A Check List Of The Biota Of Lower Chesapeake Bay : With Inclusions From The Upper Bay And The Virginian Sea, Marvin L. Wass Oct 1972

A Check List Of The Biota Of Lower Chesapeake Bay : With Inclusions From The Upper Bay And The Virginian Sea, Marvin L. Wass

Reports

The biota of Chesapeake Bay seems generally less known than that of New England and much of our West Coast. The present work attempts to mollify this discrepancy. The compilation has been revised and expanded to include plants and vertebrates. Inclusion of creatures not strictly aquatic but which may occasionally found their areas flooded by tidal waters has necessitated subjective declsions of limitation.

Includes:

  • Lower Plants
  • Wetland and Dune Plants
  • Phylum Protozoa
  • Free-living Invertebrates (except Protozoa)
  • Fishes of Chesapeake Bay and the Adjacent Coastal Plain
  • Herptiles of the Maryland and Virginia
  • Coastal Plain Birds Dependent on Open Water or Wetlands …

A Study Of The Zooplankton Of Lower Chesapeake Bay : Nsf-Rann Annual Report, 1972, George C. Grant Jan 1972

A Study Of The Zooplankton Of Lower Chesapeake Bay : Nsf-Rann Annual Report, 1972, George C. Grant

Reports

Studies of zooplankton are necessary to any broader investigation of aquatic ecosystems. In estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay, zooplankton function as both detritus feeders. and primary consumers of phytoplankton. Some of them, including chaetognaths, medusae and large copepods, are members of a higher trophic level. The diversity of zooplankton, especially in neiitic areas, contributes to the complexities of' such studies.

The present project was initiated wholly as a result of the interest of the National Science Foundation in Chesapeake Bay and the establishment of the Chesapeake Research Consortium. The design of the research was planned to integrate with ongoing …
