Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Technical Report Series Managing Editor: Michael P. Armstrong Technical Editor: Elaine Brewer

The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Technical Reports present information and data pertinent to the management, biology and commercial and recreational fisheries of anadromous, estuarine, and marine organisms of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and adjacent waters. The series presents information in a timely fashion that is of limited scope or is useful to a smaller, specific audience and therefore may not be appropriate for national or international journals. Included in this series are data summaries, reports of monitoring programs, and results of studies that are directed at specific management problems.

All Reports in the series are available for download in PDF format at: http://www.mass.gov/marinefisheries/publications/technical.htm or hard copies may be obtained from the Annisquam River Marine Fisheries Station, 30 Emerson Ave., Gloucester, MA 01930 USA (978-282-0308).

Introduction fulfillment of the BBDS designation process, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone (DMF) and CZM conducted a 13-month Management (CZM) initiated the formal fisheries trawl survey (March 2001-March designation of the Buzzards Bay Disposal Site 2002) to characterize nekton occurrence, (BBDS) as an open ocean dredged material distribution, and relative abundance in the disposal site as part of the Dredged Material historical BBDS.

The new ecologists and volunteers conducted the designation would allow for disposal of fine- fisheries trawl survey aboard a contracted grained and coarse-grained sediments commercial trawler (F/V Lady Jane).

Two candidate disposal sites were identified by the Science Application International Corporation (SAIC) through two bathymetry surveys conducted in May 1998 and October 2000 (SAIC 2001A). Site 1 is a 1600m x 1600m basin south of the Cleveland Ledge Disposal Site (CLDS). Site 2 is a 1000m x 1700m basin east of the CLDS. Both sites are in environments that appear depositional and were selected for their potential to contain disposed material. Results from the BBDS fisheries trawl survey will assist in determining the most suitable disposal site that will have the least environmental impact on the existing benthic habitat and associated marine resources. The primary objective of the fisheries trawl survey was to characterize nekton occurrence, distribution, and relative abundance in the environs of the historical Buzzards Bay Disposal Site. The secondary objective was to collect geographic and hydrographic data for each tow.

Methods and Materials

Study Area The study area was in eastern Buzzards Bay, surrounding the historic Cleveland Ledge (CLDS) and Buzzards Bay Disposal Site (BBDS) (Figure 1). Buzzards Bay is a coastal embayment located in southeastern Massachusetts, approximately 48km long and Figure 2.

Data Analysis in September 2001. Surface salinities ranged from 26.6ppt in April 2001 to 31.9ppt in July Catch-per-unit-effort was calculated by 2001 and bottom salinities ranged from 23.3ppt number and weight for all species and all in June 2001 to 32.2ppt in July 2001. Surface stations combined to look at seasonal relative dissolved oxygen levels ranged from 6.1mg/l in abundance of fishes, and for each station all July 2001 to 19.8mg/l in February 2002 and species combined to look at catch differences bottom dissolved oxygen levels ranged from between stations. Descriptive statistics (means 4.7mg/l in August 2001 to 19.1mg/l in and 95% confidence limits) were applied to February 2002. Little stratification was summarize hydrographic and catch data. A observed due to the relatively shallow depths length-frequency analysis was applied to scup, of our sampling stations (12.5-18.3meters). butterfish, and squid - the top three numerically dominant species - to show seasonal size distribution.
