Fish Kills of the Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries
Fish kills vary in cause - from the fish that dies of old age to
the catastrophic kill - from partial to complete population dirnunition,
and from natural to the man caused. Fish kills may be caused by
natural events such as acute temperature change, storms, ice and snow
cover, decomposition of natural materials, salinity change, parasites
and bacterial and viral epidemics. Man-caused fish kills may be
attributed to municipal or industrial wastes, agricultural activities,
and water control activities. This paper examines the number of Kills,
frequency, and principal causes of fish kills in the Chesapeake Bay and
its tributaries for the years 1971 - 1981. The data for this analysis
was obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Monitoring
and Data Support Division.
Forty-three fish kills were reported for the period from 1971 to
1981. The range of fish deaths per reported kill was from 4 to
47,7.12,000 fish. Using the criteria established by the American Public
Health Association (1976) for defining "minor", "moderate" and "major"
kills, Table 1 presents a yearly breakdown of the extent of the kills.

-------
Of the forty three kills reported, twenty nine were major (>1000 fish)
during this period. The extent of damage for five of the kills is
unknown as the reports submitted were incomplete. The number of kills
reported per year has significantly dropped since 1974 with many of the
later kills being attributed to accidental spills.
Table 2 presents the year to year summaries of fish kills on the
Chesapeake and its tributaries. As can be seen from this data, the
most severe kills occurred in 1974 in the Back River near Essex, MD.
Four kills occurred in August due. to high nutrient loading and high
B.U.D. from a-sewage system, resulting in algal blooms and fish kills.
The range of these kills was 10,733,000 - 47,712,000 fish with the
duration of critical effect being 6 hours for each occurrence. The
total number of fish killed was 101,361,000 fi-sh.
Two problem areas were revealed via the fish kill data - the James
River and the Chesapeake near Sparrows Point. The James River near
Menchville had two toxic discharges from a secondary treatment plant
resulting in fish kills totalling between 5 and 10 million fish. Other
kills on the James River were reported ranging from 30 at Little
Blackwater River to 9514 fish near Big Island. Discharges near
Sparrows Point have resulted in three fish kills with a total of
614,544 fish killed. The source implicated in these kills was the
Bethleham Steel Company. However, no reports of kills due to this
source have been reported since 1974.
Overall, the causes of fish kills in the Chesapeake vary and are
attributable to: accidental spills, raw or heavily chlorinated sewage
discharges, pesticide application programs, and chemical and thermal
discharges. Accidental spills are the predominant cause of kills in
recent years (5 kills since 1976).

ANALYSIS OF SHELLFISH CLOSURES FOR FIVE
VIRGINIA RIVER SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED" WITH THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY (1972-1979)
Prepared by:

I. Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the closure and
reopenings of shellfish growing areas for five major Virginia river
systems associated with the Chesapeake Bay during the period of 1972 to
1979. The analyses presented in the paper attempts to answer the
following questions:
- How many closures and reopenings occurred during this period
overall and for each system? . .
- How many acres were affected by each action?
- What were the causes of closures?
- What trends are seen within each systan? Are there shifts in
the percent of closures?
The following briefly summarizes the evaluations made during this
analysis. Table 1 summarizes all the condemnation areas within this
study area and included the acres closed and reopened during this
period.
11. Analysis of the Five River Systems Collectively
The data compiled and analyzed for the five systems reveals that
the greatest number of closure actions occurred in 1972 with 65
B-2
-------
closures (Table 2). Most of these closures occurred prior to Hurricane
Agnes. These closures accounted for 89% of the total acres closed
between 1972 and 1979 (Table 3). The greatest number of reopening
actions occurred in 1977 with 20 actions (Table 2). These actions
accounted for 34.9% of the total acres reopened between 1972 and 1979.
The total number of acres closed from 1972 to 1979 was 115,948 while
the reopenings during this period were only 15,in7 acres (net loss of
100,841 acres). The total number of acres closed as of 12/31/71/as
63,961 thus the closures in 1972 were greater than all prior actions
combined. . . ... . . ....
Six major categories of causes for closures have been identified:
(1) bacterial data showing that standards are not met
(2) sewage treatment plant effluent discharges
(3) industrial waste effluent discharges
(4) actual or potential waste discharges from dwelling units
(5) presence of sources of boat pollution and
(6) actual or potential animal waste pollution.
Tables 9 through 13 indicate the causes for condemnation for each water
body within the five systems. Generally, the prime reason for closure
in the five systems is that the bacterial counts did not meet the
established standards. However nost of the areas were condemned on two
or more of the above categories.
B-3
-------
The following sections examine each of the river systems
individually so that trends appropriate to a single system could be
identified. . . . .
III. Potomac River System
Most of the 13 closure actions taken in this river systen occurred
in 1972 (Table 4). These nine closures accounted for 98.5% of the
total acres closed from 1972 to 1979. The total acres closed from 1972
to 1979 was' 17,783. 'Only 1,842 acres were reopened during this period
with 82% being reopened in 1972 and 1973. The net acres closed
therefore was 15,941. Table 9 shows the reasons for the closures in
the river system. Bacterial problems were found in all but two
segments. Most of the segments were condemned for multiple reasons.
IV. Rappahonnock River System
Twenty-one closures and twelve reopenings occurred in the period
of 1972 to 1979 for this system (Table 5). Sixteen closures occurred
in 1972 accounting for 90.1% of the total acreage closed during this
period. Twelve reopening actions were taken, all in 1977-1979 (3,235
acres). The net acreage lost from 1972-1979 was 23,839. Table 10
shows the causes of the closures for each segment.
B-4
-------
V. York River System
Table 6 reveals that 19 of 28 closure actions were taken in 1972
but constituted only 31.1% of the total acreage closed from 1972-1979.
This is due to the large area closed in 1977 i n the York River in the
vicinity of West Point (3,789 acres). Eleven reopenings occurred
during this period for a total of 4,768 acres. The net acres lost from
1972-1979 was 3,194. Table 11 shows the causes of closures for each
segment.
VI. Janes River System
Thirteen closures and eleven reopenings occurred from 1972-1979.
The net acres closed during this period was 56,105 (Table 7). 93.4% of
the total acres closed occurred in 1972. The total acreage reopened
was 4,929. Table 12 summarizes the causes for the closures during this
period.
VII. Eastern Shore System
Nineteen closures and five reopenings occurred from 1972-1979.
The net acres closed during the period was 2,280 (Table 8). 86.6% of
the total acres closed (2,350) occurred during 1972. Only 434 acres
were reopened from 1972-1979. Table 13 summarizes the causes for the
closures during this period.
B-5
-------
Hurricane Agnes
The advent of Agnes during June 19-23, 1972, was a highly
extraordinary event which produced physical, chemical, and biological
changes in the Bay. The following summarizes the effects Agnes had on
the shellfish-growing areas in Virginia.
Virginia Waters
The threat of bacteriological loading resulted in immediate
closing of all Virginia waters for taking of shellfish for direct
consumption on June 23, 1972. Reopening of grounds as a result of
Agnes began on July 20 in.the lower part of the Bay. including portions
of the months of the James and York Rivers. All grounds closed as a
result of Agnes were reopened on October 5, 1972. Table 1 is a summary
of the history of closings and openings following the hurricane.
Ta b 1 e
History of closings and openings of Virginia Shellfish
areas following bacterial contamination from the Hurricane

Date Action
23 June All Virginia waters closed.
20 July Lower Bay opened below New Point Comfort - Cape Charles
City Range 1 i sht line, except Mobjack Bay, York above
Gloucester Point, and Hames (including an area south of
. the Old Point Comfort - Cape Henry Light line).
1 August Mobjack Bay (except certain tributaries) and York to Bland
Creek opened.
3 August James and tributaries opened below a line north from Days
Point except for areas normally closed. Bay opened below
line from Cherry Point north east through southern tip of
Tangier I.sland continuing to Md. - Va. state line. Area
south of Old Point Comfort - Cape Henry Light remains
closed..
9 August Remainder of Bay open except for south of Old Point
Comfort - Cape Henry Light opened. Rappahannock River
opened. Upper Pi ankatank and Upper Great Wicomico remain
closed.
5 October All condemnation areas established due to Agnes opened.
Normal condemnation areas remain in effect.

landings by bay region. The second examines each bay. system..and the
contribution of that system to the total bay landings for each species. The
third examines the specie profile for each bay system.
Transformations were performed on the annual landing data to enable one
to examine the time dependent variation in landings that were the result of
(1) fishing effort, (2) year class strength, or (3) water quality.
The principal transformation was to convert each years catch for a
segment to a percent of the total Chesapeake Bay Catch for that species. This
approach eliminates the year class variability and the annual effort
variability by indexing each segments' catch to the percent contribution to
the total Bay Catch. The variability (or delta) from year to year could then
be used as a measure of the shift in landings due to change in level of
effort in the segment, change in water quality in the segment, or a
combination of the two factors interacting.
Because of the number of figures and tables in this appendix, all
figures and tables have been placed at the end of the section.

