Biology And Management Of River Herring And Shad In Virginia : Annual Report, Anadromous Fish Project 1975, Walter J. Hoagman, William H. Kriete

Reports

The number of pound nets and the catch of· alosines per net continued to decline in 1975. Effort by sta.ke gill nets.· increased but catch estimates declined. The James River · yielded an estimated 853,847 pounds of American shad (down 47% from 1974) with the peak of the run at the end of March. Stake gill nets landed 246,036. pounds of American shad in the York River, a decrease from 1974. Estimates of Hickory shad landings declined 83% in the York River. Pound nets in the Rappahannock River had a 75% reduction in American shad catch and stake gill net …

Biology And Management Of River Herring And Shad In Virginia : Annual Report, Anadromous Fish Project 1974, Walter J. Hoagman, John V. Merriner, William K. Kriete, Woodrow L. Wilson

Reports

This annual report covers the period October, .1973 through September, 1974. It is the seventh report generated by' the project, with 3-year completion reports prepared in 1970 and 1973. The project· is continuing at VIMS and each year allows stronger conclusions to be made concerning trends in the basic population parameters studied.

The 1970-1973 completion report was widely distributed in Virginia, libraries at fishery science institutes, and throughout the National Marine Fisheries Service. The completion report analyzed data from the entire history of the project. In many cases the entire summarized data core for a particular segment was presented, e.g. …

Inventory Of Surf Clams In Nearshore Waters From Cape Henlopen To The False Cape Area : Quarterly Progress Report, December 16, 1974 - March 15, 1975, Joseph G. Loesch

Reports

The main objectives of the study are to estimate distribution, relative abundance and recruitment of surf clams along the Delmarva Peninsula and in areas of intense harvesting off the Virginia coast. The project is a joint undertaking by the National :Larine Fisheries Service (NM.FS), and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). Herein-after it is associated with the latter Institution to avoid confusion with an NMFS surf clam cruise in Virginia and Nor h Carolina coastal waters in Augus t, 1974.

A Study Of The Archibenthic And Abysobenthic Fishes Of Deep Water Dump Site 106 And The Adjacent Area : Completion Report, John A. Musick, Charles A. Wenner, George R. Sedberry

Reports

Deep water dtnnp site 106 (DWD 106) is located 145 km off the coast of New Jersey and is bounded by the latitudes of ! 38°40' and 39°00'N and longitudes 72°00' and 72°30'W. The depth of DWD 106 varies from about 1300 min the northeast corner to • 2700 min the southwest (Fig. 1). Most of the site is deeper than 2000 m. Within DWD 106 is a smaller dwnp site that has been in use for many years for industrial wastes and munitions. Due south of DWD 106 is an additional dwnpsite (Fig. 1) at which the Atomic Energy …
