Darling Marine Center, School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, Walpole, ME 04573, USA Received 3 November 1998; received in revised form 30 April 1999; accepted 5 May 1999 Abstract Three decapod species in the Gulf of Maine (American lobster Homarus americanus Milne Edwards, 1837, rock crab Cancer irroratus Say, 1817, and Jonah crab Cancer borealis Stimpson, 1859) were investigated to determine how their patterns of settlement and post-settlement abundance varied at different spatial and temporal scales. Spatial scales ranged from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Abundances of newly settled and older (sum of several cohorts) individuals were measured at different substrata, depths, sites within and among widely spaced regions, and along estuarine gradients. Temporal scales ranged from weekly censuses of new settlers within a season to inter-annual comparisons of settlement strengths. Over the scales considered here, only lobsters and rock crabs were consistently abundant in their early post- settlement stages. Compared to rock crabs, lobsters settled at lower densities but in speci®c habitats and over a narrower range of conditions. The abundance and distribution of older individuals of both species were, however, similar at all scales. This is consistent with previous observations that, by virtue of high fecundity, rock crabs have high rates of settlement, but do not discriminate among habitats, and suffer high levels of post-settlement mortality relative to lobsters.

All these tribes spoke substantially the same language. The greatest difference in dialect being between the Etehimin and the others. The Etehimin formed a sub group which included the Halecite and tee Passamaquoddy, The Abnaki customs and beliefs are closely related to the hicrnac, and their ethnic relations arc with the tribes north of the St. Lawrence. The Abnaki village w;.m. situated near the mouth of the Penobscot River. From 1604, when Champlain went up that river to toe vicinity of the present Bangor the Abnaki were an important factor in the history of Paine. They occupied the region between the St. Johns River and the Saco River until their withdrawal to Canada. Through the influence of the French missionaries the Abnaki formed a close attachment for the French, and with them carried on an almost constant war with the English until the fall of the French power in America. Gradually the Abnaki withdrew to Canada, and settled at St. Francis, near Pierreville, Que. I -J ABNAKI, c >iit inued The tribes remaining at their ancient settlement8 are the Penobscot s, Passamaquoddy, and ivialecite. Peace was made by the Penobscots with the English in 1749, at which time their bounds were fixed.

  • Shad and Herring
    Species Profile: Shad & River Herring: Atlantic States Seek to Improve Knowledge of Stock Status and Protect Populations Coastwide Introduction Interest in American shad and river herring has heightened recently at ASMFC. At the August Board meeting, the Shad and River Herring Management Board accepted the American Shad Advisory Report and Stock Assessment. The approval of the stock assessment marks the completion of over four years of hard work. At the same meeting, the Board initiated the development of a Public Information Document to solicit public comment on potential man- agement action to protect river herring stocks coastwide. Shad and river herring, anadromous fish that spend the majority of their adult lives at sea, historically spawned in virtually every accessible river and tributary along the coast during the spring. However, blockage of spawning rivers by dams and other impediments, combined with degradation of water quality, has severely de- pleted suitable spawning habitat. Species of shad and river herring once supported impor- tant commercial and recreational fisheries along the Atlantic coast. Today, these fisheries are just a fraction of what they were due to riverine habitat loss and fishing pressure. Management under Amendment 1 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Shad & River Herring (Amendment 1) seeks to restore these species through conservative regula- tory measures and state-by-state monitoring requirements to improve our understanding American Shad of species stock status. Alosa sapidissima Life History American & Hickory Shad American shad, Alosa sapidissima, are found in many Atlantic coastal rivers from New- foundland to the St. Johns River in Florida. Shortly after recruitment, juveniles emigrate from estuarine nursery areas and join a mixed-stock, migratory population.

    REPORT OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AQUATIC RESOURCE MITIGATION FUND PROGRAM FEBRUARY, 2012 INTRODUCTION This report is to fulfill the requirement of RSA 482-A: 33 that the Department of Environmental Services (DES) submit an annual report to the Chairpersons of the Fiscal Committee, the House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee (formerly the Senate Environment and Wildlife Committee) “summarizing all receipts and disbursements of the aquatic resource compensatory mitigation fund, including a description of all projects undertaken and the status of the administrative assessment account”. This report also fulfilled the requirement of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Corps of Engineers, New England District, to submit an annual report on the program. This report is for Fiscal Year 2011, from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The New Hampshire Aquatic Resource Mitigation (ARM) Fund was established in 2006 by enactment of RSA 482-A:28 through RSA 482:33 to provide wetlands permit applicants with an additional option to address federal and state mitigation requirements when impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and other aquatic resources are permitted that require mitigation. DES manages and implements the ARM Fund in accordance with both the state statutory requirements (RSA 482-A:28-32) and a Memorandum of Understanding between DES and the United States Army Corps of Engineers that ensures consistency and compliance with federal standards. The ARM Fund Program provides wetlands permit applicants with the option to contribute payments to this fund in lieu of implementation of several other possible and more traditional compensatory mitigation alternatives.

  • Atlantic Salmon EFH the Proposed EFH Designation for Atlantic Salmon
    Atlantic salmon EFH The proposed EFH designation for Atlantic salmon includes the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105, which exhibit the environmental conditions defined in the text descriptions. Smaller tributaries not shown on the map are also EFH for one or more life stage as long as they conform to the proposed habitat descriptions. All EFH river systems form a direct connection to the sea, but EFH would not include portions of rivers above naturally occurring barriers to upstream migration or land-locked lakes and ponds. The oceanic component of EFH is to a distance of three miles from the mouth of each river. The new designation includes six new drainage systems not included in the original list of 26 rivers that were designated in 1998. All of them are in the Maine coastal sub-region (Chandler, Indian, Pleasant, St. George, Medomak, and Pemaquid rivers). All told, 30 river systems in nine New England sub-regions are designated for Atlantic salmon EFH. The new map includes a more continuous series of bays and areas adjacent to river mouths that are within three miles of the coast. Designated EFH in Long Island Sound has been reduced to small areas where the Connecticut and Pawcatuck Rivers empty into the sound, rather than taking up the entire sound. Also, there are a number of improvements in the text descriptions which make the habitat requirements for each life stage more specific and applicable to three separate juvenile life stages (fry, parr, and smolts). Text descriptions: Essential fish habitat for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is designated as the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105.
