Site selection survey for seafarming in the Riau Archipelago.

Jurnal Penelitian Laut/J. Mar. Fish. Res., no. 35, 1–22
A survey of the site selection for seafarming in the Riau Archipelago was conducted during April to November 1983. Selection of sites have been made for the purpose of farming groupers, snappers, rabitfish, oysters, green mussels and seaweeds. Senayang district is considered as having a good potential for mariculture development in the Riau Archipelago.

Mapping of suitable areas for blue mussel culture in Rogaland and
Hordaland.

Norsk Fiskeoppdrett., vol. 10, no. 10, 54–55
Investigations were carried out to map suitable areas for blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) culture in Rogaland and Hordaland Counties, Norway from May 1983 to April 1985. Biological data were collected from 26 trial culturing sites from Rogaland and 55 from Hordaland. Regions were mapped according to: (1) fry deposition; (2) growth; (3) food content; (4)‘byssus’ development; (5) amount and type of fouling; and (6) hydrography. The investigation showed that the blue mussel culture in these two counties should be limited to the middle and inner areas. Large local variations were observed. Trial culturing should be carried out for about 2 years or more, before starting large scale operations.

Short-term training programme in brackishwater prawn and fish
culture, September 8–30, 1980, Beach Road, Kakinada - 7
Criteria considered important in the selection of a site for prawn farm construction are listed as: 1) topography and tidal regime of the area; 2) soil characteristics; 3) water characteristics; 4) availability of the natural seed resources in the areas; 5) the flora and fauna of the region; 6) freedom from pollution; 7) accessibility and nearness to markets; 8) legal regulations; 9) socio-economic conditions of the locality. The construction and maintenance of a farm are discussed and the types of prawn farms in India outlined.

The origin and the extent of oyster reefs in the James River,
Virginia.

J. Shellfish Res., vol. 3, no. 2, 141–151
The public oyster grounds (Baylor Survey Grounds) in the James River, VA, were studied with respect to bottom type and oyster density from 1978 to 1981. Approximately 10,118 ha (25,000 acres) were investigated using an electronic positioning system to establish station locations. Bottom types were determine using probing pipes, patent tongs, and ann acoustical device. About 17.1% of the bottom was classified as consolidated oyster reef, and 47.5% was moderately productive mud-shell or sand-shell bottoms. The remaining 35.4% was rated as unsuitable for oyster culture. The surface configuration of oyster reef areas in the James River is similar to those in coastal lagoons along the Gulf of Mexico. They are thought to have developed in the James River as they did in the Gulf of Mexico area as sea level rose during the Holocene Period.

Oil vs oysters. Lessons for environmental regulation of
industrial siting for the Hampton Roads refinery controversy.
1985 84 pp
Energy Rev., vol. 12, no. 3, 84 pp
A 10-year attempt by the Hampton Roads Energy Co. to win regulatory approval on its proposed oil refinery in Portsmouth, VA, illustrates difficulties faced by those wishing to site new industrial facilities in environmentally-sensitive areas. Problems experienced by the company include: multiple permit requirements, regulatory delays, fragmented jurisdiction, inter-agency conflicts, and the complexities of environmental risk assessment. Federal and state agencies have tried to balance the potential benefits of the refinery against the harm it could cause Virginia's valuable oyster population. Reform adopted incrementally, such as the Virginia Multiple Permit Coordination Process, the new National Environmental Policy Act scoping mechanism, and a simplification of the section 404 permit process, are preferable by the author (Environmental Affairs Law Review, Ii (4), Oct. 1984, 705–754).

An investigation on exploitation of scallop spatfall waters in
Zhimao Wan.

J. Fish. China, vol. 7, no. 3, 267–278
A relatively small quantity of scallop spats (Chlamys farreri) were obtained from the coastal water of Zhimao Wan of Suizhong Xian in 1978. Since 1979 a series of surveys were carried out to investigate the distribution of larvae and the potentiality of this species, in order to estimate the value of exploitation of the bay. The results indicate that this region is situated at the out-shelf of the coast, the variation of current condition makes the settlement of the spat to be unstable and also the shape of the bay is shallow and open. It is not valuable to exploit for commercial mariculture ground.

The Atlantic coastal salt marshes between the Vilaine and Gironde
rivers and the new mariculture. Sites conservation and
experimental research at the Noirmoutier aquac. exp, station.

Bull. Mens. Off. Natl. Chasse, 1980, 89–98
The salt marshes of the middle western Atlantic coast comprise about 28000 ha created for the extraction of salt, they have been transformed in fish breeding or oyster culture grounds. But most of them are abandoned at the present time and have become more and more coveted by speculators and property developers. Research has created hopes for an early development of new maricultural methods. A list of marshes that may be used has been drawn up. Management planning documents have taken into account this potential activity. Today, various experiments are being conducted on trout, salmon, turbot, sole, and bass; and on Manila clams, flat oyster, and Guiana oysters. However, culture systems for neither one of these species have been completely mastered yet an numerous technological problems still subsist.

Dye-Buoy remote sensing of coastal circulation for outfall siting.

The help of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) was solicited to determine, with their combined aerial photography/dye-release technique, the best site among several proposed for the new outfall of the Newport News sewage treatment plant upgrading. The new sewage treatment plant would be adjacent to the route of the proposed I-664 bridge/tunnel. There was concern that the bridge/tunnel would alter the flow of water in the channel, and dispersion patterns determined beforehand would no longer apply. The fear was that any change in dispersion rates could allow sewage waste to reach the Nansemond channel and the oyster beds that lie nearby. Results showed that effluent from the site would reach the oyster beds, and that shifting the site a relatively short distance northward would keep effluent away from the oyster beds. The technique is fully integrated as one of the standard tools used for answering siting questions.
