A Resurvey Of The Hampton Roads Corridor Adjacent To The Proposed Site Of The I-664 Bridge-Tunnel, Dexter S. Haven, Lowell W. Fritz

Reports

On 5 September 1980 a survey was conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) on Melzer's leased bottom (48.37 acres) off Newport News Point, Virginia (Figure 1). The study was done at the request of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, Suffolk, Virginia in relation to the construction of I-664, Projects 0664-121-102, RW-201 and 0664-061-102, RW-201. The objective of this study was to determine the extent and value of the molluscan resource on Melzer's lease prior to construction activity. A second study would examine the area after the bridge-tunnel is completed.

Population Dynamics Of Atlantic Coast Striped Bass, Morone Saxatilis : Recommendations For Management Strategy And Monitoring And Research Programs, Herbert M. Austin

Reports

The striped bass, Morone saxatilis, was designated in 1977 as a priority species for the development of a management plan by the Northeast Marine Fisheries Board of the State-Federal Fisheries Management Program. A meeting was held in September 1977 in Baltimore to scope out the general plan of work. Subsequently the Board appointed a striped bass sub-board composed of state representatives from Maine through North Carolina to develop a management plan. The sub-board designated a Scientific and Statistics (S&S) Committee composed of scientists from each of the member states.

The Commercial Fishery Of Virginia 1955-77 With Emphasis On The James, York And Rappahannock Rivers, W. J. Hoagman, D. R. Rathbone

Reports

The commercial fishery of Virginia is one of the most diverse in the United States. Three principal zones exist: the Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, and the major rivers. Finfish, shellfish, and crabs are harvested in each zone. Within the finfishes, several distinct groups are taken.: industrial fish, food fish, and fish for bait. For each group there are migratory, anadromous, and resident species. Within these there are freshwater, brackish, and marine species. The shellfish and crab group make up another category of high value and diverse life forms. The purpose of this report is to summarize a part of the …

Biology And Management Of Mid-Atlantic Anadromous Fishes Under Extended Jurisdiction- Completion Report Anadromous Fish Project 1977-1979, North Carolina Department Of Natural Resources And Community Development Division Of Marine Fisheries, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

This is a joint presentation by the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) (Part I) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), Department of Ichthyology (Part II).

It is for the period October 1, 1976 to September 30, 1979, and is the completion report for t:he P. L. 89-304 project "Biology and Management of Mid-Atlantic Anadromous Fishes Under Extended Jurisdiction."

Species of concern are: alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), hickory shad (Alosa mediocris), American shad (Alosa sapidissima), striped bass (Morone saxatilis), Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrhynchus) and the shortnose sturgeon …

Biology And Management Of The American Lobster : June 1974 - December 1978, Robert E. Harris, W. A. Van Engel

Reports

From June 1974 through October 1976, fourteen cruises were made on connnercial lobster trapping vessels off the mid-Atlantic coast. Catch per effort data were collected from 2308 traps, carapace size frequency distributions were formed and analyzed from measurements of over 3300 lobsters and information on quality was obtained from 5487 lobsters. Total catch per trap-haul (CTH) ranged from 0.64 lobsters in January 1976 to 4.5 lobsters in July 1976. (...more...)

James River Finfish Biomass Study, Frank Wojick

Reports

Kepone studies at VIMS and elsewhere are addressing the distribution of Kepone in the James River and its concentration in the various trophic levels. This report provides estimates of biomass for finfish in the lower James River, from the mouth to mile 85 (close to Richmond). Companion reports will provide data for shellfish and crustacean biomass in the same area.

Index Of Juvenile Striped Bass, White Perch, And Alosine Fishes In The Rappahannock River Following The March 1980 Oil Spill, William H. Kriete Jr.

Reports

A ruptured pipeline caused a large spill of petroleum products above Fredericksburg, VA on March 6, 1980. Much of the oil was recovered; however, a portion of the contaminant eventually reached the Rappahannock River. The significance of the spill was magnified because it occurred during spawning of anadromous and other commerically important fishes.

A study following the spill was conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) in the summer of 1980 in the upper Rappahannock River. The objectives as stated in the proposal were to (1) determine an index of abundance for juvenile striped bass (Morone saxatilis), alewife …

Estimate Of The Total Weight Of Kepone In The Major Components Of The Molluscan Fauna Of The James River, Virginia, Dexter S. Haven, Reinaldo Morales-Alamo

Reports

Contamination of the James River in Virgin ia with the pesticide Kepone has resulted in its accumulation in the tissues of the fauna inhabiting the river. Most of the Kepone available to the biota in the river is associated with sediment s (Schneider and Dawson, 1978) and Haven and Morales-Alamo (1979) have shown that oysters and other bivalve molluscs accumulate Kepone in their tissues when exposed to the pesticide associated with sediments in suspension. It is of interest to compare the quantities of Kepone bound in James River sediments with the quantities bound in the molluscan fauna of the river.

Fishing Gear Statistics Of Virginia 1929-1977, W. J. Hoagman, J. C. Siefert

Reports

The commercial fishery of Virginia uses over 30 gear types to capture the species in this report. We have selected 19 gears for illustration and description, and 10 species for detailed analysis. The species selected for analysis were chosen from the list of 18 presented in Hoagman and Rathbone (1980) which provided landings and value information Statewide and for the James, York, and Rappahannock Rivers 1955- 77. The gear statistics provided here cover 1929-77, but the rivers are not treated separately \ The river data has been incorporated into the statistics reported a Virginia Totals and Averages.

The bibliography of the Virginian Sea is a compendium of literature and environmental data concerning the Middle Atlantic Bight region of the Western North Atlantic - or the United States east coast. The geographical coverage of this bibliography ineludes that region extending from 41° N latitude to 36° N latitude and out 200 miles from the coastal headlands. This volume represents the first step of an effort undertaken by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science to assess the present status of knowledge concerning the physical and chemical environment, biology, and fisheries of the Virginian Sea. We do not put forth …