2.0 TRENDS IN LANDINGS FOR THE MOST VALUABLE COMMERCIAL SPECIES*
(1970 - 1980)
In this section, we examine the trends in landing for three of Chesapeake
Bay's important fisheries. For convenience, we have divided our discussion
of each specie into three major regions of the bay. The upper bay is the
area from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge north, the mid-bay region extends from
the Potomac River to the Bay Bridge, and the lower bay is that area south of
the Potomac River.
Oysters
As noted earlier, the oyster landing during the period
been relatively constant. With the exception of 1977,
have
The western tributaries which exhibit serious eutrophication
and metal contamination have shown a lower rate of decline.
Figure 2 shows the landings trend for the mid-bay region, the main stem,
and the Potomac and Patuxent declines, although not at the rate of the upper
by region. The mid eastern shore, however shows an increase from 1970 to
1976, then declines until 1979 when the landings begin to increase again. The
improved water quality observed in the Potomac during the 1970's does not
appear to be matched by increased landings of oysters.
The lower bay (Figures 3 and 4) generally shows an increase in oyster
landings with time. The most dramatic increases in landings are shown by the
York River (Figure 4) and the lower eastern shore. These areas appear .to be
compensating for lower landings in the mid and upper bay regions.
Crabs
The landings of crabs during the period has fluctuated with time.

.JRB Associates.
C-3
-------
In the upper bay (Figure 5) the main stem has shown an increase in
landings with time while the western tributaries showed a decline from 1970
to 1971 similar to the main stem. From 1971 to 1972 the landings rose and then
began a decline which continued until 1979 when the landings rose dramatically
from 1300 pounds to 91,.000 pounds. The upper eastern shore showed a slight
decline with time. The decline in the 1972 to 1974 period was most likely the
result of hurricane Agnes. Other changes do not show any immediate relationship
to the decline in water quality which has been noted by other investigators.
Most systems of the mid-bay region showed declines during the period
(Figure 6). The Potomac River system is the lone area to show an increase in
landings. This increase for the Potomac may be the result of improving
water quality trends during the period. The mid-bay main stem and Patuxent
show similar trends
Crab landings in the lower bay tributaries (Figure 1) showed a general
increase with the exception of the York and James Rivers. The large drop in
the York during the 1972 to 1974 period may be the result of hurricane Agnes.
The decline in the James is most likely due to the effect of Agnes and the
discovery of kepone which closed much of the river to harvest. The main stem of
the lower bay and the lower eastern shore (Figure 8) showed a slight decline in
landings with time, with the lower eastern shore showing an unexplained dip in
1978.
Striped Bass
In the upper bay, poor harvests occured in most areas in 1973. The land-
ings then declined until 1979 when a reversal in the trend is observed'(Figure 9)
From 1979 to 1980 the increase in the main stem and upper eastern shore begin
to approach landings observed in the early 1970's. Whether the trend observed
is due to water quality or other factors is hard to say at this time.
The mid-bay shows a similar trend for the period (Figure 10) with peak
harvest in 1973 and lows in 1978 and 1979, followed by an apparent recovery.
The pattern may be related to availability of alewife and menhaden.

C-4
-------
The western tributaries show a pattern of peak harvest occuring earlier
in the 70's as one moves south (Figure 11). The James has declined since
1970 (possibly the result of kepone), the York peaked in 1972, the Wicomico in
1973 and the Rappahanock in 1974.
The decline to zero observed in the James is due to kepone contamination.
The.decline in the York maybe the result of closure due to transport of the
kepone into the York, or due to the perception that striped bass might not be
safe to consume.
The lower Bay main stem, and the eastern shore reflect patterns observed for the
tributaries with the main stem behaving like the York (Figure 12). The pattern
may reflect the influence of kepone contamination more than anything else.

