- PREFACE The Salem Generating Station 316(b) Demonstration summarizes the results of 15 years of environmental studies conducted by Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and its consultants on the Delaware River Estuary. Early studies responded to Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements.
Later studies were conducted according to a plan approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -Region II. The "Salem Generating Station 316(b) Ecological Impact Assessment Plan-of-Study" listed nine fish species and two macroinvertebrate species as target species. It directed that in-depth studies be conducted for these species and that species-specific reports be prepared. These reports are Appendices II.through XII of the Salem Generating Station 316(b) Demonstration. Essentially, these appendices are species monographs that follow a standardized Table of Contents to facilitate referencing among species in the Demonstration. Each report addresses the species first as an organism and then as a Delaware Estuary population or stock with emphasis on post-1977 data collected according to the Plan-of-Study. Study data are corroborated by, and supplemented with, literature to develop important themes. Finally, aspects of the species involvement with Salem through entrainment and/or impingement are described

- INTRODUCTION Cynoscion regalis, commonly known as weakfish, is a schooling species which inhabits coastal and, seasonally, estuarine waters of the Atlantic coast from the east coast of Florida to Massachusetts Bay. Adults are warm-season migrants that spawn in coastal waters and bays. In the Delaware Bay spawning apparently occurs from late May through August and may be typified by two peaks in intensity, in June and again in July. Early lifestages are believed carried upstream by subsurface flow toward the head of the bay, and further distribution occurs through the early juvenile stage. Young weakfish, which are euryhaline and have been reported in fresh water, grow rapidly through summer on a diet of planktivorous invertebrates and fishes. By late summer adults and young have moved to downbay waters and typically have begun southerly coastal movements by October-December.
Weakfish is recreationally and commercially exploited in the Delaware Bay. In 1979, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -Region II (EPA) selected as a target species for the Salem 316(b) Demonstration on the premise that early life stages could experience involvement with the station's cooling-water intake system while in the vicinity. This report presents technical information on the species and its use of the Delaware Bay and Estuary. rt also relates information on aspects of involvement with Salem that can be quantified in the Demonstration, to the degree possible, and evaluated

1.2 TAXONOMY
1.2.l Affinities Classification follows Greenwood et al. (1966). Taxa higher than superorder are.not included: Superorder Acanthopterygii Order Perciformes Suborder Percoidei Family Sciaenidae Genus Cynoscion Species Cynoscion regalis The weakfish is one of 33 species of the family Sciaenidae found along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts of the United States (Robins et al., 1980). The family is commonly known as the drum family because many species use special muscles to vibrate their swim bladders to produce drumming or croaking sounds (Jordan and Evermann, 1896-1900; Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953). The genus Cynoscion includes five other species in the United States: the sand seatrout, Cynoscion arenarius; spotted seatrout, c. nebulosus; silver seatrout, c. nothus; shortfin corvina, c. parvipinnis, and orangemouth corvina, c. xanthulus (Robins et al., 1980) . The white seabass (formerly
- c. nobilis) is reclassified as 1-2 Atractoscion nobilis in Robins et al. (1980). Weakfish is the only Cynoscion species that commonly occurs in Delaware Bay, although the spotted seatrout and silver seatrout occur along the Atlantic coast and the former ranges as far north as Cape Cod (Johnson, 1978). The following genus and species descriptions are condensed from Jordan and Evermann (1896-1900), Hildebrand and Schroeder (1928) Bigelow and Schroeder (1953). Genus Cynoscion Gill The genus can be differentiated-from other sciaenids by the presence of an elongate, compressed body, conical head and a large terminal mouth sharp in narrow bands. The upper jaw contains 2 tapered canines (1 of which is sometimes obsolete);
canir.es are absent from the lower jaw. Species Cynoscion regalis (Bloch and Schneider) (Fig. 1-1) The weakfish is distinguished from other Cynoscion species by the following meristic characteristics: anal fin with 11 or 12 soft rays, 11-13 gill rakers on lower limb of first arch, 10 scales in a series between the origin of the anal and the lateral line, and lateral line scales ranging from 76 to 86. Further, adult weakfish exhibit a characteristic dark olive green dorsal coloration which fades to a silvery or chalky white underside. The back and sides are burnished with purple, green, blue and gold spots which are most numerous above the lateral line. Lateral areas typically exhibit dark diagonal lines and blotches and fins are dusky to yellow. A detailed description of weakfish eggs is presented in Section 3.1.7. Mercer (1983) notes the difficulty in distinguishing weakfish eggs from those of other sciaenids, e.g., silver perch, kingfish and black drum. During the present study this was not considered a significant source of bias due to small number of adults of these species in Delaware Bay. However, differentiating weakfish and windowpane eggs was initially problematic when studies were expanded to include the lower Delaware Bay in 1979. Although there is overlap in all distinquishing characteristics, a combination of typical minimum and maximum limits of spawning season, temperature of occurrence, salinity of occurrence and egg size (Table 1-1)
- I I. I I I I r I I 1-3 can be used to identify nearly all specimens.
The few specimens that did not meet these criteria were classified as unidentified. Detailed morphological descriptions of pre-adult stages are presented in Section 3.0. Prolarvae are 1.49-1.99 mm (NL) upon hatching (Lippson and Moran, 1974: Johnson, 1978: Wang and Kernehan, 1979), absorb their yolk-sac by about 2.2 mm NL (Welsh and Breder, 1923; Johnson 1978): complete transition to postlarvae occurs between 3.0-3.5 mm (Johnson, 1978: Wang and Kernehan, 1979). Postlarvae have been reported to transform to juveniles at lengths ranging from 10.0 (Wang and Kernehan, 1979) to 12.5 mm TL (Welsh and Breder, 1923): the most frequently cited length was ca. 10.5 mm TL (Pearson, 1941; Lippson and Moran, 1974: Johnson, 1978). In the present study, were considered prolarvae from hatching through 3.0 mm TL, postlarvae from 3.1 through 10.5 mm TL, and juveniles fr0m 10.6 mm TL to maturity. See Section 3.1.2 for size at maturity.
1.2.2 Taxonomic
Status This is a well-defined morphospecies (Chao, 1978). 1.2.3 Subspecies Evidence exists that sand seatrout, which is found only in the Gulf of Mexico, is a clinal subspecies of weakfish that became separated from the main population by the emergence of the Florida peninsula (Ginsburg, 1929: Alperin, 1953: Weinstein and Yerger, 1976). Ginsburg's (1929) original description of sand seatrout noted that there is "room for difference of opinion as to *** whether they should be regarded as species or subspecies." Alperin (1953) theorized the two are conspecific based on meristics. Moshin (1973) hypothesized that weakfish and silver seatrout are on a different phyletic line than spotted and sand seatrout, but Weinstein and Yerger (1976) rejected that phylogeny and concluded that sand seatrout is a subspecies of weakfish based on similarities in meristics and biochemistry.
1.2.4 Standard
Common Name, Vernacular Names Weakfish is the common name for c. regalis listed by the American Fisheries Society (Robins et al., 1980). Other ! . 1-4 names used commonly are squeteague, trout, seatrout, gray seatrout, gray trout, weakie, squit, squittee, sheantts, chickwick, succoteague, drummers, saltwater trout, tide runner, sun trout, shad trout, yellow-finned trout, yellowmouth trout and summer trout (Jordan and Evermann, 1896-1900: Hildebrand and Schroeder, 192&: Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953: Mahood, 1974: Mercer, 1983). 1.3 MORPHOLOGY
1.3.1 External
Morphology Adults are described in Section 1.2.1: eggs, larvae and juveniles are described in Sections 3.1.7, 3.3.1 and 3.4.1, respectively. Equations for converting among standard (SL), fork (FL) and total length (TL) are presented in Table 1-2. Fork length is equivalent to total length to at least 250 mm. Populations Based on a tagging study and differences in scale growth in age 0+ specimens, Nesbit (1954) suggested that northern and southern weakfish subpopulations might exist: however, he concluded that adults from two or more nursery grounds did ultimately mix and that weakfish were apparently a common stock orginating in southern waters. Perlmutter et al. (1956) found differences in scale growth, growth rate and morphometry between fish from the North Carolina to Virginia fishery and the Cape May (New Jersey) to Montauk, Long Island (New York) fishery. Both studies reported faster growth and greater longevity in fish from northern waters. Seguin (1960), in a study of meristics and morphometrics, postulated three subpopulations -a northern group (New York), central group (Delaware and perhaps Virginia), and a southern group (North Carolina). She reported the Delaware group could be differentiated from southern and northern fish on the basis of caudal peduncle depth and gill raker number. Merriner (1973) also hypothesized several subpopulations based on differing growth rates throughout the range, particularly between fish in North Carolina and Chesapeake Bay. He maintained that direct recruitment of North Carolina fish to the northern stock is unproven and believed, as Nesbit (1954) did, that if such recruitment exists it is minimal. I .I I I I I J I I I I I l r l I I I 1-5 None of the above studies are conclusive enough to define separate stocks of weakfish. variation in some meristic characters is only marginally significant (Joseph, 1972). Also, it is likely that clinal differences in morphometry and growth rates are environmentally, not genetically, induced (Weatherley, 1972; Cushing, 1973; Seagraves, 198la; Shepherd, NMFS, pers. comm.)
- Most recently, Crawford and Grimes (1983) looked for genetic differences among hypothesized stocks from North Carolina, Chesapeake Bay and from Delaware Bay north. Results of electrophoretic analysis of young and adult fish did not support the race hypothesis, and Crawford (pers. comm.) believes the species maintains a genetically homogenous population at least during periods of abundance.
1.3.2 Cytomorphology
No chromosomal investigations on weakfish are reported in the subject review by Gold et al. (1980), and no record of such studies being conducted since 1980 has been found. 1.3.3 Protein Specificity Sullivan et al. (1975) reported amino acid composition of parvalbumins in weakfish. Weinstein and Yerger (1976) produced serum and muscle protein for the four Atlantic and Gulf Cynoscion species and concluded that spotted seatrout is the most divergent species of the group and that sand seatrout should be considered a subspecies of weakfish (Section 1.2.3). Russell and Jeffrey (1979) found three serum transferein patterns among adult weakfish from lower Rappahannock River, Virginia. Analysis indicated no significant difference among patterns, supporting the genetic hypothesis of two codominant autosomal alleles. 1.3.4 Aging weakfish have been aged by reading annuli on scales, otoliths and vertebrae and from length-frequency distributions (Merriner, 1973). In the present study, age was inferred from length-frequency distribution and correspondence to length-at-age data of Seagraves (198la). Some analyses in this report require designation of a birth 1-6 date for the species. May 1 was chosen based on commencement of spawning (see Section 3.1.6) and formation. annulus I .I I I I I 1 l J

SALEM 316(b) STUDY Figure 1-1 I I I I I I 2.1 TOTAL AREA 2-1 SECTION 2.0 DISTRIBUTION Weakfish ranges along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts Bay to southern Florida (Wilk, 1979) and occasionally strays to Nova Scotia (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953) and the Gulf of Mexico (Weinstein and Yerger, 1976) (Fig. 2-1). It is most common from North Carolina to New York (Mercer, 1983). The principal reproductive range is from Chesapeake Bay to Montauk, Long Island, NY (Colton et al., 1979); however, spawning has been reported from the Gulf of Maine (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953) to Georgia (Mahood, 1974). Local Distribution Adults begin entering the Delaware Bay (?ig. 2-2) in late March and April and congregate in the lower half of the Bay. During spawning, in late May through August, they become widely distributed throughout the Bay (Section 3.1.6). Young use the entire study area (rkm 0-117) as a nursery during the summer (Section 4.2). Weakfish (mostly O+ young) have been reported in tributaries of the River and Bay from Raccoon Creek, NJ, rkm 130 (Himchak, 1981) to the Broadkill River, DE, rkm 2 (Martin, 1974; Daiber et al., 1976) (Table 2-1). It is also likely that they inhabit other tributaries throughout the Delaware River estuary. Weakfish larvae, young and adults have been reported in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal (Table 2-1, Fig. 2-3), a water body that affords passage between the Delaware and Chesapeake Bay systems for many fishes (Ritchie and Koo, 1973). Dovel and Lippson (1973) reported an apparent movement of weakfish young into Chesapeake Bay via the Canal. 2.2 DIFFERENTIAL DISTRIBUTION 2.2.l Preadult Habitat Spawning generally takes place in estuarine and nearshore waters; off Georgia and South Carolina, it may also occur in 2-2 deeper waters of sounds (Mercer, 1983). Several estuarine studies suggest a progressive upriver displacement with age until the fall seaward movement.
