History And Current Status: James River Navigation Project, William J. Hargis Jr. Aug 1962

History And Current Status: James River Navigation Project, William J. Hargis Jr.

Reports

The purposes of this report are: 1) to briefly recount the history of the James River Channel, or more properly--the James River Navigation Project; and, 2) to discuss the present situation pertaining to proposed changes in the river bed or channel in the critical estuarine area located between Hampton Roads and Jamestown Island.


The Blue Crab And Its Fishery In Chesapeake Bay Part 2 - Types Of Gear For Hard Crab Fishing, W. A. Van Engel Aug 1962

The Blue Crab And Its Fishery In Chesapeake Bay Part 2 - Types Of Gear For Hard Crab Fishing, W. A. Van Engel

VIMS Articles

During the 90-year history of the Chesapeake Bay blue crab fishery, many types of fishing devices were tried, but only pots, trotlines, and dredges proved suitable, and they emerged as the primary types of gear for catchfng hard crabs. In the early years of the fishery, trotlines with their various modifications were used princip~lly for catching hard crabs in the summer. The Chesapeake Bay crab pot, patented in 1938 and modified only slightly since, gradually replaced the trotline. Pots now account for two-thirds of the Virginia hard crab catch and more than half of the Maryland catch, The dredge, first …


Respiration, Electron-Transport Enzymes, And Krebs-Cycle Enzymes In Early Developmental Stages Of The Oyster Crassostrea Virginica, Robert E. Black Aug 1962

Respiration, Electron-Transport Enzymes, And Krebs-Cycle Enzymes In Early Developmental Stages Of The Oyster Crassostrea Virginica, Robert E. Black

VIMS Articles

A marked increase in the rate of respiration during early development has been noted in many different organisms (see Brachet, 1950 ; Boell, 1955). In most cases the changes in respiratory enzymes which might contribute to the respiratory increases have not been fully studied. Of particular interest in this connection are studies which have dealt with enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (citric acid) cycle, as well as those investigations of the enzymes involved in the transfer of electrons between substrates and oxygen, via the systems which oxidize reduced pyridine nucleotides and succinic acid.


The Concentrations Of Some Enzymes Of The Citric Acid Cycle And Electron Transport System In The Large Granule Graction Of Eggs And Trochophores Of The Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica, Robert E. Black Aug 1962

The Concentrations Of Some Enzymes Of The Citric Acid Cycle And Electron Transport System In The Large Granule Graction Of Eggs And Trochophores Of The Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica, Robert E. Black

VIMS Articles

In an accompanying report Black (1962) has shown that considerable changes in the relative activities of several enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle occur during early development of the oyster. Thus, between the blastula and trochophore stages two enzymes, TPN-specific isocitric dehydrogenase and aipha-keto glutaric dehydrogenase, increase 2- to 3-fold, roughly paralleling the increase in respiration during this same period. Five other enzymes were found not to change appreciably during development to the trochophore. These were: aconitase, succinic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, DPNH oxidase, and cytochrome oxi dase. Following the trochophore stage cytochrome oxidase decreased somewhat in activity, while the other …

Oyster Mortality Studies In Virginia: Ill. Epizootiology Of A Disease Caused By Haplosporidium Costale Wood And Andrews, Jay D. Andrews, John L. Wood, H. Dickson Hoese Jan 1962

Oyster Mortality Studies In Virginia: Ill. Epizootiology Of A Disease Caused By Haplosporidium Costale Wood And Andrews, Jay D. Andrews, John L. Wood, H. Dickson Hoese

VIMS Articles

A short, sharp eplzootic disease of oysters on Seaside of Eastern Shore, Virginia, has been associated with a new pathogen, Haplosporidium costale Wood and Andrews. Native oysters in trays have shown closely timed May-June losses for three consecutive years. Losses at other seasons were small. May-June losses ranged from 12 to 14 percent in 1959 to 36 to 44 percent in 1960. James River oysters moved to Seaside showed higher losses than natives after a year of acclimation. Oysters in Bayside creeks revealed late summer losses caused by Dermocystidimn marinmn Mackin, Owens, and Collier rather than May-June deaths.

The new …


Chaetognatha From The Florida Current And Coastal Water Of The Southeastern Atlantic States, E.Lowe Pierce, Marvin L. Wass Jan 1962

Chaetognatha From The Florida Current And Coastal Water Of The Southeastern Atlantic States, E.Lowe Pierce, Marvin L. Wass

VIMS Articles

This paper reports the Chaetognatha in plankton samples collected in the waters off the coast of the southeastern Atlantic States during nine cruises of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's M/V Theodore N. Gill. From a total of 590 samples examined 12 species representing 3 genera are identified. The results show the distribution of chaetognaths to be very uniform paralleling the coast in a north-south direction. There are no apparent seasonal changes in the distribution of the species. Across the continental shelf and Florida Current they decreased noticeably in abundance. The inshore stations usually have two to five times …


Synoptic Comparison Of Seston Loads In The Rappahannock, York And James Rivers, Bernard C. Patten Jan 1962

Synoptic Comparison Of Seston Loads In The Rappahannock, York And James Rivers, Bernard C. Patten

Reports

This report summarizes data obtained during summer, 1962 on suspended solids profiles at Hog House Bar (Rappahannock, directly out from Urbanna Creek to 30 ft depth), the productivity buoy (York, 30 ft) and Wreck Shoal (James, adjacent to buoy 12 at edge of channel, 30 ft). Water samples obtained the same day from the three stations at s, 2 (ft), 61 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, B were analyzed for total, organic and inorganic seston by the gravimetric procedure described in VIMS Special Scientific Report No. 20 (1961). Temperature, chlorinity and extinction coefficient profiles were recorded, as well as Sand …


Winter Mortalities Of Oysters On The Eastern Shore Of Virginia, 1959-1961, H. Dickson Hoese Jan 1962

Winter Mortalities Of Oysters On The Eastern Shore Of Virginia, 1959-1961, H. Dickson Hoese

Reports

During the winter of 1960-61 exceptional mortalities occurred among certain oysters on the Virginia Seaside. These mortalities were greatest among James River oysters held intertidally and South Carolina imports placed below low tide level. Intertidal native oysters suffered small mortalities but among subtidal native or James River oysters only the very oldest, with extensive disease histories, showed any winter mortality. (...)

Evidence Of A Naturally Occurring Inhibitor Possibly Limiting Dermocystidium Marinum In Virginia, H. Dickson Hoese Jan 1962

Evidence Of A Naturally Occurring Inhibitor Possibly Limiting Dermocystidium Marinum In Virginia, H. Dickson Hoese

Reports

Dermocystidium marinum, a fungus parasite common in oysters on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay, suddenly dissapeared at the beginning of the marsh and bay system of' the outer Virginia coast. No D. marinum was found on the outer coast (Seaside) although temperatures and salinities seem to be optimal. Introduction of populations of infected oysters seem to lose the dieease, but individuals do not. What seems to be a water derived inhibitor was found in a few water samples collected at Wachapreague on the Seaside. Comparable inhibition was not found in Chesapeake Bay water. The inhibitor is difficult to demonstrate …