Eluefish
The landings for bluefish have increased rapidly during the early 1970s
reaching a peak level in 1976. A slight decline followed until 1978 and then
the landings increased again.
In the upper bay there has been an increase in landings over the decade
in all but the western tributaries (Figure 13). In the western tributaries,
the landings jumped in 1972 when the landing reached 270,000 pounds, and then
declined until 1979 when only 550 pounds were reported. Landings of
bluefish from the upper eastern shore have generally followed the same pattern
as the upper bay main stem. From 1975 to 1980, the tributaries appear to
respond inversely to the trends observed in the upper-bay main stem.
Bluefish landings in the mid-bay region show a varied pattern over time
which differs greatly between systems (Figure 14). Sharp declines in landings
occurred in the mid-bay main stem and Patuxent in 1972 (possibly the result of

hurricane Agnes) and in the mid-^bay main stem and middle eastern shore in
1975. In general, a slight increase in landings occurred over the eleven year
period...
In the western tributaries of the lower bay (Figure 15), an increase in
landings over the period occurred in all but the James River. The decline to
zero which occurred between 1975 and 1976 in the James River is the result of
closure of the river to fishery when kepone was discovered in the river in
1975. Whether the earlier declines in landings were related to kepone levels
is difficult to determine from the data evaluated.
Over the eleven year period, the landings in the lower bay main stem and
the lower eastern shore increased (Figure 16).
Alewife Herring
In the upper bay main stem and upper eastern shore, declines in landings
were noted for 1972. A decline in the western tributaries occurred a year
later in 1973 (Figure 17). It is interesting to note that if the western
tributary landing data is lagged by one year, the pattern of landings is
similar to that for the upper eastern shore.
Landings for the mid-bay region show a general decline for all but the
Potomac system (Figure 18). The Potomac'landings exhibit a general increase
for successive years with the exception of 1973, 1977, and 1979. The net
increase in the Potomac system may be a result of pollution control activities
on the Potomac River during the 1970s. The erratic patterns for mid-bay
main stem in 1974 - 1975 and in 1977 are difficult to explain.
The western tributaries of the lower bay (Figure 19) show a downward trend
over the period. The James River landings are erratic, but can be explained
by the closures of fisheries in areas of the river. The steep decline between
1979 and 1980 for both the York and the James River raises questions about the
causes of this rapid decline.
The lower bay main stem and the lower eastern shore follow trends observed
in the upper and mid-bay regions (Figure 20); The abrupt decline observed in

the data for the lower bay main stem is matched by an abrupt increase in the
midbay main stem for the same year.
Menhaden
In the upper bay the landings have been nearly constant since 1973 (Figure
21) with increases in the eastern shore landings occurring during the same
period. The western tributaries experienced an increase in 1971; fluctuations
from 1971 to 1974 and then a decline until 1979 when an increase in landings
occurred.
In the Mid-bay region (Figure 22), landings in the Mid-bay main stem and
Potomac River averaged about a million pounds per year. A slight growth is
seen in the Potomac with a slight decline in the main stem. The middle eastern
shore shows considerable variation over the same period.
In the western tributaries of the lower bay, the Rappahannock and the
Wicomico show a general increase in landings over the period (Figure 23).
At the same time the James and York Rivers show a decline with the James
having no reported landings after 1973.
The lower eastern shore has also shown an increase in landings over the
period with the lower bay main stem yielding around 400 million pounds per
year until 1979 (Figure 24). During this period, the landings ranged from
290 million in 1972 to 499 million in 1973 (Table 10).