Major concentrations of eggs tend to occur in the lower portions of estuaries. Olney (1983) reported eggs concentrated at mid-channel near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay during 1971 through 1975. In Delaware Bay the major concentrations have also occurred in the Bay, especially south of the Mispillion River, DE (rkm 19) (Harmic, 1958; Daiber et al., 1976; Present Study, Section 4.2.3). Larvae and juveniles tend to be distributed further upstream (Massman et al., 1958; Lippson, 1973; Loos, 1975; EA, 1976; Polgar et al., 1979, Olney, 1983); probably reflecting some utilization of the two layered transport system common to many estuaries (Lippson et al., 1979; Appendix I). In summers of the present study, young-of-year juvenile weakfish were abundant in the upper bay and lower river, although they were collected as far upriver as rkm 140, near Tinicum Island. Typically, they occur only sporadically beyond Wilmingtonj "DE (rkm 114) (Harmon and Smith, 1975; Morrisson et al., 1976; Present Study). In fall juveniles are distributed along the Atlantic coast and in the mouths of estuaries from New York to North Carolina (Nesbit, 1954; Johnson, 1978). In winter they are distributed near shore along the coast from Virginia to Florida (Wilk, 1979). Vertical Distribution Eggs are initially pelagic and highly bouyant, but in the later stages of development their specific gravity increases enough to cause them to sink (Welsh and Breder, 1923; Lippson and Moran, 1974). Results from ichthyoplankton field studies in the Delaware River and Bay seem to support the influence of a time-or age-dependant mechanism on vertical distribution. Harmic (1958), in studies including the principal spawning ground in the lower bay and up to the Smyrna River (rkm 70), collected 88.3 percent of the eggs in surface samples. Present study collections taken in the lower river and upper bay (rkm 61-97), up-estuary from the principal spawning grounds, indicated that eggs were most abundant in the mid-depth and bottom collections (Maiden et al., 1976, 1977; PSE&G, 1978; Table 2-2). Most eggs taken in this latter study were developmentally advanced, and these less bouyant eggs were most likely transported from the spawning grounds by net upriver bottom currents. Collections taken at rkm 80 during 1982 suggested that eggs were most abundant in the upper half of the water column (Table 2-3); however, this database was relatively small compared to the previously cited present-study information and is therefore not considered wholly representative. I I I I le I I I I I I I l J 2-3 Larvae gra_dually become demersal and nektonic as they develop (Pearson, 1941: Lippson and Moran, 1974). In the Delaware River and Bay they occurred at all depths but were most abundant near (Tables 2-2 and 2-3: Harmic, 1958). The vertical distribution of 0+ weakfish in Delaware Bay was examined using surface, midwater and bottom hauls of a 4.9-m otter trawl on three transects located as follows: 1) across the lower river (ca. rkm 80) between Salem and the Appoquinimink River, DE: 2) across the middle bay between Kitts Hummock, DE (ca. rkm 40) and Egg Island Point, NJ (ca. rkm 35) and 3) across the lower bay between Slaughter Beach, DE (ca. rkm 15) and Miami Beach, NJ (ca. rkm 12) (Figs. 2-4 through 2-7). Abundance was greatest near bottom on all three transects (Figs. 2-4 through 2-7). 2.2.2 Adults Habitat During April through November adults are found in nearshore coastal areas as well as in the main body of estuaries and sounds where salinity is to high (ca. 10 ppt and above) and sand bottoms are available (Johnson, 1978; U.S. EPA, 1983). Older fish are distributed toward the northern end of the species range (Wilk, 1979). In Delaware Bay adults are abundant below Artificial Island (rkm 80) and especially in the lower Bay (rkm 0-40) (Thomas, 1971). Daiber and Smith (1971) reported adults inhabit all parts of the Bay but they observed greatest density in downbay sectors off the Mispillion River (rkm 19). In Chesapeake Bay, adult fish were most abun.dant in the mid-to lower main bay, and were uncommon in tributaries (Massman et al., 1958; Lippson, 1973: Loos, 1975). The winter distribution is offshore of North Carolina to New Jersey at depths of 10 to 55 fathoms (20-100 m) (Pearson, 1932: Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953: Wilk, 1979). Vertical Distribution Adults distribute throughout the water column. Individuals are taken dear surface in gill nets (Present Study; Seagraves, 198lb), near bottom in otter trawls (Present Study; Shepherd, 1982), and at midwater by pelagic trawls (Shepherd, 1982). 2-4 2.3 DETERMINANTS OF DISTRIBUTIONAL CHANGES Changes in adult weakfish distribution are difficult to assess due to the migratory nature of the species (Seagraves, 198la). Periods of unusual abundance in the northern extreme of the species range have been reported (Bigelow and Schoeder, 1953). Poole (NYDEC, pers. comm.) has suggested that such observed increases may simply reflect a coastwide increase in species abundance. Seagraves (198la) concurred, stating that, in Delaware Bay, trends in weakfish abundance and average size have paralleled these elsewhere on the*Atlantic coast. Localized absence of young fish may reflect a regional episode of poor for example, Joseph (1972) believed that heavy usage.of DDT may have resulted in the lack of weakfish larvae in Chesapeake Bay from 1959 through 1963. 2.4 HYBRIDIZATION Moenkhaus (1911) attempted unsuccessfully to hybridize a mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) female with a weakfish male. Development ceased 42.5 hrs after fertilization .

- 3.1 REPRODUCTION
3.1.1 Sexuality
-.-.* 3-1 SECTION 3.0 BIONOMICS AND LIFE HISTORY Weakfish are dioecious. The sexes appear externally. The males produce "drumming" sounds with special muscles which are vestigial in females (Seymour, 1975). No hermaphroditic weakfish have been reported.
3.1.2 Maturity
Most males and females are sexually by the end of their second summer (age l+) and practically all are mature by the end of their third (age 2+) (Merriner, 1976: Wilk, 1979; Shepherd, 1982). Earlier researchers reported maturity at an older age; Bigelow and Schroeder (1953), two to three years, and Welsh and Breder (1923), at 2 3 years for males and 3 to 4 years for females. Merriner (1976) found size, rather than age, the dominant factor in attainmen.t of sexual maturity in North Carolina fioh; he also reported that males matured at a slightly smaller size than females (Table 3-1). Shepherd (1982) reported that in New York Bight weakfish matured within the same size range reported by Merriner (1973; 1976) but found no difference between sexes (Table 3-1). The smaliest mature male and female reported by Shepherd (1982) were 21 and 20 cm TL, respectively; the largest immature male and female were 33 and 40 cm TL, respectively (Table 3-1). Daiber and Smith (1971) reported that in Delaware Bay, females less than 24 cm TL in June and males less than 21 cm TL would not spawn in that year. 3.1.3 Mating Weakfish are polygamous broadcast spawners (Welsh and Breder, 1923). The male produces a croaking or drumming *sound which is believed associated with mating behavior (Hildebrand and Schroeder, 1928: Thomas, 1971: Horseman, 1979). 3.1.4 Fertilization Fertilization is external. -.*: 'c ' .. * *:**** * ... * *: 3-2
- 3.1.5 Gonads Stages of gonad development were described by Merriner (1973, 1976) and are summarized in Table 3-2. Just prior to spawning he found mature ovaries and testes of North Carolina fish to be approximately 8-9 percent and 3-4 percent, respectively, of the body weight. Several investigators have reported on the relationship between number of ova produced and age, length or weight. Merriner (1973; 1976) found significant differences (p < 0.01) in the number of ova produced by North Carolina weakfish of different ages. Age group 0 females produced a mean of 44,880 ova while age group IV females produced a mean of 1,725,920 ova (Table 3-3). He also found a significant relationship with SL, TL and weight (Table 3-4). Present study invesiigators also f6und significant relationships with both TL (Fig. 3-1) and weight (see Appendix I for procedures).
Shepherd (1982) noted that a 500 mm TL weakfish from his Region 1, i.e., Cape Cod, MA to Ocean City, MD, would produce 299,456 ova while a same size fish, based on equation from Meiriner (1973; 1976), w6uld produce 2,051,080 ova. Acknowledging slight variations in methodology and assuming that the differences were real, he speculated that this could be the result of natural annual variation, density dependent mechanisms, environmental influence, or a selected reproductive strategy. In support of the latter argument, he caltulated that lifetime fecundities of fish from the two regions were nearly identical; the shorter lived southern individuals could produce 9.9 million eggs over a 5 year life span while the longer lived northern females could produce 10 million eggs over a 10 year life span. In this context it should be noted that Merriner's equations, the basis of Shepherd's comparison, appears to be incorrect. By comparison to the data presented in his tables and figures, Merriner's equations greatly overestimate fecundity. It is likely that not all eggs are released during a given spawning act and that individual fish may spawn more than once during a single spawning season. Shepherd (1982) estimated that northern (New York Bight) fish release 60 to 75 percent of all eggs in the ovaries. Merriner (1973, 1976) found evidence of multiple spawnings in I and older fish. Ripe and running ripe ovaries prior to spawning in April and May contained mature follicles with interspersed clusters of immature follicles. By June, 26.6 percent of the ovaries were classified as ripe spent; however, these ovaries still possessed mature follicles, and the immature follicles were enlarging. 1 1 ' [ I '
- 3-3 3.1.6 Spawning Spawning Times and Locations The weakfish spawning season varies with latitude, extending from March through August in Georgia (Dahlberg, 1972: Mahood, 1974), April through August in North Carolina (Welsh and Breder, 1923: Higgins and Pearson, 1927: Merriner, 1976), May through September in Chesapeake Bay (Hildebrand and Schroeder, 1928: Pearson, 1941: Olney, 1983), May through September in Delaware Bay (Harmic, 1958: Thomas, 1971: Wang and Kernehan, 1979: Present Study) see Section 4.2.3, and May through October in the New York Bight including the New Jersey coastal waters and Long Island and Block Island Sounds (Perlmutter, 1939: Merriman and Sclar, 1952: Wheatland, 1956: Herman, 1963: Tatham et al., 1974: Shepherd, 1982). Spawning occurs nearshore along the coast, and in sounds and estuaries at water temperatures between 15.5 and 25°C (Herman, 1963: Wang and Kernehan, 1979) and salinity of 12.0-32.5 ppt (Harmic, 1958). In.Delaware Bay, spawning was reported by Welsh and Breder (1923) to be centered on the east side of the Bay between Maurice Cove and Cape May in 3 to 5 fathoms of water: however Harmic (1958) and Daiber et al. (1976) found spawning most intense in the area west of the shipping channel and south of the Mispillion River (rkm 19). In the present study, spawning intensity, as inferred from egg density, was also greatest in southwestern Delaware Bay. During the protracted spawning period, which may extend into late September, the center of spawning appears to gradually move upestuary to the vicinity of Port Mahon, DE (ca. rkm 40) (Section 4.2.3). During the present study spawning time was inferred from weekly weakfish egg recruitment proportions (Table 3-5) calculated from weakfish egg standing crop estimates.
Standing crop estimates, which were based on baywide ichthyoplankton sampling data for 1979-1982, were adjusted for incubation time (Appendix I: Section 4.2). Spawning was observed as early as May 11-14. Based on the four-year* mean, peak spawning was estimated to occur during May 14-27 *(weeks 20 and 21) and median egg recruitment on May 31. Over 95 percent of annual recruitment occurred by July 16-22 (week 29) and spawning continued as late as September 20-24. Secondary spawning peaks were observed during most years in the present study (Section 4.2.3) and were reported in earlier years, e.g., Daiber (1956a: 1957). These pulses likely reflect either the influx of younger age groups spawning for the first time, or potential multiple spawns by .,.* 3-4 individuals as evidenced by Daiber (1956a) and Merriner (1976) in Delaware Bay and North Carolina, respectively. Shepherd (1982) reported that females spawning in the New York Bight do.so only once per season" Diel Spawning Pattern Weakfish are reported to spawn chiefly at night, especially in the early evening (Welsh and Breder, 1923; Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953). Birthdate Designation Several analyses used in this report require a consistent system for designating age. Although any arbitrary start date could be used, it is both desirable and convenient to choose a date that corresponds closely to the initial spawning period so that the designated age closely corresponds to the true age of the fish. A reasonable birthdate for weakfish in Delaware Bay appears to be during early May based on the first occurrence of eggs and larvae (Present Study; Table 3-5: Section 4.2.3), and for convenience the birthday was fixed at the first of the month. 3.1.7 Spawn Lippson and Moran (1974) describe weakfish eggs as: "Pelagic and highly bouyant, size ca. 0.74-1.3 mm spherical, transparent with thin horny membrane and 1-4 (rarely 5 or 6) amber oil globules in yolk which coalesce with very thin perivitelline space *** " See Figure 3.2. 3.2 EMBRYONIC PHASE 3.2.1 Development, Duration Embryonic development has been describ*d or illustrated by Welsh and Breder (1923), Harmic (1958), Lippson and Moran (1974) and Powles and Stender (1978). Observations made during the present study are summarized in Table 3-6. In * *
- I l [ 3-5 the present study eggs held at 22.0 to 25.0°C hatched 29 to 36 hrs after fertilization.
Hatching times have been reported as 50 hrs at 18°C (Daiber, 1957), 36-40 hrs at 20-210C (Welsh and Breder, 1923: Merriner, 1976) and ca. 1,000 degree-hrs within a temperature range of 12 to 3l.5°C (Harmic, 1958). 3.2.2 Environmental Conditions, Hardiness Temperature Laboratory studies by Harmic (1958) showed hatching at 12.0 to 31.5°C, with an optimum range of 18 to 23.7°C. Harmic's maximum hatching rate was 11.7 percent, which was considerably lower than the 80 percent estimated by Meldrim (IA, DE, pers. comm.) for eggs laborator9-reared for a variety of experimental purposes in the present study. Harmic also found that a positive or negative thermal shock of greater than 6°C resulted in decreased hatching success: a thermal increase of 9°C produced zero hatching success. Greges and Schubel (1979) conducted heat-shock iests on weakfish eggs in late tail-free stage acclimated to 22.5°C at delta T's ranging from 2.8 to 14°C and for durations of 3 to 180 minutes. No mortality resulted from a 3 minute exposure at any delta T: for delta T's of less than ll.2°C1 mortality was low (5 percent) for all durations. Mortalities to 15 percent and 18 percent for 45 minute exposures at maximum delta T (14°C), mortality rose to 94 percent when time was doubled to 90 minutes. Greges and Schubel (1979) speculated that earlier stages would probably be less tolerant to equivalent thermal exposures, based on Frank (1973), Hopkins and Dean (1975) and Lauer et al. (1974), who all found egg tolerance to thermal stress positively related to developmental stage. Salinity Harmic (1958) studied the effects of sudden changes in salinity upon eggs acclimated to 27 ppt and 17.2°C. Sudden increases of 10 ppt or reductions of more than 5.7 ppt stopped all development within 20 hrs. In the present study, no relationship between egg viability and ambient salinity was found (Figs. 3-3 through 3-5). In the present study, 67.2 percent of weakfish eggs from 1974-1978 in the Delaware River (rkm 64-97) were alive at collection (Table 3-7). Viability (percent live) of eggs taken in baywide (rkm 0-117) sampling from 1979-1982 was 3-6 tabulated by 4-km interval for each month of high egg density (May through July) (Figs. 3-6 through 3-19). It ranged from 17.2 percent at rkm 44 in June 1981 to 97.7 percent upriver of rkm 72 in July 1981. Generally, maximum viability during May occurred between the mouth of the bay and rkm 30: during June it occurred between rkm 50 and 70: during July it varied among years. Oxygen In a series of turbulence/dissolved oxygen studies, Harmic (1958) experimented with eggs introduced to,temperatures of 18.0°C and a second series at 23.7°C. Both test series began with salinity at 32.09 ppt and dissolved oxygen level of 8.8 ppm. Lowering of dissolved oxygen to 4.3 ppm resulted in 4.3 percent hatching success. Hatching success was 0 percent at 2.4 ppm as well as when high turbulence was introduced.
3.2.3 Predators
No of predation on weakfish eggs were noted in the literature although jellyfish, ctenophores and planktivorous fish are likely predators.
3.3 LARVAL
PHASE 3.3.1 Development, Duration Weakfish prolarvae range from 1.49 to 1.99 mm TL upon hatching (Harmic, 1958). The head is spherical, with large, round eyes covering much of the lateral surface area (Fig. 3-2). Harmic (1958) reported yolk absorption complete at ca. 2.4 mm TL: Welsh and Breder (1923) reported absorption occurring at 2.2 mm NL. For detailed descriptions of the chromatophore changes associated with various developmental stages see Tracy (1908), Welsh and Breder (1923), Pearson (1941) and Harmic (1958). In the present study the duration of the prolarval stage was seen as about 58 hr at water temperature of 16-30°C and salinity of 15-20 ppt (Table 3-6). Further, the transition from pro-to postlarvae
- occurs between 24 to 58 hr after hatching during which period the yolk sac is absorbed, body depth increases, fin development accelerates, eyes become pigmented and alimentary system I .: I 1 j I J *
- 3-7 adapts for food ingestion.
