A Study Of Four Oyster Reefs In Mississippi, John Ogle Jan 1979

A Study Of Four Oyster Reefs In Mississippi, John Ogle

Gulf and Caribbean Research

A study of four oyster populations in Mississippi over 13 months (May 1978-May 1979) indicates that although oysters are sexually developed during most of the year (10 months), setting was variable in intensity, dependent upon location, and limited in all cases to one or two months. Mortality was variable, dependent upon location and was attributed to high predation at one station and to harvesting and fresh water at the other stations studied. Suggestions for management are discussed.


Patterns Of Suspended Particle Transport In A Mississippi Tidal Marsh System, Courtney T. Hackney, Armando A. De La Cruz Jan 1979

Patterns Of Suspended Particle Transport In A Mississippi Tidal Marsh System, Courtney T. Hackney, Armando A. De La Cruz

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The flux of suspended particulate organic detritus (POD) and suspended inorganic detritus (PID) was studied during ten diurnal tidal periods (24-hour) and three semidiurnal tidal periods (12-hour) between May 1975 and April 1976. The concentration of POD ranged from 1.50 to 19.79 mg/l, while the PID ranged from 3.20 to 99.61 mg/l. There was a net export of POD during four of 13 tidal periods and a net export of PID during five tidal periods. There was a total net movement of 39.32 and 292.51 kg of POD and PID, respectively, into the marsh. On an annual basis, this is …
