This book addresses specific water quality and pollution problems and documents the changes that occurred during the critical transition period when PCB dumping was discontinued and water treatment plants came into increased use. It will appeal to fishery biologists working with Atlantic coast species, people involved with estuaries worldwide, and to all environmentalists interested in the history of the landmark Hudson River Settlement Agreement. The signing of the Hudson River Settlement Agreement ended more than a dozen years of controversial court battles over the placement of electric generating plants on the Hudson River estuary. Much of this agreement was based on original field research, the most compelling of which is found in this book. Fisheries Research in the Hudson River includes a summary of existing fisheries data bases, with comments on their strengths and weaknesses and a guide to their availability, as well as discussions of the natural history of striped bass, white perch, river herrings, tomcod, sturgeon, and a very important food source, the amphipod gammarus tigrinus. It also proposes a management plan for sturgeon, a plan based on an age-structured population model that demonstrates the practical application of basic scientific data.

The Hudson River Estuary is a comprehensive look at the physical, chemical, biological and environmental management issues that are important to our understanding of the Hudson River. Chapters cover the entire range of fields necessary to understanding the workings of the Hudson River estuary; the physics, bedrock geological setting and sedimentological processes of the estuary; ecosystem-level processes and biological interactions; and environmental issues such as fisheries, toxic substances, and the effect of nutrient input from densely populated areas. This 2006 book places special emphasis on important issues specific to the Hudson, such as the effect of power plants and high concentrations of PCBs. The chapters are written by specialists at a level that is accessible to students, teachers and the interested layperson. The Hudson River Estuary is a fascinating scientific biography of a major estuary, with relevance to the study of any similar natural system in the world.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.Fisheries management and conservation draws on science in order to find ways to protect fishery resources so sustainable exploitation is possible. Modern fisheries management often involves regulating when, where, how, and how much fishermen are allowed to harvest to ensure that there will be fis

The Ecosystems Research Center (ERC) was established at Cornell U ni versity in October 1980 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the goals of: 1. Identifying fundamental principles and concepts of ecosystems sci ence and the determination of their importance in understanding and pre dicting the responses of ecosystems to stress, the description of the basic mechanisms that operate within ecosystems, and an examination of the stability of ecosystem structure and function in the face of stress. 2. Testing the applicability of those theoretical concepts to problems of concern to the EPA through a consideration of retrospective and other case studies. In line with these goals, the Hudson River ecosystem provided the basis for the first major retrospective study undertaken by the ERC. The goal of the project was to develop recommendations concerning how ecosystem monitoring can and should be carried out in support of EPA's regulatory responsibilities. Our hope was and is that the experience gained from this study will be broadly applicable to a range of manage ment problems involving estuarine ecosystems, and will lead to more effective regulation.

Scientists spent more than 15 years studying the physical and chemical characteristics and biological productivity of the estuary and documenting the abundance, distribution, and life histories of the major fish species. New sampling equipment and analytical methods were developed. Sophisticated models of the striped bass and other importanat Hudson River fish populations were developed. Most of the results of these studies are buried in contractor reports, magnetic tape libraries, and hearings transcripts. Our objective in producing this monograph is to make this information accessible to the scientific community. Our intent is to 1) summarize the scientific issues and approaches; 2) Present the significant results of the Hudson River biological studies; 3) describe the role of the studies in the decision-making process; 4) evaluate the successes and failures of the studies, and 5) present recommendations for future estuarine impact assessments.