We considered individuals as prolarvae through 3.0 mm TL and as postlarvae from 3.1 mm through 10.5 mm TL. This is within the reported maximum prolarval length range of 2.2 mm NL (Welsh and Breder, 1923; Pearson, 1941; Lippson and Moran, 1974) to 3.0 mm NL (Wang and Kernehan, 1979). Johnson (1978) does not cite an upper length for prolarvae but reports minimum length of postlarvae as 3.5 mm. As larvae develop they lose bouyancy and sink to the bottom. This occurs by 8-10 mm TL (Pearson, 1941) and perhaps as early as 1.5-5.0 mm HL (Hildebrand and Cable, 1934). At 4.6 mm NL, the caudal, anal and dorsal fins begin differentiation inside the finfold; at 8.2 mm NL (Pearson, 1941) anal fin rays are distinct. The larval stage ends when a full complement of fin rays has developed, at ca. 10.5 mm TL (Fig. 3-2) (Section 3.4.1). Duration of the postlarval phase is ca. 8 to 18 *days depending on the growth rate of the individual (Present Study) see Section 3.7. 3.3.2 Environmental Conditions, Hardiness Temperature There are relatively few reports on the temperature tolerance of weakfish larvae. In the present study, Meldrim (1979) measured the critical thermal maximum (CTM) temperature of 49 larvae aged 4 to 17 days. The CTM temperatures for specimens 4 to 16 days old ranged only from 33.l to 33.8°C, while the CTM for specimens aged 17 days was 35.5°C. In studies of effects due to sudden temperature increases, he exposed larvae to increases of 2 to 16°C for durations of 1 to 240 minutes (Figs. 3-20 through 3-25). Mortality generally increased with acclimation and test temperature, and exposure duration. Greges and Schubel (1979), reporting on thermal shock response of weakfish larvae acclimated to 22.5°C, noted higher mortality at given temperature increases with longer exposure times. At a temperature increase of ll.2°C mortality increased from an average of 16 percent for 3 and 15 minute exposure, to 61 percent for exposures of 45 to 180 minutes. Total (100 percent) mortality occurred when temperature was increased by 14°C for 45 minutes or more
- 3-8 Salinity Harmic (1958) reported capture of newly hatched larvae in Delaware Bay at salinity of 12.0 to 31.5 ppt. As larvae develop and become demersal they occur further up Bay and in the lower River where salinity tends to be lower (3-15 ppt) (Thomas, 1971). No information on effects of salinity on activity or growth was found. 3.3.3 Competitors Intraspecific competition exists amon9 weakfish larvae, juveniles and, to some extent, small adults for Gammarus and Neomysis (Bason et al., 1976; Thomas, deSylva et al. (1962) also identified striped bass, silver perch, kingfish, Atlantic silverside, summer flounder and windowpane flounder as significant consumers of Neomysis in Delaware Bay and therefore potential competitors.
3.3.4 Predators
Thomas (1971) reported that larval weakfish are cannibalized by larger larval and juveniles. Bason (1971) reported weakfish of 10-20 mm TL in stomachs of adult and subad.ult striped bass in Delaware Bay and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Bason et al. (1976) reported weakfish in stomachs of bluefish in the Canal. Few other predator diet studies have identified prey larvae to the species level; however, given the opportunistic feeding habits of most estuarine piscivores, it is likely that summer flounder, catfish, eels and oyster toadfish are among the common predators of larval weakfish during the months that they provide abundant forage. The occurrence of unidentified larval fish remains in the stomachs of diamondback terrapin captured in weakfish nursery grounds (R. E. Meadows, IA, pers. comm.), suggests it as a potential predator also. 3.4 JUVENILE PHASE 3.4.1 Development, Duration Transition from larval to juvenile phase is conventionally considered to occur when a full complement of fin rays has

- 3-9 developed.
For weakfish, reported size at this occurrence ranges from 10.0 mm TL (Wang and Kernehan, 1979) to 12.5 mm (Welsh and Breder, 1923). The most frequently cited length of 10.5 mm (Pearson, 1941; Lippson and Moran, 1974; Johnson, 1978) was adopted as the transition size in present study analysis. At this length, weakfish have lost bouyancy and begun a demersal existence (Johnson, 1978). As they grow the body lengthens and becomes less compressed; the pointed tail gradually becomes indented and homocercal
- . Pearsori (1941) indicates that adult body form becomes recognizable between 17 and 32 mm TL. Wilk (1979) and Johnson (1978) report that the characteristic weakfish body outline is recognizable at 32 mm TL. Duration of the juvenile life stage varies from one to two years. Most weakfish become mature by the end of their second summer (age l+; ca. 250 mm TL); almost all are mature by the end of their third summer (age 2+; ca. 325 TL) see Section 3 .1. 2. 3.4.2 Environmental Conditions, Hardiness Temperature In present-study experiments, sudden temperature decreases of 14°C or more were lethal within 96 hrs (Fig. 3-26) (PSE&G, 1978). Smaller decreases were also lethal when ambient temperature was 6°C or less (Meldrim, Hildebrand and Cable (1934) speculated that weakfish could not survive water temperature much below 41°F (5°C). Schwartz (1964a) noted a die-off of adults at 3.3°C. Experiments described in PSE&G (1978) incorporating sudden temperature increases demonstrate that, for a given delta T (4.0-10.5°C), survival of juveniles (22-129 mm TL) decreases as acclimation temperature increases (range 22-30°C) (Fig. 3-27). Some of this mortality may have resulted from exceeding the critical thermal maximum (CTM). Salinity In present-study low salinity shock studies, when salinity was decreased by 3.5-8.5 ppt from acclimation levels of 6.0-10 .0 ppt juvenile weakfish experienced generally high mortalities, from 40-100 percent. However, when acclimation was at 13.0-16.5 ppt, decreases of even 10.0-14.5 ppt resulted in much lower mortality, from 0-42 percent. Mortality was total whenever salinity reached O.O ppt.
3-10 These experimental data (Figs. 3-28 and 3-29) suggest a possible.minimum salinity threshold of < 4.0 ppt and that the stress of reduced salinity is most acute for specimens acclimated to near this level. Noted in the present study, a fish kill including weakfish occurred in the Delaware River estuary in July 1969 when fresh flood-waters reduced salinity from 7.6 to less than 3 ppt (Thomas, 1971). 3.4.3 Competitors Juvenile weakfish compete with larvae and adults for Neomysis and Gammarus (Thomas, 1971). Weakfish become more piscivorous in early autumn, at which time competition with striped bass, flounders, eels and bluefish could occur. There appears to be minimal competition
- with other sciaenids.
Chao and Musick (1977) examined niche partitioning of five sciaenid species, including weakfish, in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay and concluded that dissimilar spatial and temporal distribution and different morphological features dictated different food and feeding habits, thus enabling a number of similar species to share the habitat. Similar implication relative to sciaenids in the Delaware estuary made in Thomas (1971) (Section 4
- 6)
- 3.4.4 Predators Thomas (1971) and Daiber and Smith (1971) note significant cannibalism among weakfish, with adults and large young feeding on young and larvae. This was also noted in laboratory holding facilities in the present study. Wilk (1979) comments that principal predators include bluefish and striped bass. Bigelow and Schroeder (1953) found weakfish in goosefish stomachs.
Weakfish young are likely prey for piscivorous birds, such as cormorants and osprey. 3. 5 ADULT PHASE 3.5.l Longevity Shepherd (1982) observed that maximum age of weakfish differed substantially among regions but not between sexes, based on samples taken in 1979-1981. He reported maximum ages of 11 years for specimens in the region from Cape Cod *
- 3-11 to Delaware Bay, five and six years for males and females respectively in Chesapeake Bay, and three years for specimens from the Cape Hatteras, NC region. Supporting this apparent north-south trend, Seagraves (198la) recounted the maximum age of specimens collected in the Delaware Bay as nine years. Merriner (1973) generally supports this geographic trend; however, he reported maximum age as seven years (age group VI) in North Carolina waters near Cape Hatteras.
The apparent disagreement between Merriner (1973) and Shepherd (1982) regarding North Carolina may reflect Shepherd's small sample size from that area, i.e., < 200 vs ca. 1,000 specimens.
3.5.2 Environmental
Conditions, Hardiness Data addressing the tolerance levels of adult weakfish to temperature, salinity, or dissolved oxygen are sparse or existant. Smith (1907) interpreted seasonal migration patterns as evidence of preference for water warmer than 4.4°C and acute sensitivity to cold . 3.5.3 Competitors Adult weakfish compete with other midwater carnivores, such as striped bass, bluefish (Wilk, 1979), and summer flounder (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953). 3.5.4 Predators Wilk (1979) cites bluefish, striped bass, and larger weakfish as predators. Weakfish have been found in the stomachs of dogfish (Hildebrand and Schroeder, 1928). 3.6 PARASITES, DISEASES, INJURIES, AND ABNORMALITIES -JUVENILES AND ADULTS Merriner (1973) reports parasites from the phyla Protozoa, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Trematoda, Nematoda, Copepoda and Isopoda as associated with weakfish (Table 3-8). Lindsay and Moran (1976) examined 969 weakfish from Delaware Bay and determined that fish 51-210 mm FL were common hosts of the 3-12 isopods Lironeca ovalis and Olencira praegustator. Lawler (1979) lists weakfish among the hosts of the parasitic dinoflagellate Amyloodinium occellatum. Mahoney et al. (1973) reported weakfish as one of the most susceptible of marine and euryhaline fishes in New York Bight to "fin rot" disease, and that this disease may be a consequence of their residence in polluted water. He noted the disease in 10.7 percent of the 1,229 fish examined; Tatham et al. (1977) found it in only 1.2 percent of 1,572 fish from coastal New Jersey. Tower (1902) reported the presence of gallstones in 3 out of 300 weakfish specimens. Pugheadedness was recorded by Dahlberg (1970), Tatham et al. (1977) and in the present study. 3.7 NUTRITION AND GROWTH 3.7.1 Feeding The feeding habits of weakfish are well documented. Chao and Musick (1977) demonstrated that the mouth morphology of weakfish is well adapted for rapacious pelagic predation, with large, terminal jaws and both conical and canine teeth
- This structure permits the fish to quickly seize and swallow large pelagic prey. Further, they noted that the fusiform, compressed body and lack of barbels indicate the weakfish to be a fast-swimming sight-feeder.
Larvae and small young are highly selective feeders; juveniles, as they advance in age, seek larger and a wider variety of prey (Thomas, 1971; Stickney et al., 1975; Wilk, 1979). The period of growth during which the shift occurs is generally complete by October (Thomas, 1971). This shift has been attributed to increased daily food ration requirement rather than changes in prey availability {Merriner, 1973; Bason et al., 1976). See section 3.7.2 for a detailed description of prey selection. There is disagreement as to whether diel feeding patterns exist among weakfish. Daiber and Smith (1969) found no evidence of a day/night feeding difference among adults. Thomas (1971) found a two-thirds reduction in Neomysis americana consumption at night by young weakfish. Field data and laboratory observations suggested by Lascara (1981) that weakfish feed along the edge of eelgrass beds during low light periods {dusk to dawn). Adult weakfish have been reported to cease feeding between peak gonadal ripeness and spawning {Muller, 1976); however, in the present study running ripe males were captured with hook and line and running ripe females which had recently fed were taken in gill {Horseman, 1979). * *
- r l [ l I* r [ l 3-13 3.7.2 Food The food habits of weakfish have been widely studied throughout its range (Peck, 1896; Welsh and Breder, 1923; Hildebrand and Schroeder, 1928; Pearson, 1941; Bigelow and Schroeder, .1953; deSylva et al., 1962; Daiber and Smith, 1969, 1971; Thomas, 1971; Merriner, 1973, 1975; Stickney et al., 1975; Bason et al., 1976; Schuler, 1976; Chao and Musick, 1977; Schwartz et al., 1980; PSE&G, 1980). Larval and early young weakfish feed predominantly upon Neomysis (Thomas, 1971; Stickney et al., 1975; Bason et al., 1976). Thomas (1971) and Stickney et al. (1975) also identified Copepoda as important diet items for larvae and juveniles under 50 mm SL. Fish become increasingly important prey as the juveniles grow. Weakfish will prey on a wide range of crtlstaceans, annelids, and pelagic molluscs (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953). The literature agrees that larger young and adults are predominantly piscivorous.
In the present study fish occurred in 45 to 56 percent of stomachs examined among weakfish 121-180 mm FL (Thomas, 1971). Stickney ct al. (1975) observed a similar occurrence pattern of fish prey in weakfish collected from estuaries from Winyah Sound, SC to the St. Johns River, FL, as did Merriner (1975) for weakfish in Pamlico Sound, NC. In Delaware Bay, bay anchovy was reported as the greatest single food by volume, especially
- in the eastern part of the Bay by Schuler (1976). Bason et al. (1976) found bay anchovy in ca. 5 percent of the 60.0 mm FL weakfish (n = 95), but in nearly 100 percent of fish over 180 mm FL (n = 7). In several coastal locations clupeids frequently ranked high as weakfish prey taxa. Blueback 'herring and menhaden were common in Massachusetts (Peck, 1896; Welsh and Breder, 1923); Merriner (1973) reported menhaden as important in North Carolina waters. Thread herring were important in Florida (Welsh and Breder, 1923). Daiber and Smith (1971) and Merriner (1975) stated that reported diet differences reflect local variations in forage species abundance rather than a regional preference for any particular prey. Weakfish cannibalism has been commonly reported in Delaware River estuary (Daiber and Smith, 1971; Thomas, 1971; Bason et al., 1976) and elsewhere (Welsh and Breder, 1923: Merriner, 1973). Thomas (1971) reported that young weakfish comprised at least 37.5 percent of fish consumed by Delaware Bay adults. Daiber and Smith (1971) speculated that depressed menhaden stocks may have triggered weakfish cannibalism in Delaware Bay during their study. Cannibalism may be especially common in the presence of an unusually strong 0+ weakfish year class.
3-14 3.7.3 Growth Rate Larvae and Juveniles The present study included laboratory investigations into the growth rate of larval and juvenile weakfish (for procedure see Appendix I). From specimens held in aquaria at temperatures of 19-20°C and salinities of 13-25 ppt, approximately ten were removed and measured at each of nine intervals between July 1 through September
- 20. September 13th and September 20th data were not included in analyses because a decrease in mean length suggested bias resulting from the rearing conditions.
Size-at-age over the 68 day period (Fig. 3-30) can be described by the polynomial equation: where TL = 1.0437 + 0.0156D + 0.0303D 2 -0.00031D 3 2 (n = 91; R = 0.935; p < 0.01) TL = total length in millimeters D = age in days. Daily growth rate (GR) may be obtained from the first derivative: GR = 0.0156 + 0.0606D -0.00092D 2 The maximum daily growth rate was 1.01 mm/day while the average growth rate over the entire 68 day period was 0.66 mm/day. Comparison with other studies indicates that these laboratory-determined values may be low. Harmic (1958) reported that larvae grew from 1.8 mm TL at hatching to 2.4 mm in 70 hours (i.e., 0.21 mm/day). Our laboratory studies indicated a mean size of 3.1 mm seven days after hatching. Allowing 1.8 mm at hatching, growth was 0.19 mm/day. Welsh and Breder (1923) cited Tracy (1908) as indicating that weakfish reach 17.5 mm 15 days after hatching (i.e., 1.17 mm/day) while the model derived from our laboratory observations predicts 7.0 mm 0.47 mm/day). Welsh and Breder (1923) estimated from field samples the following size-at-age relative to a June 1 hatch: Date Size (mm) July 1 30 August 1 80 September 1 130 October 1 170 November 1 180 l 1 .I J J I 1 J J l J *
- 3-15 These equate to monthly average growth rates of approximately 1.00, 1.61, 1.61, 1.33 and 0.32 mm/day for June to November, respectively.
