Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1985 Annual Survey, James Whitcomb

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 on oyster shells strung qn wire and suspended from stakes on public and private beds. The number of spat on shells is 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.

Present And Historical Environmental Survey Of The Poquoson River, York County, Virginia And The Warwick River; Newport News, Virginia : With Special Reference To Biotic Communities And The Effects Of Alum Discharge, Robert J. Diaz, Morris H. Roberts Jr., Gene M. Silberhorn, Gary F. Anderson

Reports

The objectives of this study were:

1. to determine the areal extent of discharged materials within each of the rivers using the aluminum:silicon ratio as an indicator;

2. to evaluate the benthic invertebrate communities within each of the rivers;

3. to determine whether there are differences in the productivity of the benthic algal and planktonic communities which can be attributed to the discharge of alum sludge in each river;

4. to evaluate the condition of the marsh communities in each river near the filtration plant;

5. to review historical biological data for the Poquoson and Warwick Rivers and to relate …

Richmond Crater James River Water Quality Management Program, Final Report 1984-85 And Summary, Toxic Organics In Sediments : A Final Report To Richmond Regional Planning District, C. L. Smtih, P. O. Defur, R. J. Huggett

Reports

The following report contains detailed results of analyses of sediment grabs and cores from the James and Appomattox rivers and some nearby locations for a spectrum of organic toxics. Some data has been previously reported in interim progress reports, but will be included for completeness. A study of variability of replicate samples taken at a single station (JR4). not included in the proposal, presents possible limitations of interpretation of temporal and station to station results. Finally, a comprehensive summary of toxic organics in the sediments of the James River and certain tributarjes over a two-year period will be presented.
