    Merrymeeting Bay Current Study- Read This First Please Intro In order to run our drifter animations download Adobe Flash Player from the animation folder on our web site if your computer doesn’t already have it. Once installed, you can play any of the animations. Six drifter deployments from 2005 [low-flow] and 2006 [medium flow] have been completely animated as have animations from two high flow deployments in 2008. Deployments are posted in two speeds, one slower [Chops-60 frames/sec] than the other [system-wide-90 frames/sec]. Also posted are two jpeg LANDSAT images showing extent of ground-truthing deployments done in 2006 on each river at medium flows and an animation of ground-truthing deployments at high flows in 2008 [see dedicated ground-truthing section with links]. Animation Controls Control buttons for the animation are from left to right: 1. Reset, 2. Fast Rewind, 3. Stop, 4. Play, 5. Fast Forward. You can zoom in or out on a section of the image with the slider at lower left or zoom in drawing a rectangle with your cursor. Maximizing the image with the middle tab at upper right will give best results. Drifters can be checked on or off individually in the table. Clicking a left column check box either for hourly deployment or river, will short-cut clicking on or off that entire row of drifters. New for 2007 is an auto-zoom feature retrofitted to all previous deployments. The auto zoom will follow active drifters. As drifters stop, they will no longer be tracked by this feature.

  • Research Reference Document 99/07 : Kennebec River
    Kennebec River Shortnose Sturgeon Population Study August - December 1999 By Thomas S. Squiers, Jr. Maine Dept, of Marine Resources Research Reference Document: 99/7 Use of these data for publication will be granted when proper acknowledgment is assured. KENNEBEC RIVER SHORTNOSE STURGEON POPULA TION STUDY August, 1998 - December, 1999 - Graphics from NMFS/ NE Fisheries Science Center NMFS Contract 40EANF800053 Prepared by: Thomas S. Squiers Jr. Maine Department of Marine Resources May 25, 2000 INTRODUCTION Shortnose sturgeon occur in the estuarine complex of the Sheepscot, Kennebec, and Andro­ scoggin Rivers. The Kennebec and Androscoggin Rivers flow into Merrymeeting Bay, a large tidai/freshwater bay that also receives inflow from several smaller drainages, i.e., the Eastern, Cathance, Abagadaset, and Muddy Rivers. The combined river systems exit Merrymeeting Bay through a narrow channel and flow approximately 20 miles to the Atlantic Ocean. The lower tidal segment is known as the "Kennebec River" and interconnects with the Sheepscot River by means of the tidal Sasanoa River and several bays. This entire estuarine complex will be re­ ferred to as the "Kennebec River" for the remainder of the report; it supports the largest popu­ lation of shortnose sturgeon in the United States north of the Hudson River. The Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) has conducted studies in the past to deter­ mine the distribution and abundance of shortnose sturgeon in the estuarine complex of the Kennebec, Androscoggin and Sheepscot Rivers (Squiers and Smith, 1979; Squiers et al, 1982). Additional studies were conducted to determine the timing of the spawning run and locations of spawning areas in the tidal section of the Androscoggin River (Squiers, 1982; Squiers, 1983; Squiers et al, 1993).
