Ecological and physiological studies of the effect of sulfate pulp mill wastes on oysters in the York River, Virginia

This study of the York River and issues impacting the oyster fishery provides historical information on the river\u27s physical and chemical conditions (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, currents, etc.) effluent observations, history and data of the oyster fishery, oyster condition, biological and pathological work and experimental studies. The project studies were responsible for the establishment of a fisheries laboratory in Yorktown, Va. p. 59 - Funds for the York River investigations were made available in 1935 by a special allotment from the Public Works Administration. Continuation of the project was made possible by regular allotments by the Bureau of Fisheries and appropriations from the Commonwealth of Virginia through its Commission of Fisheries. In October 1935 a laboratory was established at Yorktown, Va., where a satisfactory supply of sea water was available for physiological studies\u27 on oysters. A boat suitable for the field observations was supplied by the Virginia Commission of Fisheries. Studies of the chemical nature of the pulp-mill effluents were carried on from July 1938 to July 1940 at laboratories made available by the College of William and Mary

Survey of Oyster Bottoms in Texas

Report issued by the Bureau of Fisheries over surveys of oyster-bearing bottoms in Texas. As stated in the introduction, "the purpose of the survey was to find out what practical measures are necessary to prevent the depletion of natural oyster reefs and to increase the production of oysters in the state" (p. 1). This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs
