A Survey Of The Temporary Easement For Construction Of The Proposed Bridge Over The Machipongo River, Roger Mann, James P. Whitcomb

Reports

On April 23 and 24, 1986 a survey was conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) on the temporary easement (3.248 acres) for the construction of the proposed bridge over the Machipongo River in Accomack County, Virginia (Figure 1). The study was done at the request of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, Suffolk, Virginia for Project 0182-001-102, RW-201.

The objective of this study was to determine the extent and value of the molluscan resource in· the temporary easement.

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.

The Assessment Of Commercial Fishing Effort In Virginia Annual Report 1986, Joice S. Davis, James C. Owens, William H. Kriete Jr., Joseph G. Loesch

Reports

This report summarizes the assessment of commercial fishing effort in Chesapeake Bay and its Virginia tributaries during the period October 1, 1985 through December 31, 1986. Objectives of this study were: 1. to assess pound net fishing effort in Chesapeake Bay, and in the James, York and Rappahannock rivers; and 2. to assess anchor, drift, and stake gill net fishing effort in the James, York and Rappahannock rivers.

Additionally, two months of data for pound nets and anchor, drift, and stake gill nets have been included in order that the cessation of the study period would occur at a natural …

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 …

Enhancing The Value Of Commercial Fish Species Through Quality Control Procedures : An Integrated Approach For Mid-Atlantic Fisheries., Virginia Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

Poor quality has often been cited as a major obstacle to increased foreign and domestic sales of U.S. harvested fish. In a report on fisheries trade prepared for the 1984 New England Governors' Conference, the absence of quality standards, particularly for finfish, was cited as a major reason for diminished economic returns to fishermen (Background Paper on Fisheries Trade 1984). A subsequent study by the New England Fisheries Development Foundation (NEFDF) revealed a definite need for vessel operators and buyers to initiate quality control in order to effectively compete for world markets (Connors and Ostergard 1986). The need for procedural …
