Multivariate Analysis Of Meristic Characters Of Juvenile Alosa : Completion Report 1985, Joseph C. Desfosse, Joseph G. Loesch

Reports

The objective was to determine if meristic studies supported a premise of river-specific stocks of American shad (Alosa sapidissima), alewife (A. pseudoharenqus) and blueback herring (A. aestivalis) in Chesapeake Bay. Information gathered from this study will add to the general body of data gathered for the implementation of management plans for each species.

Norfolk Canyon Marine Sanctuary Resources Study Plan : Final Report, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

Establishment of a Norfolk Canyon Marine Sanctuary provides the framework necessary to examine the biological, geological, and hydrographic processes functioning in submarine canyon systems and to improve the basis for management decisions related to exploitation of East Coast submarine canyons.

Research in submarine canyons is not an easy task. Although there are nearly 100 submarine canyons between Cape Hatteras and Nova Scotia, Norfolk Canyon, the canyon closest to the coast, is approximately 100 km from the nearest landfall. The Canyon begins at about the 80-100 m isobath contour and extends to a depth of more than 2000.

Striped Bass Research, Virginia - Annual Report 1985, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

The research reported herein is directly in response to priorities established in the "Action Plan" of the Emergency Striped Bass Study (the Chafee Amendment (PL 96-118) of the Anadromous Fish Conservation Act (PL 89- 304)). The Amendment was the result of a decline in striped bass landings i along the Atlantic Coast that began in the .mid-1970's. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) had previously conducted a juvenile striped bass seining program from 1967 through 1973 which was discontinued at that point due to a loss .of funding. The program was reinstated in 1980 with funding from the National …

Study Of Alosa Stock Composition And Year-Class Strength In Virginia: Annual Report 1984, Joseph G. Loesch, William H. Kriete Jr.

Reports

This presentation is the annual report for P. L. 89-304, AFC 13-1 project "Study of Alosa stock composition and year-class strength in Virginia," for the period 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1984. The fishes of concern were the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), American shad (A. sapidissima), and the blueback herring (A. aestivalis).

The following jobs were performed:

1. Evaluation of the Alosa Stocks and Fisheries in Virginia
2. A Study of Juvenile Alosa Abundance Growth and Mortality

Evaluation Of The Toxicity Of Contaminated Sediments In The James River, Virginia, Morris H. Roberts, Charles J. Strobel

Reports

The Virginia State Water Control.Board, in cooperation with the Department of Chemical Oceanography of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science has recently conducted periodic chemical surveys of organic pollutants in the sediments of the upper James River. The August 1983 survey showed elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) at Stations ·4 and 7 (Figure 1 and Table 1). Although the reported concentrations were approximately one order· of magnitude lower than those reported in contaminated areas of the Elizabeth River, they were deemed high enough to warrant_ further study based on reported toxicity of Elizabeth River sediments (Hargis et al. …

Anadromous Fisheries Research Program, Virginia - Completion Report 1980-83, Joseph G. Loesch, William H. Kriete Jr.

Reports

This presentation 1.s the completion report for P. L. 89-304, AFC 10 project "Anadromous Fisheries Research, Virginia," for the period 1 October 1979 to 31 December 1983. The fishes of concern were the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), American shad (A. sapidissima), and the blueback herring (A. aestivalis).

The Alosa species were once an important component of the landings of Virginia fisheries. In the last decade, however, there has been a dramatic decrease in American shad and river herring landings. The 1981 landings of Alusa species 1.n Virginia were the lowest ever recorded. American shad and river herring are also sought by …

Feasibility Of Commercial Fishing Operations In The Mid-Atlantic Continental Slope, Philip W. Cahill, P. Ronald Grulich, James A. Colvocoresses

Reports

The objective of the project was to test the feasibility of conducting commercial trawling operations in the slope waters ( 100 fm-300 fm) adjacent to the traditional fishing areas on the continental shelf in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. This was to be accomplished by developing a fishing strategy that would be structured around existing information on stock abundance, type and location and implementing the fishing strategy by procuring a lease on a commercial fishing vessel that would be suitable for slope trawling. The implementation of fishery operations would be the primary goal of the project and every effort would be made …
