Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966 Congress passed the National Sea Grant College Program Act to promote marine research, education, and extension services in institutions along the nation's ocean and Great Lakes coasts. In Maryland a Sea Grant Program -- a partnership among federal and state governments, universities, and industries -- began in 1977, and in 1982 the University of Maryland was named the nation's seventeenth Sea Grant College. The Maryland Sea Grant College focuses its efforts on the Chesapeake Bay, with emphasis on the marine concerns of fisheries, seafood technology, and environmental quality. The first comprehensive review of the biology of the eastern oyster in more than thirty years. The twenty-one chapters synthesize every aspect of oyster biology -- for instance, general anatomy, physiology, the circulatory system, reproduction, genetics, diseases -- and issues related to management and aquaculture.

This book was released on 2004-03-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Chesapeake Oysters written by Katherine J. Livie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural and ecological history explores the rise of Chesapeake’s mighty mollusk from Colonial-era harvesting to contemporary cultivation. Oysters are an essential part of Chesapeake Bay culture and cuisine, as well as the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters. In later years, however, the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures, and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. To combat the problem, Virginia began leasing its waters to private oyster farmers. Today, these boutique oyster farms are sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. But in Maryland, passionate debate continues among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better path. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crassostrea virginica, common name eastern oyster, in the Chesapeake Bay is currently at 1% of its peak annual landings in 1884 (600,000 metric tons). This decline is in spite of being considered a resilient species. Causes of the decline include overharvesting, disease, and habitat loss. While efforts have been made to combat each cause, the key element to recovering the population is coordinated habitat restoration. This study aims to develop a GIS-based habitat model for the eastern oyster in the Chesapeake Bay. The first goal of this study was to determine the water quality parameters necessary for successful oyster population restoration and to locate where those conditions exist concurrently. To identify these areas that are most suitable for restoration efforts, a habitat analysis was performed using GIS data of water quality parameters in the bay consisting of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and bathymetry. Data obtained from monitoring stations throughout the bay were used to estimate the water quality parameters. Those parameters were interpolated using inverse distance weighting to create continuous rasters of seasonal averages for each parameter. Then rasters were combined and analyzed using geospatial processing to determine the areas that contain the most favorable conditions for oyster growth at both larval and adult life stages. Additionally, the conditions for proliferation of oyster diseases MSX and Dermo were assessed geospatially. The second goal of this study was to determine the potential changes to suitable oyster habitat area and Dermo proliferation following the climate change experts' prediction of a 2°C water temperature increase. Resulting models showed a decrease in total area of high quality habitat for larval and adult models with the 2°C increase, as compared to the current condition models. Disease proliferation of Dermo also exhibited increases in higher risk areas in the 2°C increase model when compared to the current condition model.

Download or read book Development of a Habitat Suitability Index for the Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica in Great Wicomico River Virginia written by Seth Joseph Theuerkauf and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, provides critical ecological functions to Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately, as a result of overharvesting, disease, and poor water quality, the native oyster population of the Bay currently stands at less than 1% of its historic size. Within the Great Wicomico River, a tributary of the Bay, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District has successfully restored approximately 85 acres of "no take" sanctuary oyster reef. This study developed a habitat suitability index (HSI) for the eastern oyster in the Great Wicomico River in order to identify areas of suitable oyster habitat. The model was validated using live adult oyster density data derived from the 2011 VIMS monitoring survey of the USACE restored reefs. The results from this model can be used to inform the rehabilitation of the existing sanctuary oyster reef network and the construction of additional oyster reef in the Great Wicomico River.

Download or read book Phytoplankton Pigments written by Suzanne Roy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigments act as tracers to elucidate the fate of phytoplankton in the world's oceans and are often associated with important biogeochemical cycles related to carbon dynamics in the oceans. They are increasingly used in in situ and remote-sensing applications, detecting algal biomass and major taxa through changes in water colour. This book is a follow-up to the 1997 volume Phytoplankton Pigments in Oceanography (UNESCO Press). Since then, there have been many advances concerning phytoplankton pigments. This book includes recent discoveries on several new algal classes particularly for the picoplankton, and on new pigments. It also includes many advances in methodologies, including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and developments and updates on the mathematical methods used to exploit pigment information and extract the composition of phytoplankton communities. The book is invaluable primarily as a reference for students, researchers and professionals in aquatic science, biogeochemistry and remote sensing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crassostrea virginica, the eastern oyster. These humble bivalves are the living bones of the Chesapeake and the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these impossibly abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters. But the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. While Virginia turned to bottom-leasing, passionate debate continues in Maryland among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better way forward. Today, boutique oyster farming in the Bay is sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.
