Consecutive station logs from a series of one-day research cruises on the Choptank River (Chesapeake Bay, USA) during May to September of 2010 to 2012.
Each cruise took place on the R/V Terrapin, a 26-ft Parker with a 275 mercury outboard equipped with a davit, operated by UMCES. On each cruise, several sampling stations were occupied. A CTD cast was made at each station, and the downcast was used to measure water properties. Using a hose attached to the CTD frame, bivalve larvae were collected from near bottom to the surface by moving the CTD up through the water column in 0.5 m depth intervals at regularly spaced time intervals (e.g., every 20 s or every 60 s) depending upon the depth of the station. The water was pumped into a 55-gallon drum half filled with water (to minimize damage to the samples) and through a 64 μm mesh net to collect bivalve larvae. Water samples were collected for chl-a pigment (using a syringe/filter apparatus) to calibrate the fluorometer and for total suspended solids (using a water bottle provided by Analytical Services).
BCO-DMO Processing:
- Modified parameter names;
- Replaced blanks (missing data) with 'nd' ('no data');
- Converted lat and lon from degrees and decimal minutes to decimal degrees.

Project description:
This coupled field-and-modeling research project is designed to address fundamental, cutting-edge questions that will significantly enhance our understanding of physical-biological interactions in planktonic organisms and quantify how pelagic life stages influence population dynamics. Technological advances in field methodology and numerical modeling will be integrated and applied to investigate and compare how circulation patterns, larval transport, sub-population connectivity, and population dynamics of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, respond to environmental variability and habitat alteration. This project will provide information that will significantly enhance the restoration and management of oysters.
Physical-biological interactions are an integral part of understanding fish, bivalve, and crustacean early-life history and the processes that affect inter-annual variability in their recruitment to reproducing populations. The combined modeling and field approach builds on existing state-of-the-art models, it applies a new technology that will significantly advance our ability to investigate in-situ bivalve larvae dynamics, and it will generate critical information about the early life of oysters (timing of spawning, larval behavior) that is necessary for enhancing our understanding and prediction of recruitment processes.
This research will also advance our understanding of population dynamics of organisms with a pelagic life stages by making quantitative links between larval transport and a full life-cycle model. In doing so, it will provide improved understanding of the inter-relationships between, and relative importance of, larval transport, the connectivity of different reef systems, and adult growth, mortality, and gamete production, and how these relationships are influenced by changes in physical conditions and habitat.
Although focused on the oyster, Crassostrea virginica, the ecological studies and comparisons will result in a significant enhancement in our understanding of the interactions between physical conditions and a suite of bivalve species. This program will benefit society by providing new insights and understanding that will enhance fisheries management capabilities. The numerical tools developed will have the resolution appropriate for helping to guide oyster restoration programs, locate optimal sanctuaries (i.e., marine protected areas), and inform spatial management of oyster harvest. Although the quantitative tools and information generated will directly support oyster management and restoration activities of state and federal partners in Chesapeake Bay, the findings and tools developed in this project will be applicable to many other systems where bivalves comprise an important component of commercial and recreational fisheries. A PhD graduate student will be trained in field and numerical modeling research in this coupled field-and-modeling program. In addition to gaining a solid foundation in a cutting-edge field, the student will have the opportunity to develop science communication skills and interact with management agency representatives.
