Book excerpt: Quarrystone jetties constructed at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, were studied over a 4-year period to evaluate community development patterns of biota colonizing the rocks. Sessile macroinvertebrates and algae were quantitatively assessed using line-transect and photographed-quadrat censusing techniques. Motile epifauna were also quantitatively sampled using a suction device, and fishes were qualitatively assessed using gill nets, hook and line, traps and seine net, and through visual observations while scuba diving. The results documented that both jetties were rapidly colonized by sessile and motile biota. Within 1 year after construction, faunal and floral coverage of the rocks was equivalent to subsequent sampling periods, as were estimates of species diversity and abundance. Community composition, on the other hand, changed both seasonally and yearly. Community structure appeared to change less over time in intertidal areas than in subtidal areas, where marked changes in dominant sessile taxa were observed between sampling periods. No stable or 'climax' jetty community was apparent subtidally after 3 to 4 years, and other studies suggest that such a community is not likely to occur. Fish found around the jetties were abundant and included several recreationally important species.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach and nearshore areas were sampled at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, to evaluate the effects of jetty construction on the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in those habitats. Quantitative samples were collected seasonally during jetty construction (1977-78) and again 5 years later along transects located adjacent to and distant from the jetties. Polychaetes, amphipods, and pelecypods were the dominant organisms in both the intertidal and subtidal zones during jetty construction. Although differences were noted in the community structure between these zones, several of the dominant species were abundant in both habitats. Five years later, some of these species were not commonly observed, and oligochaetes and nematodes were abundant in the area. Many of these differences were attributed to normal seasonal and yearly variations. Changes resulting from jetty construction included increased species diversity in a wave-sheltered area, as well as changes in abundance and species composition near the jetties. Many of the observed changes were short term or limited to the area between the jetties where sediment characteristics were altered.

Van Dolah and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quarrystone jetties at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, were studied over a 1-year period to: (a) identify changes in the distribution, relative abundance, and composition of fish and crab assemblages, (b) characterize the food habits of most fish species collected, and (c) identify seasonal patterns in recreational fishing activities around the jetties. Fishes were assessed using gill nets, traps, and rotenone collections and by diver surveys; crabs were sampled using traps. Fish food habits were determined through stomach content analyses, and interview-count surveys were used to identify recreational fishing activities. The jetties generally attracted fish species that are normally associated with reef structures, species that are commonly found around estuarine inlets, and species that seasonally migrate along the coast. The jetties also appear to serve as nursery habitat for a variety of fish species. Stomach content analyses of 55 species identified three major trophic groups: fish that are mostly piscivorous, fish that feed primarily on sand bottom epifauna, and fish that feed primarily on jetty biota or zooplankton. Several of the recreationally important species feed directly on the jetty fauna, or on smaller fishes which consume jetty biota. Considerable recreational fishing was observed around both the north and south jetties, with most fishing activity observed on weekend days. Interviewed anglers primarily sought red drum, flounder, spot, bluefish, king mackerel, and sheepshead; however, black sea bass and smooth dogfish were the species most frequently caught. The numbers of fishes and fish species caught by fisherman were greatest during the summer, and more fish captured around the jetty structures than in nonjetty areas.
