The Vims Trawl Survey : Juvenile Atlantic Croaker, Brenda L. Norcross, Ginny H. Shaw

Reports

An index of juvenile croaker recruitment was developed to test proposed relationships between juveniles and environmental factors. The VIMS trawl survey data base is unique on the east coast because of its duration and continuity. No other data set exists that samples the same species in the same locality with concurrent physical data over a long period of time.

Spectral Differences And Temporal Stability Of Phycoerythrin Fluorescence In Estuarine And Coastal Waters Due To The Domination Of Labile Cryptophytes And Stabile Cyanobacteria, Rj Exton, Wm Houghton, W Esaias, Lw Haas, D Hayward

VIMS Articles

Laser fluorosensing and epifluorescence microscopy were used jointly to identify the origin of different spectral peaks of phycoerythrin in estuarine and coastal samples. The fluorescence of the samples was also examined as a function of the time elapsed after a water circulation system was turned on. Coastal samples were dominated by cyanobacteria and exhibited a constant phycoerythrin fluorescence with time. The phycoerythrin fluorescence of the Chesapeake Bay estuarine samples first increased strongly, reached a maximum, and then decreased to below the original level; these samples were dominated by cryptophytes which epifluorescence techniques revealed were being destroyed by the circulation system. …

York River Slack Water Data Report : Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, 1971 - 1980, T. J. Brooks

Reports

The slack water survey program, provides an extended series of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrient measurements along the York River. These have been used to:

1) calibrate, verify, and update mathematical models; 2) provide a baseline against which effects of unusual events have been measured; and could be used to: 3) establish annual and longer period "climatological" trends in response to changing natural phenomena and man-made modifications to the estuary; 4) provide a basis against which fluctuations in biota could be compared.

This report contains station locations, survey schedules, field procedures, sample handling procedures, and data reduction and storage …

The Density Of Oysters And Shell Upriver From The Campostella Bridge In The Elizabeth River, Dexter S. Haven, James P. Whitcomb

Reports

This study estimates the density of oysters and oyster shells on that portion of the J. H. Miles Co. lease which lies within 450 feet of the upriver edge of the Campostella Bridge.

The Campostella Bridge is located on Route 460 on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River (Figure 1). The area is restricted for shellfish culture by the Virginia State Health Department and salinities are high enough to favor the development of the oyster diseases Haplosporidium costalis (MSX) and Perkinsus marinum (Dermo). Because a combination of the effects of pollution and disease, the area has not produced commercial …

Seasonal-Variation In Survival Of Escherichia-Coli Exposed Insitu In Membrane-Diffusion Chambers Containing Filtered And Nonfiltered Estuarine Water, I. C. Anderson, Mw Rhodes, Hi Kator

VIMS Articles

Human fecal Escherichia coli isolates were exposed over a seasonal cycle to estuarine water in diffusion chambers filled with double-filtered (0.45 and 0.2 p.m) and nonfiltered water. Laboratory manipulations of E. coli cultures before estuarine exposure were reduced to minimize sublethal stress, and nonselective or resuscitative enumeration techniques were employed to maximize recovery of stressed cells. E. coli was capable of extended survival during in situ exposure to estuarine water, provided eucaryotes were excluded from diffusion chambers. Survival was directly related to temperature in absence of the eucaryote component of the natural microbiota. Although it was not possible to prevent …

How Do Sediments Enter The Bay, Move Through The System, Remove And Store Chemicals, Or Release Them?, Maynard N. Nichols

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

Escape of more than two million tons of sediment., 4,000 tons of man-made chemicals (e.g. Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) and more than 300 types of synthetic organic compounds annually into the Bay, shoals shipping channels, reduces water quality and threatens biota. Where then do these enormous loads go? Are they mainly flushed into the sea or stored on the Bay floor? And what happens to chemicals attached to the sediments as they pass through different chemical regimes of the Bay? These are important questions facing scientists who aim to understand the cycling of sedimentary materials and to predict the …

How Should Research And Monitoring Be Integrated?, David A. Flemer, Thomas A. Malone, Herbert M. Austin, Walter R. Boynton, Robert B. Biggs, L. Eugene Cronin

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

Scientific knowledge of Chesapeake Bay and tidal tributaries has accumulated over many years beginning mostly with descriptive surveys prior to the 1960's and 1970's and evolving towards a coupling of monitoring and research in recent years. This essay discusses the need to more fully couple monitoring and research efforts in the Bay system because such a union of efforts is argued to be the most effective way to assess gross trends in the "health" of the system (monitoring) and to understand the basic forces causing these trends (research). We argue that together they provide part of the framework necessary for …