They stated that growth was rapid until September, practically ceased in November, and then began again the following spring. Polgar et al. (1979) reported that in the Potomac River weakfish reached 50 mm in ca. 60-90 days (i.e., 0.56-0.83 mm/day). Daily larval and juvenile growth rates may also be estimated from field data collected during the present study. In most years two cohorts of juveniles were apparent. By following each cohort separately, as reflected through modes in frequency distributions (Section 4.1.3), growth rates averaged approximately 0.76-1.40 mm/day from hatching to October (Table 3-9). Since growth estimates derived from catch length-frequency data may be biased low if recruitment occurs over a prolonged period, an independent check using a second method is advantageous. Seagraves (198la) reported an average size of 164 mm SL (ca. 197 mm TL) at time of first annulus formation, i.e., Since little or no growth occurs from November through the following spring (assumed as May 1) and the median date is May 31 (Table 3-5), approximately 209.days are available for growth. This suggests an average growth rate of approximately 0.94 mm/day and predicts that by November, fish leaving the estuary should be ca. 140 mm TL. This agrees quite favorably with the observed mean length of first cohort weakfish taken by 4.9-m bottom trawl during late 1978 (Fig. 3-31) and the modal size of first cohort weakfish taken in November trawl and impingement samples. Adults Although age determination of adult weakfish has been estimated from annular marks on otoliths and vertebrae (Merriner, 1973), it is generally based on annular marks on scales, Time of annulus formation ranges from March through September (Table 3-10), with most taking place during June through July; however, timing appears to vary with locality, age, and year. Annulus formation tends to occur earlier in southern portions of the range and later in northern portions. In North Carolina, Schwartz et al. (1979), reported peak formation in May while in New York, Perlmutter et al. (1956), reported annulus formation in July. Annulus formation also appears to take place earlier in younger fish. Massman (1963b) reported it in April-August for yearlings but June-July for older fish in Chesapeake Bay. Annual variations in annulus formation timing are suggested from studies conducted in Delaware Bay: Daiber (1956a) reported formation in mid-July, Thomas (1971) late May throusn late July and Seagraves (198la) June through July. 3-16 To obtain growth estimates from scale annuli, the relationship between scale radius and fish length must be known. This relationship has been described by several workers (Table 3-11) for weakfish, but direct comparison among all data sets is not possible due to differences in length standards (TL vs SL), magnification factors, and statistical model form. Shepherd (1982) noted no significant differences between sexes but did find significant differences among geographic locations, with a trend towards decreasing slopes in more southerly regions. Calculated length-at-age in various water bodies suggests that growth rates of adult weakfish vary considerably among regions, years, and to a lesser degree, sexes (Tables 3-12 through 3-15). For combined sexes, Shepherd (1982) discovered significant differences among regions for ages one through four. Size-at-age in the most southerly region, Virginia Beach, VA to Cape Fear, NC, was significantly greater for the first year, but, by age three, the maximum recorded from that area, size-at-age was significantly smaller than the northern regions. Seagraves (198la) compared the growth of weakfish (sexes combined) taken from Delaware Bay during 1956 to those taken during 1979 and found two very different growth patterns (Fig. 3-32). Size-at-age of fish taken during 1956 was smaller at all ages, wiEh the oldest age group, IV, reaching 264 mm SL. Fish taken during 1979 reached a maximum size of 630 mm SL at a maximum age of IX. Several workers, have speculated on explanations for this progressive shift in growth rates over the 1960's and 1970's. Seagraves (198la) implied that the 1956 population may have consisted of a slower growing, shorter-lived stock of southern fish. He also stated that there was circumstantial evidence suggesting a negative correlation between stock density and growth in that recreation catch in the late 1960's and 1970's. Feldheim (1975) attributed the differences to an increase in survival and recruitment during the late 1960's. Perlmutter et al. (1956) noted a progressive increase in average size at each annulus beyond the first for weakfish taken in New York waters from 1921 through 1928. Although fish collected in 1946 through 1951 displayed no* consistent trend in size-at-age over years, they were at least as large or larger, especially at older ages, than fish taken in 1928. They attributed the apparent increase in growth to a decreasing contribution of slower growing southern-spawned fish. J r f [ I
- 3-17 Seagraves (198la), when comparing length-at-age between male and female weakfish at each age by t-test, found no significant differences.
However, females tended to be larger at each age. When overall growth functions were tested, males were found to grow at a significantly greater rate than females. However, thi9 test was probably biased by a single large age VI male (Mercer, 1983). Shepherd (1982) reported that length-at-age was greater for females from all regions but did not become statistically significant until age 6. Merriner (1973) noted that females were significantly larger at ages I through IV for Hatteras, NC, area fish but found no differences in the Morehead City, NC area. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters for male, female and combined sexes weakfish are presented in Table 3-16. The von Bertalanffy functions reported by Seagraves (198la) and Shepherd (1982) reflect growth rates greater than those reported for Delaware Bay in 1956 (Figs. 3-33, 3-34} (Daiber, 1956a; Seagraves, 198la) or for the New York Bight in 1929 or 1952 (Nesbit, 1954; Perlmutter et al., 1956; Shepherd, 1982; Shepherd and Grimes, unpubl.). Shepherd and suggested that a decline in abundance over the years has resulted in increased growth of individuals (compensatory growth) as described by Botsford (1981). Other possible contributing factors include changes in food availability such as greater abundance of large prey items or changes in migration patterns resulting in a greater proportion of northern (faster growing) fish in recent years (Seagraves, 198la). Length-weight relationships from various areas are summarized in Table 3-17. Several of these are illustrated in Figure 3-35. Tatham et al. (1977), Wilk et al. (1978), Seagraves (198la), and the present study found no difference between sexes. Merriner (1973) found no sex-related difference in the Morehead City, NC area, but females in the Hatteras, NC area weighed significantly (p < 0.05) more than males at a given length. Schwartz et al. (l979) reported significant (p < 0.05) variation among years. 3.8 BEHAVIOR 3.8.l Migrations and Local Movements In the spring, as water temperature increases weakfish move generally inshore and northward from off-shore overwintering grounds extending from Florida to North Carolina (Pearson, 1932; Nesbit, 1954; Wilk, 1979) (Fig. 3-36). Pearson (1932) concluded that larger and older individuals possibly moved 3-18 further up the coast than did 2-3 year old specimens which seemed to move directly inshore to North Carolina sounds and Chesapeake Bay. Nesbit (1954) found that weakfish 3 years old and older dominated the catch in samples in northern New Jersey and Fire Island, NY, supporting to some degree Pearson's (1932) conclusion. However, he also found that a few one year-old specimens did move to southern New Jersey in mid-summer. Additionally, data from Daiber (1954; 1956a,b), Daiber and Smith (1971) and the present study indicate that 1-3 year old individuals were common in summer collections in Delaware Bay. Welsh and Breder (1923) reported that weakfish first appear along the middle Atlantic coast in April and May as mature individuals entering estuaries to spawn. Mercer (1983) reported c6mmercial catches of*weakfish off Cape Henry, VA in March, and Daiber and Smith (1971) cited their moving into Delaware Bay as early as April. Commercial and sport catches, and Dingell-Johnson trawl data (Daiber and Smith, 1971) indicate that fish age 3+ and older enter the Delaware Bay first; successive arrivals of younger fish continue into the summer. This progression suggests that older fish swim faster, overwinter closer to Delaware Bay or begin spring migration earlier than do younger fish. After spawning, weakfish generally leave the estuary and move into coastal ocean waters and remain there into the fall (Welsh and Breder, 1923). Their progeny generally remain in or near their natal waters during their first summer. Local movements of weakfish 0+ are discussed in Section 4.2.3 and illustrated in Figure 3-37. In the fall weakfish generally move off shore and southward (Fig. 3-38; Wilk, 1979). Young and sub-age 4+ adults leave estuaries and southward along the coast and overwinter near shore from Virginia to perhaps Florida (Wilk, 1979). Age 4+ and older fish, which move out of estuaries shortly after spawning and summer along the coast, move only as far south as North Carolina and overwinter farther off shore than the younger fish (Wilk, 1979). These fish appear to follow the 16°C isotherm offshore and, at least in mild winters, may occur as far north as New Jersey (Shepherd, NMFS, pers. comm.). Juveniles also move progressively to warmer water in the lower estuary and southward to shore overwintering grounds along the coast. 3.8.2 Schooling Schooling begins during the pre-adult phase and is organized by size (Wilk, 1979). Schools in Delaware Bay are often composed of a single or several consecutive year classes
- I I I I ' t ' l I * .'.* -, . 3-19 Feldheim, 1975). Bigelow and Schroeder (1953) stated that schools are usually small and occasionally quite dense, citing an instance in which three commercial fishing craft took over 200,000 lbs of fish. Wilk (1979) reported that under laboratory conditions dense schooling was induced by fright or thermal stress. 3.8.3 Responses to Stimuli Weakfish are sensitive to cold (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953), and declining temperatures are believed to prompt the fall emigration from estuaries and bays toward southern wintering grounds (Thomas, 1971). Shepherd (NMFS, pers. comm.) has observed that the bulk of the.fish follow the l6°C isotherm offshore.
Schwartz (1964b), observing captive adult weakfish in declining ambient temperature, reported that swim speed was drastically reduced at 10°C and feeding activity halted at 7.9°C. Conversely, Wilk (1979) noted a 35 percent increase in actlvity (i.e., swimming speed) as temperature was gradually increased (0.05°C/hr) from a 19-200C acclimation temperature to ca. 29°C. Weakfish normally move to deeper, warmer water during winter cold spells (Welsh and Breder, 1923). In the present study, temperature preference experiments with age 0+ weakfish acclimated to 10-30°C indicated a final preferendum of ca. 27°C (PSE&G, 1978). At the extremes, specimens acclimated to 10°C preferred 19°C and those at 30°C preferred 20°C. Generally, fish acclimated at 24°C or below tended to select a warmer temperature; those at above 24°C sought water cooler than their acclimation temperature. Temperature avoidance tests were conducted during the present study at acclimation temperatures ranging from 16 to 31°C (PSE&G, 1978). Specimens acclimated at 16°C exhibited an avoidance response at 24-25°C; those acclimated at 31°C avoided at 34°C. Generally, avoidance temperature increased with acclimation temperature. Typical summer temperatures in Delaware Bay ranged from 25 to 30°C and specimens acclimated to temperatures within this range (mean acclimation temperature = 26.9°C) exhibited a mean avoidance temperature of 31.1°C. Chlorine avoidance studies on a limited number of age 0+ weakfish (n = 6) indicate they will avoid relatively low chlorine concentrations (less than 0.1 mg/l) (PSE&G, 1978) * ,-- 3-20 Table 3-1

4.1 STRUCTURE
4.1.1 Sex Ratio 4-1 SECTION 4.0 POPULATION The coastal population of weakfish is likely composed of equal numbers of males and females. Shepherd and Grimes (unpubl.) examined 1,240 fish (50-900 mm TL) from Massachusetts to North Carolina and reported a male:female ratio of 1.09:1 which was not significantly (p < 0.05) different from 1:1 (Table 4-1). Shepherd (1982) noted that males outnumber females in the 45-to 60-cm size range but the opposite is true between 60 and 80 cm. He attributes this to females growing out of the range at a faster rate than males (see Section 3.7.3). In the Delaware Estuary each sex is about equally represented (Table 4-1). Daiber (1956a) found evidence of monosex schooling in Delaware Bay but no preponderance of one sex over the other. The deviation from a 1:1 ratio that was observed in the present study may be due to small sample size (Table 4-1). 4.1.2 Age Composition Reported age composition varies with latitude, season and year (Table 4-2). Older age groups (2+ and older) increasingly dominate catches from south to north (Nesbit, 1954). Agel+ fish typically dominate North Carolina commercial catches throughout most of the year (Wolff, 1972; Sholar, 1979: Devries, 1981) and Chesapeake Bay catches during summer (Massman, 1963a). Nesbit (1954) reported that l+ fish comprised less than 20 percent of the catch north of Delaware Bay: 2+ fish dominated in southern New Jersey and 3+ dominated in northern Jersey and Long Island waters. In Delaware Bay, age 3+ and older fish have typically dominated the population in May, but modal age then declined through the summer and age l+ typically dominated in August (Daiber, 1956a, 1957: Daiber and Smith, 1971: Feldheim, 1975). Massman (1963a) observed a similar pattern in Chesapeake Bay and surmised that the older May/June fish departed the estuary for northern summer feeding grounds and reappeared briefly in October during the fall migration. 4-2 There is evidence of an apparent shift in age-structure of weakfish occurring in Delaware Bay. Studies conducted during the mid-1950's through the early 1970's indicated a virtual absence of fish age 5+ and older (Daiber, 1954; 1957; Daiber and Smith, 1971) (Table 4-2). Based on analysis of scale samples collected by Daiber (1956a) in Delaware Bay during 1956, Seagraves (198la) reported the following age-class composition: 26.9 percent, age l+; 39.6 percent, age 2+; 29.6 percent, age 3+; and 3.9 percent, age 4+ (Table 4-2). Samples collected by Seagraves (198la) in 1979, however, demonstrated the presence of fish to age 9+; age-class composition was: 36.6 percent, age l+: 46.8 percent, age 2+; 9.3 percent, age 3+: 1.9 percent, age 4+: 3.2 percent, age 5+; and 2.2 percent, age 6+ and older (Table 4-2). 4.1.3 Size Composition As with age composition (Section 4.1.2), size varies with coastal latitude and time at any given location. Gear selectivity also affects size composition of the catch and it must be considered when comparing studies using different gears. Nesbit (1954) examined pound net catches from New York to North Carolina and found that modal length of adults decreased from north to south. Shepherd and Grimes (1982) reported the same trend in trawl catches between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras in 1979-1981. The trend resulted primarily from a smaller proportion of older age groups in the south, but size within each age group also decreased from north to south (Nesbit, 1954). Age O+ fish were the exception: by October they were relatively uniform in length throughout their range (Nesbit, 1954). Daiber (1957), Massman (1963a), Daiber and Smith (1971), and Wilk and Silverman (1976) reported that the average size of fish in inshore areas decreased between May and October. This is caused by both emigration of large fish and recruitment of small fish. Seagraves (198la) reported a shift in size composition within Delaware Bay over the last three decades (Section 3.7.3). In 1953-1955 and 1966-1969 trawl catches were dominated by 180-300 mm TL fish. In 1970, 1971 and 1979 there was a greater proportion of larger fish. Size composition of the catch in the present study is presented in Figures 4-1 through 4-9 for larval through adult life phases. Modal size decreased from ca. 300 mm FL in May to ca. 30 mm FL in June as adults left the Bay after spawning and 0+ fish were recruited (Fig. 4-9). Continued

- 4-3 recruitment of 0+ young from June through early September is reflected in the wide range and variation around the mean length for each sampling period (Figs. 4-10 through 4-16). Mean length of fish taken by bottom trawl generally was slightly greater than of those taken in corresponding pelagic fixed-frame trawls because of larger mesh size of the former. Mean length generally increased steadily from June through September, reflecting growth (Section 3.7.3). As larger juveniles and adults exited the Bay during late September and October, mean length levelled off or declined through the end of each year (Figs. 4-5 through 4-9). During some years a bimodal size distribution was apparent in the 0+ age group (Present Study, Section 3.7.3; Thomas, 1971). It was most likely a result of two major pulses of spawning (Daiber, 1956a, 1957; Daiber and Smith, 1971; Shepherd and Grimes, unpubl.) and by fall it was no longer apparent, perhaps because fish the Bay earlier than the smaller fish. By age l+ the fish had a single length mode because of growth convergence or greater mortality of the smaller fish during migration (Shepherd and Grimes, unpubl.).
