Abstract
A study of portions of two leased oyster planting grounds adjacent to the construction site of the additional lanes of the James River Bridge was conducted in October 1980. Sampling with patent tongs indicated that on one lease oysters existed in medium commercial density while the other lease had no oysters. The fathometer showed a fairly even bottom with no evidence of large holes. Audio gear was used to indicate the nature and the contents of the bottom between patent tong sampling sites.
