Chesapeake Bay Research Initiatives At The Virginia Institute Of Marine Science Of The College Of William And Mary : Accomplishments For The 1984-1986 Biennium And Projected Activities For The 1986-1988 Biennium, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science Jan 1986

Chesapeake Bay Research Initiatives At The Virginia Institute Of Marine Science Of The College Of William And Mary : Accomplishments For The 1984-1986 Biennium And Projected Activities For The 1986-1988 Biennium, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

This is the biennium report for the 1984-1986 Commonwealth's Chesapeake Bay Initiatives for Research. Funding thereby directed to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science allowed augmentation of the Institute's directed research program which is devoted to the conservation and preservation of the living marine resources of the Commonwealth. Specifically, the funds were directed towards three program areas: 1) Biological and River Circulation Studies for Revitalization of the James River Seed Oyster Beds; 2) Environmental Factors Controlling Critical Finfish Populations; and 3) Chemical Poisons in Virginia's Tidal Waters.


Laboratory And Field Investigations Of Potential Predation On Early Life Stages Of Striped Bass In The Pamunkey River, Virginia /, John E. Olney, Gary H. Hill Jan 1986

Laboratory And Field Investigations Of Potential Predation On Early Life Stages Of Striped Bass In The Pamunkey River, Virginia /, John E. Olney, Gary H. Hill

Reports

Predation is recognized as an important factor regulating survival of larval fishes and it is likely that both fish and invertebrate species are predators of striped bass eggs and larvae, yet few studies have documented such interactions in tidal freshwater systems. As a result, this study incorporated the following objectives: (1) determine kinds and relative abundances of potential fish and invertebrate predators of striped bass larvae through field surveys: (2) document acceptability of yolksac larvae as a prey item through laboratory experimentation with fish and invertebrate species: (3) establish preliminary estimates of consumption of yolksac larvae under laboratory conditions of …

The York River: A Brief Review Of Its Physical, Chemical And Biological Characteristics, Michael E. Bender Jan 1986

The York River: A Brief Review Of Its Physical, Chemical And Biological Characteristics, Michael E. Bender

Reports

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the York River, Virginia. The river is formed by the confluence of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers at West Point, Virginia. It is tidal over its entire length and flows to the western shore of Chesapeake Bay.
