Item Methods of Handling and Shedding Blue Crabs, Callinectes sapidus(1974-09-01) Haefner, Paul A.; Garten, David; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceItem Testing Raised Foot Lines in Virginia's Striped Bass Fishery: A Gear Based Method of Reducing Sturgeon Interactions in Anchored Gillnets(2016-11-01) Murray, Thomas J; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceWorking with commercial fishermen and scientists, the project evaluated the efficacy of altering net designs to achieve reductions in incidental contacts with protected species while maintaining harvest efficiency. In addition project participants assisted in the transfer of the new gear technology to industry as a gear-based method to reduce sturgeon interactions in gillnets targeting striped bass. The intent was to raise the effective fishing depth (webbing) of anchored gillnets interactions with protected Atlantic sturgeon while not impacting direct harvest of striped bass, the target species. The gear was shown to not impact Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) of the directed species.Item Status of the Major Oyster Diseases in Virginia(1986-10-01) Burreson, Eugene M.; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceItem Status of the Major Oyster Diseases in Virginia(1987-07-01) Burreson, Eugene M.; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceItem Status of the Major Oyster Diseases in Virginia 1988(1988-08-01) Burreson, Eugene M.; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceItem Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program Annual Report 1996(1997) Bain, CM; Lucy, John A; Virginia Marine Resources Commission; Virginia Institute of Marine ScienceThe Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program (VGFfP), a cooperative project of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), enjoyed its second full year of operation in 1996.

These records are primarily generated through contributed efforts of a dedicated corps of trained marine anglers targeting only a select number of target species. The recaptured fish records are the result of observant individuals noticing the tags in live or freshly-boxed/shipped fish. Recapture reports originate from a mix of sources, including marine anglers, commercial fishers, workers in fish packinghouses, wholesale and retail sellers of fish, and NOAA Fisheries observers on coastal trawl boats.Item Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program Annual Report 2008(2009-01-01) Lucy, John A.; Gillingham, Lewis; Virginia Institute of Marine Science; Virginia Marine Resources CommissionThrough 2008, the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program has maintained a database comprised of 14 years of data on tagged and recaptured fish.

Today, watermen continue to harvest both hard clams and oysters from the state’s public resources, albeit at diminished rates. At the same time, Virginia’s watermen-farmers are providing growing quantities of additional quality shellfish to consumers. Following the lead of the hard clam industry, there has been a significant transition to intensive aquaculture of native oysters in recent years. The once extensive oyster planting has disappeared primarily as a result of endemic oyster diseases and increasing wildlife predation of seed oysters. In its place is an emerging aquaculture sector betting on improved culture techniques and disease resistant oyster seed. While these trends are widely acknowledged, there has been no consistent reporting of production and economic trends in Virginia’s shellfish aquaculture industry. Periodic assessments are necessary to inform growers and related interests about the actual status and trends in the industry. The intent of this survey is to continue annual assessments with which to gauge growth and inputs in Virginia’s shellfish aquaculture industry. This report is based upon an industry survey completed during the first quarter of 2006.