4.2 ABUNDANCE
AND DENSITY 4.2.1 Average Abundance Polgar et al. (1979) estimated the population of juveni7e weakfish in the Potomac estuary (rkm 0-105) as 4.6 x 10 fish based on data collected during 1976. No estimates of adult populations could be found in the literature.
4.2.2 Changes
in Abundance Harmic (1958) estimated annual egg production during 1955-1957 in Delaware Bay as 450 billion, based on egg densities in plankton tows. This was a period of relatively low abundance and small average size of spawners. Present-study estimates of annual baywide production ranged from 1.5 El2 to 8.6 El2 for 1979 through 1982 (Table Assessment of coastal adult weakfish abundance depends on inference drawn from sport and commercial landings (Section 5.4.3). Fluctuating effort, especially during World War II, distorted the trend but it appears the population experienced a long gradual decline beginning in the mid 1930 1 s (McHugh, 1972, 1979; Joseph, 1972; Murawski, 1977). Joseph (1972) cited overfishing and DDT as responsible for . . . *1* 4-4 the decline and believed that catch statistics since 1945 accurately reflect abundance. Merriner (1973) considered Joseph's conclusions about DDT to be ill however, catches did increase dramatically in the late l960's after DDT was banned (McHugh, 1979). Commercial landings increased more than ten fold to near-record levels between 1967 and 1979. Recreational landings showed the same trend although effort also increased substantially (Section 5.4.1). Poole (NYDEC, pers. comm.) has noted an apparent decline in adult weakfish abundance in New York waters since the' l950's. This is believed by Poole to reflect general weakfish population trends, with expansion into the New York region occurring during years of coastwide abundance and retraction during years of reduced species abundance. However, McHugh (1979) concluded that we?kfish were more abundant in mid-Atlantic waters than at any time in history. Daiber and Smith (1971) report that, at least on a term basis, abundance in Delaware Bay appears to fluctuate randomly from year to year. Miller (1978), in c0mmenting on the Delaware sport fishery of the 1960's and 1970's, concluded that twofold increases and decreases in weaktish catch per unit effort were the rule rather than the exception (Section 5.4). 4.2.3 Average Density Density of a given life stage of weakfish typically exhibits considerable spatial and temporal variation within an estuary. Temporal-spatial variations observed during the present study are summarized in Tables 4-4 through 4-29 and Figures 4-17 through 4-326. Eggs, larvae and juveniles are carried or swim upestuary from spawning grounds (Thomas, 1971), causing densities to peak progressively farther upestuary for each successive life stage. For example, Olney (1983) found weakfish larvae in lower Chesapeake Bay, with peak densities occurring at mid-channel stations near the Bay mouth, while another study conducted further upestuary (lower Potomac River) detected the presence of juveniles, but no larvae (Polgar et al., 1979) (Table 4-3). A similar trend was apparent in the present study. Annual regional egg densities were greatest between 3 rkm 0-32, ranging from 1,341 per lOOm to 12,984 per lOOm (Figs. 4-21 through 4-24). Welsh and Breder (1923) reported eggs offshore of Delaware Bay as well. Localized areas of high egg density occurred progressively further upestuary during the late spring and summer (Figs. 4-25 through 4-63). and pc3tlarval densities typically peaked between rkm 16-80,
- I I J I I I I * *-*-.. **-*-----.. 4-5 ranging from 95.1 per 100m 3 to 249 per 100m 3 for prolarvae (Figs. 4-68 throug§ 4-71 and Figs. 4372 through 4-108) and from per lOOm to 55.8 per lOOm for postlarvae (Figs. 4-113 through 4-116 and Figs. 4-117 through 4-156). Age O+ weakfish were distributed throughout the estuary, i.e., rkm with peak densities ranging from ca. 5.5 to 16.5 per lOOm occurring within the 0-80 rkm region. The center of O+ density to the lower Bay (rkm 0-32) during September in most years as the fish congregated near the Bay mouth prior to the autumnal migration (Figs. 4-157 through 4-163 and Figs. 4-164 through 4-246: Daiber and Smith, 1971). Density of adult fish (l+ and older) was greatest between rkm 0-64 (Figs. 4-247 through 4-253 and Figs .. 4-254 through 4-326: Thomas, 1971: Daiber and Smith, 1971). Temporal (seasonal) changes in density also occurred in Delaware Bay for each life stage. Eggs first appeared in baywide ichthyoplankton tows between mid.May and early June in the present study. Highest densities, reflecting peak spawning activity, at this time and ranged from 1.4 to 7,207 eggs per lOOm
- In most years, a secondary peak (ranging from about 500 to 2,400 eggs per lOOm ) occurred ln late June or July (Tables 4-4 through 4-7: Figs *. 4-17 through 4-20). Due to a relatively short incubation period (Section 3.2.1) and a rapid growth rate (Section 3.7.3)i pro-and postlarval temporal peaks in density closely parallel those of eggs, prolarval peak density ranges of 10.9 to 119.3 per lOOm (Tables 4-8 through 4-11: Figs. 4-64 through and postlarval peaks ranging from 1.1 to 37.8 per lOOm (Tables 4-12 through 4-15: Figs. 4-109 through 4-112). Mean larval (pro and post) summer densities from Chesapeake Bay 1971 through 1974 ranged from 1.1 to 302.6 per lOOm (Olney, 1983): larval density ranges in the River (DE) estuary were reported as 0.2 to 65.0 per lOOm during May, June and July sampling in 1975-1976 (EA, 1976). Long Island 3 sound (NY) larval estimates ranged between 10-15 per lOOm during the summers of 1980 through 1982 (Williams, GeoMet Tech, Inc., pers. comm.) (Table 4-3). Age 0+ fish were recruited throughout the late spring and summer, with annual baywide peaks occurring between late July and lat3 August, and peak densities ranging from 1.9 to 7.9 per lOOm (Tables 4-16 through 4-22, Figs. 4-157 through 4-163). These densities exceed those reported by Polgar 3 et ale (1979) for the Potomac River estuary of 0.7 per lOOm
- Adult fish (l+ and older) typically evidence a peak in density in June in the lower Bay (Daiber and Smith, 1971), which reflects an influx of adults which disperse after spawning (Tables 4-23 through 4-29) .
4-6 4.2.4 Changes in Density Mercer (1983) compiled catch per unit effort data for the coastal commercial fishery between 1940 and 1976. She warned that effort-based estimates are crude but the data are likely the best available index of coastal density. Catch per unit effort was highest in 1945, declined through the 1950's, then increased from the 1960's through 1976 (Section 5.4.3). Joseph (1972) interpreted declining catch per unit eff9rt subsequent to 1945 as indicative of a general population decline but stated that commercial landings data from earlier years were biased by changing market demand and fluctuating effort, and are therefore probably unreliable indicators of abundance. There is some evidence that weakfish populations in Delaware Bay have been declining in recent years *. Smith (1981, 1982) reported a decreasing abundance index (number of fish per nautical mile) over the period 1966 through 1981 (Fig. 4-327). The observed decrease in abundance was accompanied by an observed increase in mean fish length, suggesting to him that the fishery was being by the strong 1966-68 year classes. An increase in 3ize of entries in the Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament was noted by Seagraves (198la). Lesser (1982) suggested that the apparent decline was part of a natural cycle and that weakfish are now on the downside. However, he did not present the data upon which his suggestion was based. Evidence to the existence of cycles might be inferred from Mercer (1983), citing Austin (1981), describing peaks in abundance at ca. 10-year intervals in a trawl-based index series of juvenile abundance in the York River, VA, 1955-1982. Smith (1982) implied that weakfish year-class strength is determined by unpredictable environmental fluctuations and that the fishery is dependent on the occurrence of strong year classes. Present study data (Figs. 4-328, 4-329; see also Section 7.0) demonstrate that in Delaware Bay (rkm 64-97) during 1970 through 1980 year-class-strength underwent substantial fluctuations. Strong year classes were evident in 1970, 1975 and 1978. The peak in 1978, 413.8 fish/10 min tow, was approximately 44 times greater than the 1974 peak, 9.4 fish/10 min tow, the year of lowest peak density. Evidence of a strong year class may persist for a few subsequent years: peaks then appear to dampen over time. Although post-1980 river sampling was not comparable with this data set, the subsequent field and on-site impingement monitoring programs have not suggested any strong year classes since 1978.
- I I I I I I I 4-7 4.3 NATALITY AND RECRUITMENT
4.3.1 Reproduction
Rate Individual fecundity estimates are discussed in Section 3.1.5. Harmic (1958) estimated annual (1955-1957) egg production in Delaware Bay at 450 billion based on egg densities in plankton tows. This was during a period of relatively .low abundance and small average size of spawners (Section 4.1, 4.2, 3.7.3). Present study estimates of annual baywide production ranged from 1.5 El2 to 8.6 El2 for 1979 through 1982 (Table 3-5). 4.3.2 Factors Affecting Reproduction A variety of biotic and abiotic factors affect reproductive success of fish populations. Three of the most obvious biotic factors are abundance and of the parental population and survival rate of the young. These are in turn influenced by abiotic ones, such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, pollutants, and perhaps solar radiation and rainfall. For weakfish, there is a strong positive relationship between fish length and number of ova produced (Section Since length is related.to age, the age-class composition of the population will have some effect on the number of ova produced. weakfish eggs and larvae in the Delaware Bay are subject to the extreme and sudden changes in temperature, salinity and turbidity characteristic of Atlantic coast estuaries. Harmic (1958) considered 18-24°C optimal for maximum reproductive success, and opined that unseasonably warm or cold temperature during the spawning period affects egg and larval mortality by prolonging or speeding up development. through these vulnerable life stages. Although sudden increases or decreases in salinity may be lethal to eggs, data from the present study showed no relationship between the salinity at collection and percentage of live eggs (Section 3.2.2). Abundance of suitably-sized prey at the first-feeding stage was an important factor for survival of laboratory-reared larvae in the present study. Ware (1975) that older (larger) fish produce larger eggs which in turn produce larvae large enough to feed efficiently and survive. Smaller eggs produced later in the season by younger adults (see Section 3.1.6) may produce fewer succes3ful larvae.
- --.. -_ .. ; : ....... * ... . 4-8 The later spawn may be cannibalized by the first (Thomas, 1971: Daiber and Smith, 1971). Joseph (1972) hypothesized that chronic presence of pesticides may reduce spawning success. The combined effect of the above factors is local fluctuation in reproductive success. However, Merriner (1976) reasoned that the entire population would never undergo simultaneous coastwide spawning failure due to natural causes because of the protracted spawning season and broad geographical range of spawning grounds. 4.3.3 Recruitment A spawner-recruit model for weakfish within a given estuary has not been developed for lack, in part, of accurate population estimates of spawning adults. Seagraves (1982a) interpreted data from Delaware Bay trawl surveys conducted by the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife to indicate "poor recruitment of juveniles to adult populations for the past several years." Harmic (1958) stated that physicochemical fluctuations in the estuary approach levels detrimental to weakfish survival at that time. Merriher (1976) believed such fluctuations to be related to annual variation in recruitmentr Recruitment of weakfish adults to the northern extreme of the species range could be density dependent.
Perlmutter et al. (1956) reported that the northern (NY waters) fishery for weakfish was primarily dependent on southern-spawned stock and that northern abundance of the species would increase only as the southern stock built up to a greater density. Recruitment of 0+ fish to New York waters was inferred by Nesbit (1954), who concluded that local weakfish spawning intensity and success was not great enough to account for the presence of all 0+ weakfish he observed late in the season. Murawski (1977), using a Beverton-Holt yield-per-recruit analysis with the following population parameters: w = 4645.7g K = 0.270 TO = 0.074 yrs T = 0.25 yrs r T = 0.5, c 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 yrs
- 4-9 t = a.a: yrs M = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 F = 0.1 -1.0 tentatively concluded that under the harvest conditions, optimum exploitation rate was achieved.
He calculated that an increase in the age of first capture, t , from age 1 to 2 would result in a 29-32 percent increase iR Y/R at F , depending on the value of M. He concluded that are not particularly sensitive to the absolute value of the natural mortality coefficient. Mercer (1983), however, questioned the reliability of Murawski's results due to the doubtful of recreational landings data, gear bias, and lack of information on the natural mortality rate. 4.4 MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY
4.4.1 Mortality
The literature presents no estimates of natural mortality in the early life stages (i.e., egg through O+ young) of weakfish: mortality estimates for these stages were generated from present-study data. The egg mortality rate was estimated from present-study weakfish egg viability (for procedure see Appendix I). The following monthly average egg viability values were generated from plankton-net sampling in the Delaware River estuary between rkm 0-117 during 1979-1982: Mean Egg Viability (percent) June 1979 45.6 41.1 56.3 1980 50.4 47.4 70.4 1981 48.6 76.7 1982 68.3 58.9 57.5
- ..... ** 4-10 An average value of 51.47 percent was calculated as the arithmetic mean of the May and June values; only May and June were considered since about 79 percent of annual egg production occurs during these months. Assuming egg viability as an estimate of through-stage survival, the survival rate of 0.5147 equates to an instantaneous daily total mortality rate (Zd) of 0.33209 over two days. We obtained a mortality estimate for pro-and post larvae from the following relationships (Ricker, 1975; p. 60-61): dL/dt = K a (Log N)/dL = z I e where dL = change in length, mm dt = change in time, days* dN = change in number Therefore, d (Log N)/dt = -Z'K e and z = Z'K The value of Z' was estimated from length-frequency data for 1979-1982.
Inspection of this data suggested that only the size range of 2.3-4.3 mm TL was representatively sampled with the 0.5 m plankton net; therefore, analyses were limited to this range. Since the slopes among years (1979-1982) were not significantly different, the pooled slope of 1.33096 was considered the best estimate of Z' (Table 4-30). The growth rate coefficient, K, was developed from information presented in Section 3.7.3. Since the size range of interest, 2.3 through 4.3 mm TL, is not explicitly described by the available growth equations, a new function was developed by fitting a second degree polynomial through a presumed 1.8 mm at hatching (Harmic, 1958) and the observed means, 3.1 and 10.0 mm at day 7 and 20, respectively, from the present study laboratory data. The size-at-age function TL = 1.8 + 0.06495D + O.Ol725D 2 where D = age in days, yields the following first derivative which expresses the daily growth rate (GR): GR= 0.06495 + 0.03451D.
