Barber, Bruce
Barber, Bruce
Abstract
Twice a year the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) conducts a survey of selected public oyster bars (shoals) in Virginia waters for the purpose of assessing the status of the resource. Surveys conducted in the spring concentrate on grounds that arecurrently productive and provide information about overwinter mortality and relative fishing pressure from the current harvestingseason' • Surveys conducted in the fall cover a larger area and provide information about spatfall or recruitment, summer (disease) mortality, and the status of each shoal as a source of seed ormarket oysters prior to the beginning of the harvesting season. This report summarizes the findings of the Spring 1992 oyster Shoal Survey, conducted between 11 and 14 May, 1992.
