A symbol is assigned to each soil. The symbol relates the text and tables to soil maps. The soil maps are available online from the Web Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey. nrcs.usda.gov/). Select the area for which you would like a soil map using the Area of Interest tab. After defining your area of interest, click on the Soil Map tab to view or print a soil map. Note the map unit symbols on the soil map. Turn to the Contents in this document. The Contents lists the map units by symbol and name and shows the page where each map unit is described. It also shows which tables have data on specific land uses for each detailed soil map unit and lists other sections of this publication that may address your specific needs. 4 This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1992. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1997.

  • Location of Thermal Refuge for Striped Bass in the Pascagoula River
    Location of Thermal Refuge for Striped Bass in the Pascagoula River Donald C. Jackson1, Eric D. Dibble, and John F. Mareska2 Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Mississippi State University P.O. Box 9690, Mississippi State, MS 39762 We conducted a two-year study (1997–1999) to locate cool water thermal refuge for striped bass Morone saxatilis in the Pascagoula River, its principal tributary streams and associated off-channel environments. Sampling with gill nets (33.2 hours soak time), hoop nets (26,160 hours soak time), electrofishing (39.9 hours pedal time), trotlines (121 lines with 10 hooks each @ 4.6 ± 1.3 hours/line) and angling (99.2 hours) resulted in the capture of only 12 striped bass. Of these, seven were large adult fish that we equipped with radio transmitters and released for telemetry. To increase sample size for the telemetry study, eight adult striped bass from the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (Ocean Springs, Mississippi) and 15 adult striped bass from the Mammoth Springs National Fish Hatchery (Mammoth Springs, Arkansas) were equipped with radio and/or sonic transmitters and released into the system. Data for one of these Mammoth Springs National Fish Hatchery striped bass were lost, thereby resulting in a total sample size of 30 fish. Ninety-five days in 1998 and 99 days in 1999 were spent tracking striped bass by boat. Six days were spent conducting aerial radio telemetry surveys in 1998. Only the Cedar Creek effluent into the Pascagoula River (N 30 41' 58" W 88 37' 56") was confirmed as thermal refuge for striped bass.
