In the early 90's croaker stocks were at a low ebb and few were caught. But then stocks rebounded and for the last nine years or so 26 to 28 million pounds a year of the fish have been caught nationally. Croaker catch in the Chesapeake Bay followed a similar trend ranging between 10 and 15 million pounds for the years 1996 to 2003.

Virginia Oyster Aquaculture Production And Marketing Virginia Oyster Aquaculture Production And Marketing Survey, Paul Jesperson, Shawn Stickler
Reports
As aquaculture replaces wild harvest of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay region, we felt that there was a need to reevaluate how producers could get their products to market in the most efiicient, profitable way. In order to do this, we wanted to capture the lessons learned in other regions that have already made the progression from wild harvest to aquaculture, such as France, New England, and the Pacific Northwest.
In this study, we examined the methods of productions and marketing that are currently in use in regions beyond the Chesapeake, including the Northeastern United States, the Pacific Northwest, and …

Project Management For Virginia Seafood Council’S Economic Analysis Of Triploid C. Ariakensis Aquaculture (Year 1 And 2), A. J. Erskine
Reports
The Virginia Seafood Council (VSC) project for 2003-2005 focused on industry field trials with genetic triploid Crassoslrea ariakensis. This entailed deployment of approximately 100,000 C. ariakensis at each often industry participants' private oyster grounds to test aquaculture grow-out methods and marketability. In addition deployment of genetic triploid C. virginica allowed for a side-by-side comparison.
