Screening of Candidate Species for Development of Standard Operating Procedures for Aquatic Toxicity
Published on March 1, 1994 in ReportThe goal of this study was to evaluate 25 resident Chesapeake Bay species (vertebrates, invertebrates and plants) as potential candidates for future Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) development for estuarine water column toxicity tests. Based on a ranking system, the two species recommended for future SOPO development are the copepod, Eurytemora affinis,, and the sago pondweed, Potamogeton pectinatus.

Exploring Alternatives for Fisheries Management in Chesapeake Bay
Published on February 1, 2002 in ReportA STAC Workshop structured to learn about alternative approaches to fisheries ,amage,emt tjat are being applied throughout the United States to determine what applicability if any, they might have to Chesapeake Bay fisheries management. In recent years in both domestic and international fisheries, innovative management practices have been employed that seek to improve the efficiency of the fishery while protecting the resource stock and resulting in higher net benefits from fishing to society. This workshop, developed by the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) in partnership with MD and VA Sea Grant, was structured to learn about alternative approaches to fisheries management that are being applied throughout the United States to determine what applicability, if any, they might have to Chesapeake Bay fisheries management. The purpose was not to select or endorse any particular approach for Chesapeake Bay fisheries, but rather to learn how such approaches were introduced and implemented in their respective fisheries. Based on the workshop recommendations, it is expected that a process will be implemented to explore possible adoption of alternative management techniques in Chesapeake Bay Fishery Management Plans.
