The Economic History Of The Fisheries Of The Eastern Shore Of Virginia, John B. Pleasants

Reports

The economic history of the Eastern Shore has been greatly affected by both its natural characteristics and its location. Each has had both good and bad effects, with the very advantages carrying with them serious disadvantages in a bewildering juxtaposition. For instance, the sea and bay provide a boundless resource of commercially desirable species, yet lead to isolation from major markets of the area. The very isolation 0£ the Eastern Shore and its low population density lessens the possibility of pollution, thus preserving the environment on which estuarine animals are dependent. (...)

Feasibility Of Increasing Striped Bass Populations By Stocking Of Underutilized Nursery Grounds : Annual Progress Report 1970-1971, George C. Grant, John V. Merriner

Reports

Numerous estuaries in the lower Chesapeake Bay region and coastal Virginia posseS3physical, chemical and biological properties favorable to their use as nursery grounds for striped bass .. Many of them, however, are not so utilized because of the absence of associated spawning grounds. This project was designed to investigate the feasibility of stocking such underutilized nursery grounds as a management device, while monitoring population parameters such as age composition, mortality rates and relative abundance of yearclasses.

Groups Of Associated Species In The Phytoplankton Of The Caribbean Sea (Ne Of Venezuela), Ramón Margalef, Fernando Gonzalez Bernaldes

Reports

This work results from the confluence of two programs of investigation and, naturally, from a common interest in ecological problems. The Institute of Forrestry and Plant Biology had utilized, besides other methods, the analysis of principle components of correlation matrices for the study of vegetation and have at their disposal adequate programs for the treatment of a great volume of data. For its part, the Institute of Fishery Investigations is interested in very similar problems of classification, standardization and calculation, and has collected a large quantity of data on the cell density of different species in the plankton and environmental …

Chesapeake Bay Bibliography - Volume I The James River, Susan O. Barrick, May B. Daw, Pamela S. Tennyson, Frank J. Wojcik, John J. Norcross, William J. Hargis Jr.

Reports

The Chesapeake Bay Bibliography was initiated by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in response to growing resource management problems of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. With these problems came the realization that planning and management of such a great natural resource is an overwhelming task requiring the best available information. This bibliography, therefore, was undertaken to document existing sources of information, to help identify research and data gathering needs, and to develop a comprehensive research and information services programs for individuals interested in research on, and management of the natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay region.

Some Sociological Perspectives On The Formation And Operation Of Commerical Fishery Cooperatives, Victor Ligouri

Reports

This report is intended to present a range of sociological perspectives: problems, questions pertaining to the formation and operation of cooperatives for and by commercial fishermen. It is a preliminary report which does not duplicate those discussions in publications specifically concerned with cooperatives (included in the selected bibliography), but rather offers themes and generalizations which I hope will prove useful, subject to criticism and discussion with staff members of VIMS. The first part of the report concerns planning the formation of a cooperative, with emphasis upon problems which have been encountered elsewhere.
