Book Description
"In the period 1880 to 1940, the blue crab fisheries of Chesapeake Bay evolved from a relatively small industry to one having a significant economic impact on watermen, processors and shippers, and the coastal communities, and the need for studied legislation and administration of the industry. The growth of the fishery resulted also in a need for well thought out science based on legislation and administration of the fishery. This text examines whether any of several variables had effects on the stocks and the successes or failures of the fisheries, with the aim of more informed planning of scientific studies, and recommendations to administrators"--Preface.

Fluctuations in the Abundance of the Blue Crab in Chesapeake Bay
Author: John Cleary PearsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Blue crab
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts supports the largest crab fishery in the United States. Chesapeake Bay on the Atlantic coast and the estuarine waters of Louisiana on the Gulf coast now furnish 75 percent of the catch. Fluctuations in the abundance of blue crabs have occurred over the past half century in Chesapeake Bay where year-round fisheries have long been established. This report examines the nature and causes of fhese fluctuations. Several natural factors which appear to regulate the annual survival rate and the abundance of the blue crab are discussed on the basis of available knowledge.

Nonnative Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay

Pages : 344
Book Description
Nonnative Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay discusses the proposed plan to offset the dramatic decline in the bay's native oysters by introducing disease-resistant reproductive Suminoe oysters from Asia. It suggests this move should be delayed until more is known about the environmental risks, even though carefully regulated cultivation of sterile Asian oysters in contained areas could help the local industry and researchers. It is also noted that even though these oysters eat the excess algae caused by pollution, it could take decades before there are enough of them to improve water quality.