- 4-11 The sizes 2.3 and 4.3 mm c9rrespond to ages 3.9 and 10.3 days; integrating over this period yields an average growth rate of 0.31 mm/day. Therefore, the daily instantaneous total mortality rate, zd, is 0.4126. The mortality rate for age O+ juveniles was calculated from present-study, trawl density values employing the density methodology.
Examination of baywide (rkm 0-117) densities, by collection period, for the period 1979-1982 indicated that full recruitment to the sampling gear occurred during early to mid-August, and that emigration from the estuary may not be pronounced until after October. Therefore, the regression analysis was applied to the mean collection period densities from August through October. Since the slopes among years were not significantly different (Table 4-31), the pooled slope of 0.04115 was used as the best estimate of daily instantaneous total mortality for juveniles. Estimates of adult mortality have been reported *from many regions throughout the species range (Table 4-32). Merriner (1973) found that his 1967-1970 total annual mortality estimates derived from Hatteras, NC pound net and Morehead City, NC otter trawl catches were similar to literature values from the same region during 1934 as well as from Chesapeake Bay, New Jersey and New York data dating from the 1930's and l950's. Merriner reported annual total mortality rates (A) ranging from o*.48 to 0.73, depending on method of calculation. The comparable rates ranged from 0.59 to 0.81. Murawski (1977) compared age-specific instantaneous total mortality (Z) derived from 1976 New Jersey creel census data to rates derived from 1976 NMFS Atlantic fall trawl data for fish aged from l+ to 5+. Murawski's data indicated an increase in z from 0.353 to 0.658 for age l+ through 5+ fish taken in New Jersey. values of Z derived from the coastwide trawl data ranged from 0.523 for 4+ fish up to 0.752 for 5+ fish with no apparent relationship to age class (Table 4-32). Shepherd (1982) demonstrated a trend toward increasing total instantaneous mortality from north to south among adults sampled by trawl between Cape Cod (MA) and Cape Fear (NC) (Table 4-32). 4.4.2 Factors causing or Affecting Mortality Eggs and Larvae The effects of temperature, salinity, turbulence and egg size on hatching success are discussed in Sections 3.2 and 4.3.2. ware (1975) concluded that mortality of larvae decreased as size increased on the bases of decreased energy expenditure for food search as well as general locomotion \ 4-12 capability and decreased vulnerability to predation. Shepherd (1982) concluded that progeny of late spawners, being smaller through the larval stage that some-age siblings of the earlier cohort(s), experience higher mortality. Sudden reductions in salinity are known to increase egg and juvenile mortality (Harmic, 1958; Thomas, 1971); one might infer that larvae are similarly affected. Juveniles and Adults Density-related (biotic) factors such as cannibalism by adults and other juveniles as well as predator competition for estuarine food resources have been cited as a source of juvenile mortality in Delaware Bay (Daiber and Smith, 1971; Thomas, 1971). Abiotic factors* such as *sudden changes in salinity may also result in mortality. For example, early in the present study a sudden infusion of storm runoff rapidly depressed salinity in the Delaware River above rkm 94 was soon followed by a fish kill including juvenile weakfish (Thomas, 1971). Mercer (1983), citing a personal communication from John Poole, New York Department of Environmental Coriservation, reported numerous moribund weakfish from Peconic and Gardeners bays of New York. Although heavy copepod infestations were noted, the cause of the condition was unknown.
- Fishing is a considerable source of mortality (McHugh, 1977; 1979; 1981). The sport fishery almost exclusively affects adults. Commercial fishing often affects selected age groups of adults (see Selectivity, Section 5.4.2). However, the shrimp and scrap fisheries in the Carolinas and the fall bottom trawl fishery off Delaware Bay destroy vast quantities of juveniles (Wolff, 1972; Devries, 1981; Shepherd, 1982). Latitude is not a factor per se but various parameters combine to affect a clinal increase in mortality rates from north to south (Shepherd, 1982). 4.5 DYNAMICS OF POPULATION Shepherd (1982) described north to south trends in several population characteristics.
Growth in southern regions was initially more rapid than in northern areas but southern fish never achieved the ultimate size of northern fish . Additionally, life span was shorter, mortalities higher and egg production by individuals of a given size higher in * *

- 4-13 southern fish. He hypothesized that these characteristics were the result of natural selection of a reproductive strategy favorable for the particular location.
Selection in the southern portion of the range, a region of presumed greater environmental stability, would favor a strategy of maximizing annual fecundity at the expense of somatic growth.* In the northern portion of the range, with presumably a less predictable environment, it would be more advantageous to spread egg production over a longer period of time. Shepherd concluded that despite the latitudinal differences in somatic growth and annual fecundity, the life time fecundity of northern and southern fish was nearly identical. He conceded that the evaluation of the differential strategies is dependent on having reproductively isolated populations. As Mercer (1983) noted, the existence of genetically distinct populations of weakfish has not yet been established (see Section 1.3.1). 4.6 THE POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE ECOSYSTEM Most Atlantic estuaries are characterized by interaction between a resident community and a seasonally transient assemblage of species. Weakfish is one of the many seasonal occupants that use estuaries for feeding, spawning and/or nursery grounds during most productive time of year. EA (1976) found that 48 of the 108 species encountered in the Indian River (DE) estuary were seasonal migrants. Weinstein et al. (1980) theorized that transient species act as a trophic link for energy transfer from estuarine to marine ecosystems. Thomas (1971) compared the usage of the lower Delaware Estuary by six sciaenids: weakfish, silver perch, black drum, spot, northern kingfish, Atlantic croaker, and black drum. His information suggests that resources are partitioned by a combination of differential timing of entry, habitat, and diet. Young black drum entered the study area in early June, followed by weakfish in mid-June, northern kingfish in mid to late June, silver perch in late June, larger young spot in early July and Atlantic croaker in late October, generally after most other species had left. Young weakfish and Atlantic croaker were taken primarily in the River proper, whereas small black drum were found almost exclusively in the mid to upper portions of marsh creeks. Small silver perch and spot were collected in these tributary creeks as well as in the shore zones of the river. Weakfish consumed more fish than any of the other sciaenids in the study area while black drum were primarily benthic feeders. The diet of young silver perch was intermediate, containing a mixture of both benthic organisms 4-14 and fish. Spot fed upon small crustaceans and plant material while Atlantic croaker fed almost exclusively on copepods and Neomysis. The four northern kingfish examined contained mostly decapods. Chao and Musick (1977) reported similar mechanisms of resource sharing among juvenile sciaenids, including weakfish, spot, Atlantic croaker and silver perch in the York River estuary, VA. In the present study, weakfish associated most frequently with bay anchovy, hogchoker and spot in the Delaware River near Salem, NJ (Rohde and Schuler, 1974). Weakfish ranked second or third in abundance in baywide trawls conducted from 1979 through 1982 and comprised between 4.3 and 22.l percent of the annual catch (present study). Weakfish ranked fourth in combined trawl hauls in the C & D Canal during 1972-1975 (Bason et al., 1976), and ranked second to spot in June through August and fifth in annual catches in the Indian River (DE) estuary (EA, 1976t. Schuler (1971) reported that weakfish accounted for 30 percent of the total Salem (NJ) region trawl catch although the species was among the most restricted in period of occurrence. Relative abundance of weakfish in other estuarine systems is summarized in Table -.. --

SALEM 316(b) STUDY Figure 4-329 * - I 5-1 SECTION 5.0 EXPLOITATION The weakfish is a valuable component of the commercial and recreational fisheries along the Atlantic Coast. Over the past decade most of the commercial catch has been landed in the southern half of the species range (VA and NC) where, additionally, juveniles are exploited in a scrapfish fishery. In the northern half of the species range, where older and larger fish occur, it supports a large recreational fishery. The importance of the sport fishery has increased substantially over the past 20 years as anglers have had more leisure time and disposable income and coincident with the increased capture of larger fish. Weakfish are the mainstay of the modest Delaware Bay commercial f inf ishery and have been the major species in the recreational fishery. 5.1 FISHING EQUIPMENT 5.1.1 Gear Early fisheries (lSOO's) used haul seines, gill nets, fykes and pound nets (Earll, 1887; Perlmutter, 1959). Trawlers became an important factor in the coastal fishery during the 1920's and their importance has grown since. During the 1940's pound nets accounted for 63 percent of the coastwide weakfish catch followed by trawls (23 percent), haul seines (11 percent) and gill nets (3 percent) (Wilk, 1981). In the 1950's purse seine, pound net, drift gill net, and hand and troll line fisheries dwindled in importance and in some areas died out completely (Reintjes and Roithmayr, 1960). The use of high-speed pelagic trawls began in the mid 1970's especially off southern New Jersey and Delaware (Wilk, 1981). These and other type trawls accounted for 60 percent of the commercial catch during the 1970's, followed by pound nets (20 percent), haul seines (11 percent) and gill nets (9 percent) . Table 5-1 summarizes the percent contribution of various fishing gears in the mid-Atlantic region during the 1970's. Anglers catch weakfish while trolling, chumming and drifting, and by casting, live-bait fishing, jigging, and still fishing (Freeman and Walford, 1974a-d, 1976a-d). 5-2 5.1.2 Boats A variety of vessels are utilized within the food-fish industry, with each fishery (e.g., haul seine, gill net) requiring a boat designed to effectively fish the specific gear employed. Trawlers of less than 50 ft take many weakfish on one-day trips to nearshore areas (Reintjes and Roithmayer, 1960). Fewer are taken by the larger (50 to 100 ft) trawlers which fish farther offshore for several days at a time. soats userl in the recreational fishery range from 12-ft skiffs to charter and party boats as large as 125 ft and capable of carrying over 100 passengers. Falk et al. (1981) in a survey of boats, motors and specialized equipment used to catch weakfish in Delaware Bay tournament, found the typical boat to be about 20-ft long with an outboard motor of 80-200 horsepower.
5.2 FISHING
AREAS 5.2.l General Distribution The geographical center of the coastal population is between North Carolina and Chesapeake Bay (Perlmutter, 1959; McHugh, 1980). Most of the commercial catch is taken in Virginia and North Carolina, while most of the recreational catch occurs from Delaware to New York where older and larger fish congregate in late spring and summer (McHugh, 1980). 5.2.2 Geographic Ranges Weakfish are taken in commercial iisheries from Massachusetts to Florida. From 1930 through the 1950's the largest catches were in Virginia and New Jersey but in the 1960's and 1970's North Carolina took an increasing proportion of the catch and today contributes the greatest percentage among states. Mercer (1983) suggests this shift is probably related to increased mobility of the North Carolina fishing fleet rather than a change in weakfish distribution.
- 1 I
- 5-3 5.2.3 Depth Range During spring, summer and early fall when adult fish are inshore they are taken at water depths ranging from the surface to 5-6 fathoms (9-11 m) (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953). In winter months, weakfish migrate offshore of North Carolina and Virignia where Pearson (1932) reports them at depths of 10-30 fathoms (20-60 m). Bigelow and Schroeder (1953) report isolated winter catches in depths of 55 fat horns ( 100 m) . 5.2.4 Condition of the Grounds The ecological health of the coastal areas from Cape Hatteras, NC to Cape Cod, MA is critical to the maintenance of the weakfish stock (Section 4-2). These coastal waters, particularly those near the center of this range (i.e., New York Bight), have been affected by pollution from metropolitan and industrial centers, commercial shipping, and heavy sport and commercial fishing pressure (McHugh, 1977; Sindermann et al., 1982). Sindermann et al. (1982) noted that in the New York Bight toxic metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and petroleum hydrocarbons currently occur in concentrations that have been experimentally shown to be detrimental to the reproductive potential of fishery, including weakfish, stocks. However, measurement of these effects is difficult due to the effects of large environmental variations on the fisheries.
Joseph (1972) cites past widespread application of DDT for mosquito control in coastal wetlands as potentially contributing to the depression of coastal weakfish stocks during the 1950's and 1960's. Although Merriner (1973) considered Joseph's conclusion poorly founded, catches have increased since the use of DDT was restricted. On fishing grounds from North Carolina to New York increasing competition between commercial and recreational interests has led. to resource allocation problems. In *some areas gear restrictions have effectively partitioned fishing grounds into commercial and recreational areas. In Delaware Bay, weakfish is currently the most sought-after species in the recreational and commercial fisheries (R. Seagraves, DEDNR, pers. comm.). Recent (since 1980) declines in local sport catches are perceived by the sport fishing community and tourism industry to be primarily a consequence of commercial overexploitation (Lesser, 1982). McHugh (1977) emphasized that changes in species abundance cannot always be simply explained or easily managed. When a similar 5-4 conflict existed in the mid-1960's, the primary commercial gear, i.e., bottom trawl, was banned in the Bay (Seagraves, 198la). 5.3 FISHING SEASONS The seasonality of weakfish landings varies by region along the Atlantic coast and reflects availability of the species each area as governed by its migrational patterns (Section 3.8.1). Landings year-round are reported along the south Atlantic coast (Anderson and Gehringer, 1965; Merriner, 1973; Mahood, 1974). North of Chesapeake Bay the fishing season extends from April or May to November or December (Long and Figley, 1982; Seagraves and Rockland, 1983b). Mercer (1983) reported peak landings to occur in January in South Carolina, February in North Carolina, May or June and October from Virginia to New York and August in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The sport fishing season for weakfish also varies along the coast. Freeman and Walford (1974a-d, 1976a-d) report the following regional seasons: year-round in 5outhern Florida; March-December from Altamaha Sound, GA to Fort Pierce Inlet, FL; May-December from False Cape, VA to Georgia: May or June through October or early November from False Cape, VA to Block Island, MA. 5.4 FISHING OPERATIONS AND RESULTS 5.4.1 Effort and Intensity Estimates of the total coastwide commercial effort of the principal gears in which weakfish are captured are not readily available; however, regional effort levels suggest an initial increase and subsequent decline in effort over the past fifty years. Perlmutter (1959) reported that between 1930 and 1955 haul seine (yardage), gill net (yardage) and large otter trawl (number of vessels) effort within the mid-Atlantic region (New York to Virginia) increased nearly 400 percent. During World War II, there had been a temporary decrease in effort in all coastal fisheries. This was followed by a high post-war level of exploitation, especially from Virginia south, which Perlmutter et al. (1956) and Massman (1963a) speculated may have led to declining catches in the north. Joseph (1972) I I '*
- 5-5 reported the number of licensed haul seines and pound nets in Virginia declined markedly between the late 1940's and late 1960's and that this trend was not restricted to that area or those gears. Merriner (1973) stated that by the early 1970's licensed commercial gear in North Carolina declined to one-fourth the level earlier in the century. However, the increased capture efficiency resulting from post-World War II improvements in gear technology (e.g., synthetic net and rope materials), boat construction and electronics may have partially offset the reduction in total units of gear fished (Cole, 1978). Effort in commercial fisheries also varies seasonally, due to fish availability and market conditions (Sections 3.8.1 and 5.3). Godwin et al. (1971) reported that market conditions may result in decreased effort and weakfish landings in North Carolina, particularly when large catches occur in northern states. Commercial effort in Delaware, New Jersey and New York decreases during summer as landings increase in the recreational fishery and wholesale prices drop (Seagraves, 198lb; Shepherd, 1982; J. C. Poole, NYDEC, pers. comm.). McHugh (1981) detailed the history of Delaware commercial fisheries.
