Maps Depicting Extent Of Suitable Habitats For Four Forage Fish Species In Chesapeake Bay, 2000-2016, Mary C. Fabrizio, Troy D. Tuckey, Aaron J. Bever, Michael L. Macwilliams Jan 2021

Maps Depicting Extent Of Suitable Habitats For Four Forage Fish Species In Chesapeake Bay, 2000-2016, Mary C. Fabrizio, Troy D. Tuckey, Aaron J. Bever, Michael L. Macwilliams

Data

Habitat suitability maps are provided as tif files embedded in a Word document for each of the four forage fishes studied: juvenile spotted hake, juvenile spot, juvenile weakfish, and bay anchovy. Suitability maps are provided for each season and year, 2000 – 2016 for tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Habitat suitability indices range between 0 (red) indicating poor habitat to 1 (blue) indicating most suitable habitat. These indices were estimated using procedures described in Fabrizio et al. (2021; see associated publication below). Estimates of the annual extent of suitable habitats baywide, and for Maryland waters only and Virginia waters …

A Data Repository For Minimal Effects Of Oyster Aquaculture On Water Quality: Examples From Southern Chesapeake Bay, Jessica Turner, Grace M. Massey, M. Lisa Kellogg, Carl Friedrichs

Data

The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of oyster aquaculture on water quality, sediment quality, and hydrodynamics at select sites in southern Chesapeake Bay. To this end, information was gathered over the course of approximately one year from February 2017 to October 2017 at four operating commercial farms. Farms were sampled during spring, summer, and fall seasons during times of oyster filtration activity when temperatures were greater than 10oC. Aquaculture sites differed in environmental setting, in terms of their exposure to waves and resulting sediment characteristics. Sites had mesohaline salinities (ranging from 15-22 psu) and …
