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 کاملOyster-Sea Nettle Interdependence and Altered Control Within the Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem
Research on the effects of declining abundances of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries has primarily focused on the role of oysters in filtration and nutrient dynamics, and as habitat for fish or fish prey. Oysters also play a key role in providing substrate for the overwintering polyp stage of the scyphomedusa sea nettle, Chrysaora quinquecirrha, wh...
متن کاملDenitrification and nutrient assimilation on a restored oyster reef
Global loss of 85% of oyster reef ecosystems over the past 130 yr (Beck et al. 2011) has led to both growing recognition of the services once provided by healthy oyster reef ecosystems (Grabowski et al. 2012) and increasing interest in restoring these ecosystems. In Chesapeake Bay, USA, populations of the native oyster Crassostrea virginica have been reduced to <1% of historic levels through a ...
متن کاملShell Length-at-age Relationships in James River, Virginia, Oysters (crassostrea Virginica) Collected Four Centuries Apart
Eastern oysters were ecologically and structurally dominant features of the Chesapeake Bay prior to European colonization. Four centuries of harvest pressure, habitat degradation, and, more recently, disease activity have affected extant oyster population demographics. We compared population demographics and age-at-shell length relationships for modern mesohaline James River oyster populations ...
