1979. The economic impact and status of the offshore 

 fishing industry in Virginia. Va. Inst. Mar. Sci., 

 Spec. Rep. Appl. Mar. Sci. Ocean Eng. 67, 51 p. 



Summarizes the offshore fishing industry in Virginia 

 in terms of its employment, income generated, and 

 overall economic impact. Summer flounder constitute 

 a high percentage of this fishery.

1962. Observations on the winter trawl fishery for 

 summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus. M.S. Thesis, 

 College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, 58 p. 



Data on the size composition of the marketable sum- 

 mer flounder landed at Hampton Roads, Va., were 

 compiled in order to establish a base line to detect 

 changes in the size composition of the summer 

 flounder stocks. Information is also presented on 

 spawning, length-weight relationships, and age and 

 growth.

 New Jersey summer flounder commercial fishery — 

 1967 through 1972. N.J. Div. Fish, Game Shellfish., 

 Misc. Rep. 12M, 24 p. 



A backlog of commercial dock receipts were analyzed 

 to obtain size composition data for landings of sum- 

 mer flounder. Results did not support use of percent 

 weight composition in monitoring stock recruitment 

 rates. A review of summer flounder landings in New 

 Jersey is also presented. 



1974b. A study of the distribution of young and larval 

 summer flounder in New Jersey estuarine waters. N.J. 

 Div. Fish, Game Shellfish., Misc. Rep. 11M, 30 p. 



Larvae and young were collected from a number of 

 estuaries, demonstrating that New Jersey waters do act 

 as nursery areas for summer flounder. 



1977. Observations on the summer flounder (Paralich- 

 thys dentatus) sport fishery in Great Bay, N.J. during 

 the summer of 1976 in reference to anoxic water con- 

 ditions. In Oxygen depletion and associated environ- 

 mental disturbances in the Middle Atlantic Bight in 

 1976. Natl. Mar. Fish. Serv., Northeast Fish. Cent. 

 Sandy Hook Lab., Tech. Ser. Rep. 3, p. 463-470. 



High variability in catch rates during July appeared to 

 be directly related to movement of the anoxic water 

 mass. Large numbers of summer flounder were forced 

 into inlets and bays where they were more concen- 

 trated and vulnerable to the sport fishery.

 thys dentatus, sportfishery in Great Bay, New Jersey. 

 N.J. Div. Fish, Game Shellfish., Tech. Rep. 19M, 62 p. 



fishery on summer flounder in Great Bay, N.J., from 

 1967 to 1976. The dependence of the fishery on the 

 2-year old class is documented. 



1979b. Analyses of fish forage base of the Little Egg 

 Harbor estuary. N.J. Div. Fish, Game Shellfish., 

 Tech. Rep. 24M, 341 p. 



Fish remains comprised 32.6% of the diet volume of 

 6-24 cm summer flounder and 74.3% of the volume of 

 summer flounder from 25 to 65 cm. Prey are identified 

 by species.

1977. Sex ratios within length groups of commercially 

 caught summer flounder in New Jersey, 1962-1964. 

 N.J. Div. Fish, Game Shellfish., Tech. Rep. 20M, 16 p. 



Males comprised the majority of summer flounder in 

 the centimeter groups below 46 cm, while females were 

 predominant in larger length groups. The largest male 

 sampled was 617 mm and the largest female was 730 

 mm.

 turbances in the Middle Atlantic Bight in 1976. Natl. 

 Mar. Fish. Serv., Northeast Fish. Cent. Sandy Hook 

 Lab., Tech. Ser. Rep. 3, p. 451-462. 



The occurrence and distribution of summer flounder 

 during the anoxic water condition is discussed. 

 Distribution and catches of summer flounder were 

 termed as very unusual.
