Status Of The Major Oyster Diseases In Virginia 2000 A Summary Of The Annual Monitoring Program, Lisa M. Ragone Calvo, Eugene M. Burreson
Reports
As a consequence of the relatively warm temperatures, high salinities, and high oyster parasite abundances in the fall of 1999, both P. marinus and H. nelsoni were widely distributed throughout oyster populations in Virginia in 2000. Fortunately, however, we did not see severe epizootics of the diseases as observed in some areas in 1999.

Reports
Since the moratorium, there have been no monitoring programs that provided direct assessment of stock recovery until this project began in 1998. The ban on in-river fishing in Virginia remained in effect, creating a dilemma for managers who needed reliable information in order to make a rational decision on when the in-river ban could safely be lifted. To address this deficiency, we proposed a method of scientific monitoring to estimate catch rates relative to those recorded before the prohibition of in-river fishing in 1994. This monitoring program began in 1998 and consisted of sampling techniques and locations that were consistent …

Food Habits Of Large Striped Bass In The Lower Chesapeake Bay And Its Tributaries March 1997 - May 1998, Herbert M. Austin, John F. Walter
Reports
Striped bass, Marone saxatilis, are dominant seasonal predators in Chesapeake Bay and support a large recreational and commercial fishery. This document presents the results of a yearlong ( 1997-1998) food habits study of large (> 450mm or 18 inches) striped bass in lower Chesapeake Bay and adjacent ocean waters. These fish comprise the coastal migratory stock and are found in greatest abundance in Chesapeake Bay during the spring and fall. Fish were obtained from a variety of commercial, recreational and fishery-independent sources and were captured by gill, fyke and pound nets as well as recreational hook and line, otter trawl …

The Magnuson - Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 strengthened the ability of the ational Marine Fisheries Service and other Fisheries Management Councils to protect and conserve habitats of marine, estuarine, and anadromous fin.fish mollusks, and crustaceans. The 1996 amendments to the act require the identification and description of essential habitat for the managed species, minimization of adverse effects on essential fish habitat (EFH) caused by fishing, and encouragement toward the conservation and enhancement of essential fish habitats. "Essential fish habitat" is broadly defined to include "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning breeding feeding, or …