He reported that the number of licensed haul seines declined gradually from the peak around 1910 until the net stopped operating in 1971 (Fig. 5-1). Effort in the otter trawl fishery began in 1935, peaked in 1948 and trended erratically lower until the fishing ended in the mid 1960's when recreational fishermen identified and raised issue over an old law that prohibited trawling in the Bay (Fig. 5-2) (McHugh, 1981). The number of gill nets fell sharply to a low in the early l940's but has risen slowly since (Fig. 5-1). Similar statistics for the New Jersey commercial fisheries are unavailable. The limited coastwide effort data on the recreational fishery report the number of anglers seeking specifically weakfish as 180,000 in 1965, 400,000 in 1970 and 308,000 in 1979 (USNMFS, 1980; Wilk, 1981). Locally, the number of Delaware-based marine angler days more than tripled between 1960 and 1976 when it peaked at 826,000 man-days (Table 5-2) (Seagraves and Rockland, 1983b). Not all these efforts may have been directed at weakfish, but it is a primary sport fish in the Delaware Bay. Weakfish were the largest component of the recreational catch in the mid-1970's (Miller, 1980); the perceived decline in the species abundance was cited by Seagraves and Rockland (1983a) as responsible for the decrease in Delaware-based effort in 1982 to 515,000 days. Similar statistics and interpretation for the New Jersey-based fishery have not been reported
- 5-6 5.4.2 Selectivity The selectivity of otter trawl mesh size in capturing weakfish was examined by Daiber (1955b). He reported that a codend of 2-in stretch mesh permitted escapement of weakfish to 15 cm and a 3 in-mesh allowed fish to 23 cm to escape. Further, he found escapement of ages l+ and 2+ fish through 2-in mesh was less than ten percent and that escapement through 3-in mesh was 83 and 53 percent for ages l+ and 2+, respectively.
Austin (1979) proposed that a trawl codend mesh size of 76-83 mm (3-3.5 in) would retain maximum yield per recruit for weakfish (age 3, 330 mm TL). Meyer and Merriner (1976), investigating pound net selectivity characteristics as a function of pound-head mesh size, found weakfish retention length and percentage gilling increased with increased mesh size (Table 5-3). They concluded that the 51-mm stretched mesh commonly employed in the pound fishery of the lower Chesapeake Bay was a necessary compromise as a single gear for the five species of major importance in pound fishery scrap landings, i.e., Atlantic menhaden, butterfish, weakfish, spot and herring. Several investigators reported the minimum marketable size of weakfish as about 220 mm TL (Massman, l963a; Wolff, 1972; Sholar, 1979); Meyer and Merriner (1976) determined the desirable market siie is 305 mm TL. 5.4.3 Catches Weakfish have been exploited commercially since at least the 19th century (Hildebrand and Schroeder, 1928); however, continuous records of annual coastwide landings exist only for about the past fifty years. During the 1930 1 s landings ranged from 21 to 36 million pounds (9,525 to 16,329 metric tons), well above the SO-year average of ca. 15 million pounds (6,804 mt) (Table 5-4, Fig. 5-3). During World War II weakfish landings declined due largely to a reduction in fishing effort (Seagraves, 198la). Post-war catches increased to a record 41.4 million pounds (18,779 mt) in 1945, but then landings plummeted to 6.4 million pounds (2.903 mt) by 1950. Landings remained low for the next 20 years, averaging only 5.7 million pounds (2,585 mt). However, beginning in 1970 and continuing through the decade catches rose to a 10-year average of 17,290 million pounds (7,843 mt). The peak during this period was reached in 1981, when an estimated 35 million pounds (15,878 mt) were landed. Landings were 30 million pounds in 1982. * *
- 5-7 Regional catch per unit effort data are presented in Table 5-5. Delaware commercial landings of weakfish are presented in Table 5-4 and Figure 5-4; New Jersey landings are presented in Table 5-4 and Figure 5-5. New Jersey commercial landings generally follow the coastal trend as do Delaware landings with the notable exception during 1946-1966 when trawlers operated in Delaware Bay. The peak in Delaware landings during 1955-1957 coincided with below average coastwide landings.
Low catches in the late 1960's were influenced by legislative action in 1966 which banned trawling in the Bay. In the early 1970's landings, reflecting gill net catches, rebounded strongly; Seagraves (198la) construed this as a good indication of increased weakfish abundance. This inferred population increase is consistent with McHugh's (1979) observation of "a substantial recovery" in the population throughout the Mid-Atlantic Bight. Delaware landings leveled off in the mid 1970's but more than tripled between 1978 and 1981. The relative contributions to the post-1978 increase by fish numbers and size, increase in effort, and improved methodologies in catch estimation is unknown. Smith (1980) and Seagraves (198la,b) each describe a trend toward fewer but much larger fish compared to the mid 1960's. McHugh (1981) reported increased effort in the early 1970's but more recent data are not available. Seagraves (198lb) believed that much of the apparent 88 percent increase in reported 1980 landings was really not an increase in landings, but, rather, a realistic estimate based on improved techniques. The Delaware commercial (gill net only) weakfish landings during 1980-1982 had dockside values of $237,060, 462,748 and 757,240, respectively. The 1982 landings had an estimated total economic impact of about $2.2 million (Seagraves and Rockland, 1983b). This includes $0.8 million for 88 jobs attributed to harvest and sale and $1.3 million in value added from the sale of weakfish at the retail level. New Jersey weakfish landings during 1975-1979 had a dockside value ranging from $504,468-901,979. The economic impact of the fishery may total $2-3 million annually, assuming that the economic structure in the New Jersey Eish industry is similar to that in Delaware. The recreational catch of weakfish has grown substantially since 1950, the year that national angling surveys were begun; these surveys have been conducted at about five-year intervals. The catch of weakfish was reported as 3.8 (1,700 mt), 2.3 (l,000 mt), 15.7 (7,100 mt), 22.3 (10,100 mt), and 11.0 (5,000 mt) million pounds during 1960, 1965, 1970, 1974-75, and 1979, respectively (Clark, 1962; Deuel and Clark, 1968; Deuel, 1973; Wilk, 1981). Catch per unit effort (in number and weight) increased from 1965 to 1970 (Wilk, 1979). 5-8 Thereafter, number landed per angler declined while weight landed per angler remained fairly constant due to an increase in average weight per fish (Seagraves, l98la). McHugh (1980) noted that the increased recreational catches* have counter-balanced the decline in commercial landings and felt that the total landings during the 1970's were of such magnitude that the species may be more abundant then than ever before in recorded history. The Delaware DNR has periodically surveyed the state's marine recreational fishery (Daiber, 1956a; Lesser, 1968; Martin, 1973; Miller, 1978, 1980; Seagraves, 198lc). Weakfish have comprised from ca. 4.4 to 54.4 percent of the total annual catch (Table 5-2). Landings have ranged from ca. 24,000 fish in 1960 to ca. 2.3 million fish in 1976; catch per angler-day ranged from 0.1 in 1960 to 2.8 in 1976. In 1982 the estimated 114,178 weakfish landed comprised 15.1 percent of the total sport catch; catch rate was 0.2 per angler-day. Seagraves and Rockland (1983a) estimated the economic impact of the 1982 sport fishery as over $12.8 million. Similar statistics are unavailable for New Jersey; however, an estimated 1,372,000 weakfish were caught during 1979 by New Jersey-based fisherman (USNMFS, 1980). Figley and McClain (1981) calculated that the total participation in the two-month spring weakfish fishery in the Delaware Bay during 1980 generated approximately $4.9 million in anglers expenditures in New Jersey. * *

- 6-1 SECTION 6.0 ENTRAINMENT
6.1 DENSITY
IN INTAKE WATER Number of entrained organisms may be estimated through two different methods: as calculated directly from on-site entrainment abundance samples or as assumed to be the same as in the river near Artificial Island based on the river sampling programs. On-site Entrainment Abundance Estimates From 1977 through 1982 there were, respectively, 2, 14, 8, 37, 38 and 46 sampling periods each year (Tables 6-1 through 6-3, Figs. 6-1 through 6-18). Sampling during 1977 through 1979 was by Salem's operating schedule and other constraints, reducing the potential for collection of entrainable life stages. Effective June l,* 1980, collections were taken on ca. 4-day intervals and these data are a better indicator of changes in density (Tables 6-1 through 6-3). Eggs, larvae and 0+ young (juveniles) were collected during the study. Eggs From 1977-82 weakfish eggs were collected on 18 occasions (Table 6-1; Figs. 6-1 through 6-6); they were taken each year except 1977 when sampling was done only late in the year and past the expected and observed period of occurrence. In 1978 eggs were collected only on July 12-13. Date of first collection ranged from May 23-24 in 1981 to July 10-11 in 1982. Date of last occurrence ranged from July 19-20 in 1979 to August in 1982. Annual peak densities 3 ranged from 0.2/lOOm on July 12-13, 1978 to 19.5/lOOm on July 10-11, 1982. Larvae Weakfish larvae were collected in all years except 1977 (Table 6-2; Figs. 6-7 through 6-12). Annual collection during 1980 and 1982 was between late May and mid-June. In 1978, 1979 and 1981 plant outages occurred and no samples were taken 6-2 during these periods. Last occurrence in entrainment samples was between July 25-26, in 1981, and Septembe5 4-5, in 1982. Annual peak densiti3s ranged from 15.4/lOOm on July 19-20, 1979 to 70.0/lOOm on July 8-9, 1980. In each year, larvae were collected between June 28-29 and July 25-26. Age 0+ Young Age 0+ weakfish occurred in entrainment samples every year from 1977 through 1982 (Table 6-3; Figs. 6-13 through 6-18). Date of first occurrence ranged from June 6-7 (1979, 1980) to July 12-13 (1981). Last occurrence ranged from August 22-23 (1979) to November 1 (1978). Peak densities usually occu3red in late June; the highest density of 114.7 per lOOm on June 28-29, 1978. Densities peaked as early as June 6-7 (1979) and as late as July 20-21 (1981). Length-frequency of entrained weakfish The length-frequency distributions of weakfish (all life stages) entrained during 1977 through 1982 are listed by week in Table 6-4. A total of 1,694 specimens were measured and total length (TL) ranged from 2.0 mm to 118.0 mm. Me6ian length generally fluctuated erratically between sampling periods (Table 6-5) probably reflecting pulses in spawning (Section 3.1.6). River Sampling Program Estimates One-half meter plankton net collections were taken during 1981 and 1982 at a single location (W-101) immediately adjacent to the Salem CWS as part of the W-factor program (Appendix I; Section 5.3.3). Sampling at W-101 was specifically designed to produce alternative estimates of intake density during the historical period of primary abundance; therefore, samples were taken from June through early August. Weakfish eggs were taken only on one date in 1981 and two dates in 1982; 2uring these 3 dates density of eggs ranged from 0.002/lOOm -0.024/lOOm . I .I I I I * *
- 6-3 Larvae (1.8-10.5 mm TL) were taken during all 24 hr sampling periods from June 23 through August 4-5 in 1981 and June 8-9 through July 20-21 in 1982. Density of larvae was greater at night than during daylight during all but two collection periods 6-6). During daylight it ran§ed from 0.003/lOOm (August 4-5, 1981) to 0.188/lOOm 15-16, 1981); during darkness it ranged 0.000/lOOm (July 6 and August 4-5, 1981) to 0.073/lOOm (July 15-16, 1981). Comparison of length-frequencies of entrainable-size juvenile weakfish collected by 0.5-meter plankton net and fisheries gear (4.9-meter trawl and pelagic frame net) (Figs. 6-19 through 6-59) indicates that individuals of this juvenile size class are more vulnerable to the fisheries gear than to the 0.5-meter plankton net. Therefore, estimates of density for these individuals based on W-factor fisheries data collected at W-101 are more representative than those based on plankton data. Based on 1981-1982 factor fisheries data, density of 30 mm (TL) weakfish, the approximate me6ian size component those typically ranged from ca. 0.01/lOOm
-0.50/lOOm during June through September . Comparison of On-site and W-101 Density To determine the relative suitability of larval estimates, a comparison of data with regard to absolute magnitude of abundance was made. Data from matching on-site entrainment abundance and W-101 collection periods during 1981 and 1982 were used in the comparison. Collection periods were considered matching if they occurred within one day of each other. If a W-101 collection period occurred equally between two entrainment dates, an average of the entrainment data was used. Density estimates from other field programs (e.g., baywide and ETS programs) were not used because they lacked samples at night and general concurrence with entrainment collections. Additionally, the areas sampled were relatively large and numbers of samples too small to be representative of intake density considering the relatively small zone of influence (ca. 50-150 ft; Weston, 1982). Density estimates of weakfish larvae at both locations during daylight and darkness in 1981 and 1982 (Table 6-6) were compared using a paired t-test. The analysis indicated that larval densities in the river samples were significantly greater than in the entrainment samples at a = 0.05 (t = 2.10; df = 21) but not at a= 0.01; densities were higher for 16 of 22 comparisons. Comparison of the frequency distributions of entrained vs river (W-101) specimens on four dates in 1981 (Fig. 6-60) and 1982 (Fig. 6-61) indicates no consistent differences between distributions. 6-4 6.2 SURVIVAL The probability of weakfish larvae and 0+ young surviving entrainment at Salem station was assessed in 1) on-site studies using intake ,and discharge samples collecteo by pump with both a larval table and low velocity flume (Appendix I), and 2) experimentally. Larvae and O+ young were collected in entrainment survival samples but eggs could not be detected because of their small size and transparency and the often heavy detrital loads in the source water. Simulated entrainment studies were conducted under controlled laboratorv conditions. Six series of tests with prolarvae, 46 with postlarvae, two with transitional specimens between postlarval and young stages, and 14 with O+ young were conducted. The effects of decompression during the rapid transfer of organisms from lower levels of the intake bay into the circulating pump housing were incorporated in 6 series of tests with postlarvae and two with young. On-Site Studies On-site studies were done in 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1982. Collections were made at ambient temperatures of 17.5 to 30.0°C and discharge temperatures of 22.0 to 39.5°C (Tables 6-7, 6-8). Data prior to July 1980 are based on holding periods of less than 96 hr and, although tabulated, are not included in analysis. Analysis considers only data generatea in July 1980 through 1982 under the 96 hr conditions. Where sample size was adequate effects of temperature were evaluated. Larvae Weakfish prolarvae were not collected in on-site entrainment survival Postlarvae were taken in 16 collection periods during 1980-1982. Because of limited and/or unpaired (intake vs discharge) data during several months of 1980-1982, monthly data were pooled across years, resulting in a total sample of 42 intake and 74 discharge-collected specimens. Overlapping confidence intervals among years for a given month, and annually similar environmental conditions, indicated that this pooling was justified.

