AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF 

 CONSTRUCTING CHANNELS, JETTIES, AND OTHER COASTAL STRUCTURES 



by 



Julie C. Ford, Arthur K. Hurme, and Edward J. Pullen 



I . INTRODUCTION 



This bibliography presents a collection of references to early 1980 to aid 

 the coastal planner in an evaluation of the biological effects of constructing 

 channels, jetties and other coastal structures. Emphasis is placed on their 

 effects on fish and shellfish migration. Most of the citations were obtained 

 through an intra-agency bibliographic retrieval system, a computerized search- 

 ing process that provided citations of the most recent publications available 

 by keyword. Abstracts not included in the original citations were found at the 

 Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) library or at the Library of Con- 

 gress. This bibliography is published primarily to assist engineers, planners, 

 and administrators in planning and assessing the effect of projects on fish 

 and shellfish. It should be used in conjunction with Mulvihill, et al. (1980)^ 

 which was prepared simultaneously. 



II. USE OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY 



The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author and the entries are 

 numbered. Most references include a citation and a short abstract. Each 

 reference is listed by number in the subject index (keywords) located in the 

 back of the publication. 



To search a given topic, refer to the subject index and locate the term 

 that best describes the subject. For example, if the subject is migratvon 

 then review all references and abstracts listed under migration. If refer- 

 ences on more specific topics are required, a combination of keywords may be 

 used. For example, if information on shellfish migration is desired, check 

 those references that appear under both keywords (^shellfish and migration) . 



Some references may be listed under only one of several closely related 

 kejrwords and the literature dealing specifically with channel deepening and 

 jetty effects on fish and shellfish migration is sparse; therefore, potential 

 keywords should be checked to insure complete coverage of a particular subject.
