Culture Of The Bay Scallop, Argopecten Irradians, In Virginia, Michael Castagna
VIMS Articles
In recent years there has been increased interest in the development of marine aquaculture or mariculture. Techniques for growing many traditional species. such as oysters and quahogs. have been developed, and considerable effort has also been made to test the feasibility of culturing new . less traditional species (Loosanoff and Davis,1963 : Iversen. 1968; McNeil, 1970; Price and Maurer, 1971: and Milne ,1972). This paper reviews the natural history of the bay scallop. Argopecten irradians Lamarck, and presents a review of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science's (VIMS) continuing research on this species which began in 1968.

VIMS Articles
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 …

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
