A study of channel utilization and behavior of subadult loggerhead turtles was conducted in the St. Mary's River entrance channel area, Georgia. A total of 38 loggerheads were captured by trawling and instrumented with radio and depth sensitive sonic tags from April to November 1993. Turtles were monitored for 6 to 36 hours continuously for approximately 30 days in the spring (13), summer (13), and fall (14). On a daily basis turtles generally confined their diving activity to one location for one to twelve hours in 10 to 20 m water depths then moved 1 to 5 kilometers to a …

Spanish mackerel were purchased from commercial fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay in the period 1993-1994 and processed for biological data to describe reproductive biology. Spanish mackerel are multiple spawners with asynchronous oocyte development and indeterminate fecundity. They spawn in the Chesapeake Bay area from June through August, June being the peak spawning month. Individuals, however, vary greatly in when they begin and end spawning. The presence of Gravid and Running Ripe females indicates spawning inside the Chesapeake Bay, and the capture of small juveniles suggests the region may be used as a nursery grounds. Sex ratios vary greatly, females generally …
