Benthic Community Assessment of Commercial Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Gear in Delaware Inland Bays

چکیده
Oyster aquaculture is one of several methods for the restoration Delaware Inland Bays; however, little known about its potential impacts on benthic community bays. In this study, water quality parameters were measured and polychaetes collected from 24 sampling locations at Rehoboth, Indian River, Little Assawoman Bays July to October 2016 2017. We aimed assess impact Eastern oyster farming under different stocking densities (50 250 oysters/gear) distances away sites where off-bottom gears are implemented (under gears, meter, five meters away). No significant was detected polychaetes’ abundance richness in regard presence gears. The number species significantly higher Bay comparison River Rehoboth Bays. Results showed that Ulva lactuca bloom happened could negatively low observed community. Similarly, values did not change samples taken far Dominant families Capitellidae Glyceridae contributing more than 70% individuals. Our results help understand role restoring viability natural habitat

Modeling the Dispersal of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in Delaware Bay
The interactions of circulation and growth processes in determining the horizontal distribution of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in the Delaware Bay estuary were investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model that used environmental conditions from the spawning seasons (mid-June to mid-September) of 1984, 1985, 1986, 2000, and 2001. Particles, representing...
متن کاملCirculation and Behavior Controls on Dispersal of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Larvae in Delaware Bay
The relative contributions of the spring-neap tides, river discharge and vertical behavior to the dispersal of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in Delaware Bay is investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model. The coupled model simulates larval growth and behavior along particle trajectories using temperature and salinity conditions obtained from an implemen...

متن کاملOxygen Consumption in the American Oyster Crassostrea virginica
Acclimated and acute rates of oxygen consumption of the American oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) were measured under 9 salinity-temperature combinations during declining oxygen tensions. In acclimated and non-acclimated individuals the basal rate of oxygen uptake increased significantly with each 10 C" rise in temperature. Multiple regression equations relating exposure and experimental t...
