Striped Bass Research, Virginia - Completion Report 1984, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
Striped Bass Research, Virginia - Completion Report 1984, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science
Reports
The research reported herein is directly in response to priorities established in the "Action Plan" of the Emergency Striped Bass Study (the Chafee Amendment (PL 96-118) of the Anadromous Fish Conservation Act (PL 89-304)). The Amendment was the result of a decline in striped bass landings along the Atlantic Coast that began in the mid-1970's. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) had previously conducted a juvenile striped bass seining program from 1967 through 1973 which was discontinued at that point due to a loss of funding. The program was reinstated in 1980 with funding from the National Marine Fisheries …

Mortality And Behavior Of Sea Turtles In The Chesapeake Bay : Summary Report For 1979 Through 1983, John A. Musick, Richard A. Byles, Ruthellen Klinger, Sarah A. Bellmund
Reports
Research on the populations of juvenile sea turtles utilize the Chesapeake Bay as a summer foraging area has been pursued by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) since 1979. The largest part of the funding for our studies has come from National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the form of· student fellowship grants with recent substantial contributions also by the Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries Commission and VIMS. This report is a summary of studies carried out through 1983. It consists of sections analyzing telemetry, conventional tagging, mortalities, fishing conflicts, population description and abundance.

Hydrodynamic Aspects Of Shark Scales, William G. Raschi, John A. Musick
Reports
The energetics of fish locomotion depends on a balance between thrust and drag. The interest stimulated by "Gray's Paradox", that is the seeming lack of sufficient power to overcome many of the estimated values of drag, has resulted in the delineation of a number of potential drag reducing mechanisms (Webb, 1975). Of particular interest is a variety of structural mechanisms, such as scombroid scale corselets (Walters, 1962) and scale ctenii (Burdak, 1969; Bone, 1972), which increase surface roughness and thereby alter boundary layer characteristics. Elasmobranch placoid scales, or dermal denticles, may perform such a function. Bone and Howarth (1966) have …