- 6-5 Most mortality occurred during the initial 12 hrs after capture although some continued through 72 hrs for discharge specimens (Fig. 6-62, 6-63). During June, July and August estimated discharge survival based on specimens held for 96 hrs was 15.8 percent (n = 44), 9.7 percent (n = 34) and 60.0 percent (n = 8), respectively; no specimens were collected in discharge samples in September.
Cumulative 96 survival at intake and discharge based 6n a pooled sample of all 1980-1932 data is 33.3 + 14.3 percent and 14.9 + 8.1 percent, respectively (Table 6-9). Applying the used estimator based on Abbot (1925) (Appendix I) yields a plant induced mortality of 0.5526. Sample size was small to reflect the effect of discharge temperature on mortality. Age 0+ Young The 96-hr holding criterion restricted analysis to 93 fish collected in 1981 from 27 paired intake-dischargP-samples and 247 fish taken in 1982 in 61 paired intake-discharge samples (Table 6-8). The profiles of cumulative survival of 0+ young at the intake and discharge through 96 hr during 1981 (Figs. 6-64 and 6-65) and 1982 (Figs. 6-66 and 6-67) are markedly different. During 1981 survival in discharge samples decreased to 77 percent at +l hr (initial observation after entrainment) and then progressively decreased to ca. 27 percent at +48 hrs where it remained through +96 hrs (Table 6-10; Fig. 6-65). During 1982, survival in discharge samples decreased to 48 percent at +l hr and then decreased progressively to 12 percent at +96 hrs (Fig. 6-67). This difference in profiles is probably . related to differences in thermal exposures and to sample collection procedural differences between years (see Appendix I). The lower intake (control) sample survival during 1982 as compared with 1981 survival samples suggests a higher sampling-induced mortality during 1982. The relationship between discharge temperature and in discharge samples during 1981-1982 is presented in Figure 6-63. Because of limited and/or unpaired (intake vs discharge) data during several months of late 1980-1982, monthly survival data were pooled across years. During June, July, August and September estimated discharge survival was 14.6 percent (n = 103), 18.3 percent (n = 60), 16.2 percent (n = 37) and 30.6 percent (n = 36), respectively. Total 96-hr survival in intake and discharge samples based on a pooled monthly sample is 37.5 percent (n = 136) and 18.2 percent (n = 236). Applying the commonly used estimator based on Abbot (1925) yields a plant-induced mortality of 0.5141. 6-6 Simulated Entrainment Studies During 1978 through 1982 weakfish were tested at five different pressure-time regimens using the apparatus and procedures described in Appendix I. These studies simulated the time, temperature and pressure components of entrainment; they did not include chemical or the complete degree of mechanical injury that would be experienced by an entrained organism. During 1978 the testing was conducted at the pressure-time conditions described in Table 6-11, during 1979-1981 at those described in Table 6-12, and during 1982 at those described in Tables 6-13 through 6-15. Design temperature increases (delta T) were 10.0 and 15.0°C in 1978, 10.0 and 18.0°C in 1979-1981; 10.0, 12.0 and 15.0°C in 1982; actual experimental delta T, which were generally within + l.0°C of design values, are listed in Tables 6-16 through-6-18. Tests were conducted with holding periods of 24, 48 and 96 hr duration (Tables 6-16 through 6-18). Data from tests with holding periods of 24 hr (Table 6-16) \;ere not analyzed since these data did not reflect the full range of latent mortality observed in tests conducted through 48 hrs and longer. Summary data for 96 hr tests (Tables 6-19, 6-20) are discussed below by lifestage. Since analysis indicated no significant (p < 0.05) difference in survival between 48 and 96 hr, these data were pooled (Table 6-21, 6-22). Bxperimental-design differences during 1978 through 1982 (Tables 6-11 through 6-iS) dictated separate pooling of 1978 (Table 6-21) and 1979 through 1981 (Table 6-22) data. In general, the simulated entrainment tests indicate minimal effects on survival from pressure and from differences in exposure-durations tested, and that mortality increases directly with temperature. Pro larvae A total of 827 specimens were tested (Table 6-21, 6-22). Plots (Figs. 6-69, 6-70) of percent mortality at various combinations of delta T from 8.7-18.0°C, acclimation temperature from 10.0-23.0°C and exposure Juration of 6.5 and 9.7 minutes) and differential pressure indicate that within the ranges tested mortality of weakfish larvae was generally < 50 percent at water temperature below ca. 35 to 37°C. Greges and Schubel (1979) and Smith et al. (1979) found mortality increased with delta T in prolarvae acclimated to 22.5°C. They reported an average mortality of 16 percent at the end of exposures ranging to 15 min at I I *
- I. ' '
- 6-7 delta T of ll.2°C: they further reported that mortality was not affected by increases in exposure time up to 180 minutes at delta T < 8.4°C. Post larvae A total of 5,976 postlarvae were tested (Tables 6-19 through 6-22). Plots (Figs. 6-71 through 6-73) of percent mortality at various combinations of delta T from 9.0 to ll.5°C, acclimation temperature of 10.5 to 20.0°C and exposure duration of 6.5 and 9.7 min and differential pressure indicate that, within the ranges tested, mortality was generally
< 50 percent at water temperature below ca. 34-360C. Postlarvae appear tolerant to delta T as high as ll°C at acclimation temperatures < 20°C: > 50 percent mortality generally resulted wh2n exposure temperatures exceeded 36°C. Similar mortality was observed in tests which included effects of decompression (Figs. 6-74 and 6-75). Post larvae/Young A total of 136 specimens in the transitional phase between postlarvae and young were tested (Table 6-21). There was no mortality in tests conducted at ambient temperature of 19.0°C, exposure duration of 9.7 minutes, the pressure regimen described in Table 6-11, and delta T ranging from l.7-14.7°C. There was 10.6-14.6 percent mortality in tests conducted at the same ambient temperature and exposure duration but ae delta T of 10.7-14.0°C and at atmospheric pressure (Table 6-17). The reason for the apparent inverse relationship of mortality with pressure indicated by these latter tests is not known but may be an anomalous result related to treatment handling. Age 0+ Young A total of 808 specimens were tested (Tables 6-19 and 6-21, 6-22). Plots (Figs. 6-76 through 6-78) of percent mortality at various combinations of delta T from 9.0 to 20.0°C, acclimation temperature of 19.0 to 30.0°C, and exposure duration of 6.5-9.7 minutes) and differential pressure indicate that within these rangei mortality of weakfish young was generally < 50 percent at water temperature less than ca. 35-36°C. these tests, and in the few which l 6-8 include effects of rapid decompression (Table 6-17; Fig. 6-79) 100 percent mortality occurred at exposure temperature > ca. 38°C. *

- 100 100 I 30.0 ()'\ I ...... w \0 I I '* I 7.1 7-1 SECTION 7.0 IMPINGEMENT DENSITY IN INTAKE WATER Weakfish are susceptible to impingement at Salem primarily from mid-June through October, with peaks typically during late June-August.
Daily estimates of density, as number of fish per million cubic meters (l.OE6m ) of intake water, calculated using a double-exponentially-weighted 7-day moving average process (Appendix I) applied to the individual observations. During the period 1977 through 1982 maximum daily density occurred on July 6, June 29, July 5, August 15, August 11 and August 26, with maximum values 5anging from 4,620.l/10.E6m in 1982 to 89,858.0/l.OE6m in 1978 (Table 7-1). In all years expect 1978 the occurrence of weakfish at Salem was characterized by generally fluctuating densities and no distinctive period of peak abundance (Figs. 7-1 through 7-6). During 1978 a extremely strong O+ year-class was noted baywide (Section 4.2.4), and a period of relatively high abundance existed from late June through mid-July. Monthly average density was calculated as the simple arithmetic mean of all observations within that month {Table 7-2; Fig. 7-7). Densities were relatively in July or August; the highest was 23,021.1 per l.OE6m in July 1978. Individual impingement sample rates were reflected against patterns of time, tide, salinity and light-dark periods within five-day intervals during periods of high impingement (Figs. 7-8 through 7-17). There was no apparent relationship between impingement rate and time or salinity; however, a pattern of increased impingement rate during ebbing tide is readily apparent. 7.2 AGE-CLASS COMPOSITION Impinged specimens were not aged directly; age composition was inferred from the impingement sample length-frequency distribution (Figs. 7-18 through 7-23) and the known age relationship. Size-at-age was interpolated from growth information presented in Section 3.7.3, i.e., 0.2 mm/day for 7 days after hatching, 1.1 mm/day through September, 0.3 mm/day through October, followed by 0.0 mm/day into the spring. Expected distribution around each monthly mean size was approximated from the standard deviations reported by 7-2 Seagraves (198la) and reproduced in Tables 3-13 and 3-15. Of the 70,910 impinged weakfish measured during 1977-1982, all but 34 were likely age 0+ (Table 7-3). 7.3 COLLECTION EFFICIENCY Collection efficiency tests were performed on weakfish 31-100 mm FL (Table 7-4); for procedures see Appendix I. Mean collection efficiency (excluding size intervals with only single specimens) ranged from 40.5 percent for fish 31-35 mm FL to 96.5 percent for fish 96-100 mm FL, and generally increased with specimen length (Fig. 7-24*). Probit regression analysis of collection efficiency tests for. resulted in a median recovery length of 34.8 mm FL (R = 0.8214), a value very similar to the combined-species (measured in fork length) value of 32.3 mm FL. 7.5 SURVIVAL Weakfish taken in impingement survival during 1977 through 1982 were classified as either live, dead or damaged (see PSE&G, 1980 for classification criteria). The number of individuals in each of the three categories, by month and year, is summarized by age group in Table 7-5. Most specimens were to the river; however, some 3,800 live and/or damaged specimens were held for a 96-hr latent mortality study; for procedures see in Appendix I. Initial Mortality Initial mortality (MI), i.e., the proportion of weakfish killed immediately by the impingement process, is calculated as: MI = Dd/(L + Dm + Dd) where L = number live Dm = number damaged Dd = number dead *
- 7-3 Of the total 66,092 age 0+ young examined and measured, 46,337 were classified as live, 16,085 dead and 3,670 damaged (Table 7-5). The average mortality rate was 24.3 percent, with the mean monthly rate ranging from 10.0 percent in December to 37.4 percent in June and generally declining from June through December.
Of the total 25 age l+ weakfish examined and measured, 7 were classified as live, 11 dead and 7 damaged with an average mortality of 44.0 percent (Table 7-5). Monthly mortality rates of age l+ fish could not be calculated because of the small sample size. Since a number of factors are known to influence initial mortality, further analyses were conducted. Monthly mean length (TL mm), water 3 temperature (°C), salinity (ppt), detrital load (g/lOOm intake water), number of circulating pumps in service and approximate fish age in months (Table 7-6) were entered as independent variables into a step-wise multiple regression. Only observations with ten or more fish were used and the initial mortality values (MI) were transformed to logits. Of the six variables, only age was significant (p < 0.05); it explained 57.l percent of the total variance (Table 7-7). Mortality decreased with increasing age. The final equation was: where logit MI = ( R2 = -0.163 0.283A 0.571; n = 33; p < 0.05) A = age of fish in months. Latent Mortality An estimate of latent mortality was obtained by holding impinge0 and non-impinged (controls) weakfish through 96-hr periods; for procedures see .Appendix I. During 1978-1982, 601 test groups with 3,819 impinged weakfish and 93 control groups (833 fish) were held at ambient water temperatures from 5.'.:* to 30.0°C *and salinities from 3.5 to 15.5 ppt (Table 7-8). Test groups included 525 with 3,159 fish initially classified as live, and 76 with 660 fish initially classified as damaged. Control specimens were collected by beach seine. Cumulative percentage survival to 96 hr was determined by month for control, live and damaged specimens (Tables 7-9 through 7-11) using Survival Analysis (Appendix I) and the 7-4 results were plotted (with 95% confidence intervals) at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hr (Figs. 7-25 through 7-45). Cumulative 96-hr survival (+ 95% C.I.) for all control fish was 88.9 + 2.1 percent (Table 7-9; Fig. 7-25); in months with> 10 specimens tested, it ranged from 71.3 + 7.5 percent in September (Fig. 7-29) to 100 percent in June (Fig. 7-26) and October (Fig. 7-30). Monthly data summarized for the period 1978-1982 indicate control survival was generally highest in June and October and lowest in September (Fig. 7-46). Cumulative 96-hr survival (95% C.I.) for all live-category fish was 62.4 + 1.7 percent (Table 7-10; Fig. 7-31); in months > 10 specimens tested, it ranged from 43.7 + 10.9 percent-in October (Fig. 7-36) to 72.6 + 8.2 percent in June (Fig. 7-32); intermediate levels were + 2.7 percent in July (Fig. 7-33), 57.8 + 2.8 percent in August (Fig. 7-34), and 66.6 + 3.8 percent in September (Fig. 7-35). Monthly data summarized for the period 1978-1982 indicate that survival was highest in June, generally decreased through the summer and was lowest in October (Fig. 7-47). Cumulative 96-hr survival (+ 95% C.I.) for all category fish was 21.9 + 3.2 percent (Table 7-11; Fig. 7-38). The cumulative 96=hr survival for damaged-category fish ranged from in December (Fig. 7-45) to 26.6 + 8.9 percent in September (Fig. 7-42). Data summarized for-the period 1978-1982 indicate that survival of this category was high during the summer and generally decreased through fall (Fig. 7-48). Since a number of factors are known to influence latent mortality, further analyses were conducted. Temperature (°C), salinity (ppt), number of circulating pumps in service, number of traveling screens in service and mean total length (mm) of specimens being tested (Table 7-12) were independent variables in a step-wise regression analysis. Only observations with 10 or more fish were used, and the latent mortality values (M ) were transformed to legits. Only temperature, the num8er of screens in service, and the number of pumps in service were significant (p < 0.05) for live-category fish. However, together they -accounted for only about 11 percent of the variability. For damaged-category fish, only salinity and the number of pumps in service were significant (p < 0.05), together accounting for about 21 percent of the varTability. Loss of equilibrium (LOE) is a condition seen in some damaged-category impinged species. However, only 9 of the 3,819 weakfish tested were LOE at the 96-hr observation, and LOE related mortality is apparently not a significant factor among impinged weakfish. .I I I l * *
- 7-5 Total Mortality Total mortality (M), i.e., the proportion of all individuals which are killed initially (MI) or die within 96 hr is calculated as: MT = l -(l -MI) * (1 -MWL). Monthly total mortality ranged from 47.3 percent in September to 65.5 percent in October for 0+ fish and 71.2 percent in July to 78.3 percent in June for l+ fish (Table 7-13) .
