Usable Meat Yields In The Virginia Surf Clam Fishery, Joseph G. Loesch
Usable Meat Yields In The Virginia Surf Clam Fishery, Joseph G. Loesch
VIMS Articles
The weight of surf clam meat landed in Virginia is estimated by the National Marine Fisheries Service, Division of Statistics and Market News (DSMN) by multiplying bushels landed by a constant of 17 lb (7. 71 kg) of total meat per bushel. However, total meat weight includes the viscera, a portion of clam not utilized by the industry. Herein is an analysis of the yield of useable surf clam meat weight per bushel and seasonal variability in meat weight relative to seawater temperature for Virginia stocks

The genus Sciaena , heretofore monotypic, is characterized by the lack of mental barbels and an elongate swimbladder with no appendages. Two new species S. trewavasae and S. bathytatos are described herein. The new species differ from S. umbra, the type species of the genus, and from one another in the following characters: S. umbra has 11 + 14 vertebrae, 15-20 gill rakers, 23-26 soft dorsal rays, 9-13 inner gill rakers; S. trewavasae has 10 + 15 vertebrae, 19-21 gill rakers, 24-26 soft dorsal rays, 13-16 inner gill rakers; S. baillylalos has 11 + 14 vertebrae, 22-27 gill rakers, 21-23 …

Reproduction And Recruitment Of The Brackish Water Clam, Rangia Cuneata In The James River, Virginia, Thomas D. Cain
VIMS Articles
Reproduction and recruitment of the brackish water clam Rangia cuneata were investigated in the James River, Va., from February 1970 to January 1972. Histological examinations of gonads were made, newly set clams were collected, and temperature and salinity measurements were taken from three populations living in different salinity regimes.
