Report Of Sampling Conducted In Chuckatuck Creek On Leased Grounds Near The U.S. 17 Bridge, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Report Of Sampling Conducted In Chuckatuck Creek On Leased Grounds Near The U.S. 17 Bridge, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
This report conveys the results of a study of certain leased oyster grounds in the vicinity of the US 17 Bridge across Chuckatuck Creek. The study was made by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and School of Marine Science of the College of William and Mary for the Department of Highways and Transportation, Suffolk, Virginia. Purposes of the study were to: 1) provide a description of the shellfish resource prior to construction of a new, wider bridge; 2) estimate the value of the oysters and shell on leased areas within the right-of-way; and, 3) provide a basis for a …

A Study Of Leased Oyster Ground In Hampton River In The Vicinity Of The I-64 Bridge, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
A Study Of Leased Oyster Ground In Hampton River In The Vicinity Of The I-64 Bridge, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
In 1975 a study was completed by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) entitled "An Environmental Assessment of the Hampton .River and Vicinity." This was for federal project I-64 (142)240 - State Project 0064-114-103. It was completed for Sverdrup and Parcel Consulting Engineers, St. Louis, Missouri. A part of this report consisted of an .evaluation of the molluscan resource in a zone 600 feet wide on either side of the existing bridge. Leased as well as public bottoms were studied.
This report concluded that "the present level of production and the potential productivity (of the area) are low." Since …

A Study Of Oyster Ground Leases Adjacent To The James River Bridge, Newport News, Virginia, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
A Study Of Oyster Ground Leases Adjacent To The James River Bridge, Newport News, Virginia, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
Two leases of oyster planting ground adjacent to the James River Bridge at the Newport News end were studied in December, 1978. Sampling revealed that one area contained large quantities of oysters while, on the other area, oysters were scarce. Comparison with sample results and fathometer-traced bottom profiles taken in a 1976 study of the same areas indicates a close similarity.

Reports
The areas opened to dredging in Pocomoke Sound by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC} were studied by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS} to determine the effects of dredging upon the oyster populations.
Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1979 Annual Summary, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1979 Annual Summary, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) conducts weekly surveys from June through·early October to obtain oyster spatfall information. Spat counts are made from oyster shells strung on wire and suspended from stakes on public and private beds. The number of spat on shells are counted each week of the spawning season to determine the potential of a particular area for receiving a strike and to predict the most likely period the strikes will occur. Shells planted just before the period of maximum set have the best chance of getting a good strike.

Reports
Eggs and larvae of decapod crustaceans and embryos of Mulinia laterulis were exposed to chlorinated seawater for varying periods in continuous flow systems. Mortality, developmental rate, and general behavior were recorded.
Community Structure Of Fishes On The Continental Slope And Rise Off The Middle Atlantic Coast Of The United States, John A. Musick
Community Structure Of Fishes On The Continental Slope And Rise Off The Middle Atlantic Coast Of The United States, John A. Musick
Reports
Otter trawl cruises were conducted off the middle Atlantic coast of the U. S. from 1971 to 1975. More than 50,000 specimens of demersal fishes were captured during this program at depths of 75 m to 3000 m. Species assemblages were distributed along a coenocline with bathymetric areas of rapid faunal change (anantoclines) and of more gradual faunal change (aganoclines). Between 75 and 3000 m anantoclines were found at 150 to 200 m, 400 to 600 m, 900 to 1000 m, 1350 to 1500 m, and 1900 to 2100 m. Species diversity (Hl) increased between the continental shelf and slope, …

A Study Of The Shellfish Resource In Brick Kiln Creek, Below Route 172, Before Construction, Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
Sampling of the shellfish resource in the lower part of Brick Kiln (or Wythe) Creek was conducted by personnel of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science during August, October and November of 1978. Live oysters.were found in several places from the bridge downstream t9 the mouth. Observations indicate that the oyster beds here have average growth and normal rates of survival; recruitment is occurring. No other species of commercially valuable shellfish was found.

Nansemond River, Study Of Leased Oyster Grounds In The Vicinity Of The Us 17 Bridge (Before Construction), Dexter S. Haven, Paul C. Kendall
Reports
Leased oyster ground in the vicinity of the US 17 Bridge across the Nansemond River was sampled in September, October and November of 1978 and January of 1979 by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. ·The purposes were: 1) to determine the extent of the shellfish resources on the leased areas; and 2) to estimate the value of those resoμrces occurring within the proposed right-of-way. Other than one small, isolated lump, the only place oysters were found within the area studied was on three adjacent leases of Henry Parker.

Estimated Total Finfish Biomass For The James River For 1975, Frank J. Wokcik
Reports
The following biomass estimates were computed from trawl catches made during the VIMS ichthymlogy fish surveys. These catches were adjusted by whatever information was available in the literature on mortality rates, and length-weight relationships to arrive at the .. best available estimate of standing crop, and then its weight.
