Control Board, Robert Hale, Craig L. Smith
Reports
Effluent and sediment samples were collected from 30 point source discharge sites within tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, and analyzed for the presence of toxic organic compounds. The facilities selected included: municipal treatment plants, oil refining and storage operations, shipyards, military bases, paper companies, electrical power generators and various other manufacturing enterprises. In addition to sediment, shellfish were collected from the receiving streams. Unfortunately, environmental conditions in the vicinity of many of the facilities were unsatisfactory for the long-term survival of shellfish. As a consequence their availability was limited. ....

Recalibration Of Pagan River Water Quality Model, Albert Kuo, Gamble M. Sisson, Bruce J. Neilson
Recalibration Of Pagan River Water Quality Model, Albert Kuo, Gamble M. Sisson, Bruce J. Neilson
Reports
Two water quality models of the Pagan River were developed in the 1970s by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The first model was developed under the CSA (cooperative state agencies) program (Kuo, Lewis and Fang, 1976). It simulated the oxidation of organic matter and the effect that, and reaeration, had on the dissolved oxygen regime of the river. The model included four water quality parameters: salinity, dissolved oxygen, carbonaceous oxygen demand and nitrogenous oxygen demand. A later model, developed as part of the Hampton Roads 208 studies, was an expansion of the first one. It included the nitrogen and …
Population Status Of Five Potentially Threatened Vascular Plants From Coastal Plain Tidal Rivers In Virginia, Carl Hershner, James Perry
Population Status Of Five Potentially Threatened Vascular Plants From Coastal Plain Tidal Rivers In Virginia, Carl Hershner, James Perry
Reports
Work is underway to clarify the population status of Virginia's biota that have been considered rare, endangered, or of an unknown population status by earlier scientists (Porter, 1979). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the population status and areal distribution of five of these plant species found on the tidal rivers of the Coasta1 Plain in Virginia. Although only a small portion of a much larger effort, it is hoped that this work will help fill some of the gaps that exist in our data base on these species. Furthermore, it is hoped that the following information …
The Effects Of Salinity On Cadmium Toxicity To The Bay Mysid, Mysidopsis Bahia Molenock, Peter F. De Lisle
The Effects Of Salinity On Cadmium Toxicity To The Bay Mysid, Mysidopsis Bahia Molenock, Peter F. De Lisle
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The effects of salinity on cadmium toxicity to the bay mysid, Mysidopsis bahia Molenock were studied in a series of experiments examining salinity tolerance, effect of salinity on intermolt period, osmoregulatory capacity, interaction of salinity with acute cadmium toxicity, role of changes in cadmium speciation, modification due to calcium antagonism and effects of cadmium on osmoregulatory ability. Upper and lower tolerance limits increased with increasing acclimation salinity. Intermolt duration decreased slightly with increasing salinity. Mysidopsis bahia osmoregulates at salinities from 5 to 37&\perthous& and exhibits an isosmotic point of 24&\perthous&. Hemolymph osmolality attained steady-state condition by 95 min post-transfer to …

Investigation Of Tributyltin: Water/Sediment Interactions, Michael A. Unger
Investigation Of Tributyltin: Water/Sediment Interactions, Michael A. Unger
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) have been quantitatively analyzed in environmental water samples using gas chromatography with flame photometric detection and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The butyltins were extracted from environmental samples with hexane/0.2% tropolone and derivatized with hexyl magnesium bromide to form hexylbutyltins. Full scanning GC/MS was used for confirmation of peak identifications and quantification was done by selective ion monitoring (methane chemical ionization) at m/z 319 (TBT) and m/z 347 (DBT, MBT and tripentyltin, the internal standard). Calibration curves were linear and detection limits were less than 2 ngL&\sp{lcub}-1{rcub}&. GC/MS and GC …
