Sizing Up An Oyster Adversary 10
Much controversy surrounds the question of introducing the Asian oyster Crassostrea ariakensis to Virginia waters. Proponents of the introduction oftentout C. ariakensis as being disease resistant and thereby more hearty than our native oyster. Research funded by Virginia Sea Grant however, shows that C. ariakensis may not be as invulnerable as once thought.
Tastes Like Chicken 14
Virginia crab potters have relied on menhaden bait for decades, if not longer. But with the commercial menhaden fishery under scrutiny, some crabbers worry their traditional bait may soon be unavailable. Lynn Haynie, daughter of a commercial crabber and commercial card holder herself, is doing more than worry what the future may hold. With funding from the Virginia Fishery Resource Grant Program, Haynie is successfully developing and testing alternative bait products.
A Marine Challenge for the Discovery Channel 18
Karl Sorensen of Blacksburg was recently selected to compete in the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge - a spirited competition with rigorous judging.