3.1 BAY WIDE SUMMARY OF COMMERCIALLY -IMEORTANT SPECIES.
Tables- 1- through 28 contain data generated from files of the Chesapeake
Bay Program.
Table 1 provides a summary of the bay wide landings. Price and Value
for 15 of the most important commercially harvested species.
3.2
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE OF EACH BAY SYSTEM TO EACH COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT
SPECIES
Tables 2 through 16 provide an analysis of each specie, identifying
the importance of each bay system to that fishery. The significant findings
for each species is summarized below:
Oysters harvest has remained nearly constant for much of the Bay.
A decline in harvest has been noted for the upper bay, while the
middle and lower eastern shore areas have shown increases in
landing (See Table 2).
Soft Shell Clam Large fluctuations are observed in data for specific
segments which indicates the instability in the yield of soft
shelled clams. A shift in landings from the mid bay region to the
middle eastern shore can be noted in Table 3. However this may
be the result.of a shift in water codes which occurred in 1976
resulting in landings from the same area being reported in different
systems after 1976 as compared to the pre 1976 period.
Hard Shell Clams The hard shell clam industry, like that of other
shellfish shows.shifts in importance of individual systems over
time (Table 4). No trends are observable in the data.
Blue Crab Although the actual landings have varied considerably from
year to year (Table 5), no trend is apparent which would suggest
that certain systems are becoming more important to commercial
fishing over time. The most important systems in terms of crab
landing are: lower bay (39% - 56%); mid bay (16.4% - 26.8%) and
Wicomico (2.2% - 15%).

Alewife Herring During the period 1970 - 1980 the landings of
alew-ife herring have declined in the lower and mid-bay main stems
as well as- the York (Table 6). Increases are noted for the
Po.tomac and Rappahanock. The most important, areas, in- terms of
commercial landings are the Wicomico (2.4.6% - 57%),. the lower
bay (2% - 49.8%).
Bluefish A slight decline in bluefish landings has occurred in
the mid-bay system while a slight increase is noted in the upper
bay (Table 7). The systems contributing the largest portion of the
catch are the: lower bay main stem (38.8% to 70.6%), Wicomico
(10.6% to 27$) and York (3.2% to 20%).
Catfish For different years, considerable variability is evident
for contribution of each systems to total landings (Table 8). The
majority of the commercial catfish landings come from the:
James: (28.8%. .to 76%.),;; .Rappahannock. (3.8% .to 23%.) and...upper eastern
shore (2..8% to 15%).
Croaker The principal commercial landings 'for croaker occur in
the: lower bay (41.8% to 85.4%) and York systems (14.8% to 45.4%).
Menhaden The majority of the menhaden harvest occurs in the lower
bay (approximately 92%) with sizeable contribution from the Great
Wicomico, Rappahannock and Potomac (See Table 10).
Sea Trout Commercial harvest'of sea trout occurs mainly in the
lower bay main stem (44% to 80.4% of landings) with the York
system and Great Wicomico system following closely (See Table 11).
Shad Although substancial declines in the shad harvest are
observed (Table 12), the contribution of individual segments is
relatively stable. The major harvest of shad has occured in
the: York (5.2% to 62.2%); the James (29.4% to 44.4%) and the
lower bay (6.6% to 31.6%).
Spot Commercial harvest of spot come primarily from the lower bay
(43.8% to 83.6%) and the York System (5.4% to 34.6%). 'See Table 13.
Striped Bass Striped Bass landing occur mainly in the upper bay
water (Table 14). The main contribution to the commercial landings
are the: upper bay main stem (19.2% to 50.2%), the Great Wicomico
(14.2% to 31.4%) and the Potomac River (5% to 21.8%).
White Perch White Perch commercial landing occur primarily in the
upper bay main stem (9.6% to 27.2%); upper eastern shore
(14.6% to 21.4%) and middle eastern shore (9.4% to 22.8%). See
Table 15 for the contribution from other systems.

Yellow Perch Commercial harvest of Yellow perch comes primarily
from the Potomac River (see Table 16).
3.3 PROFILE OF MAJOR BAY SYSTEM COMMERCIAL FISHERIES
Tables 17 to 28 provide a profile of the contribution of each specie to
the total landing in a given Bay System..
Upper Bay landings are dominated by oyster, crabs, striped bass, and
white perch, and menhaden (Tables 17 - 19). The mid bay is dominated by
crabs and oysters with menhaden important in the Potomac (Table 20 - 22).
The lower bay is dominated by menhaden, crabs and oysters (Tables 23 - 28).

D.I REVIEW OF RECENT STUDIES CONDUCTED IN OTHER AREAS
i
;
!
Four studies by David (1971),i/ Dornbush (1975),2/ Binkley and Hannemann,
(1975)27 and Bouwes and Schneider (1979)^./ have attempted to examine how indi-
viduals' perceptions of water quality correspond to actual water quality indi-
cators. Each study used survey data. The most frequently cited in the David
study visual characteristics of water pollution were algae and green scum,
murky-dark and ordor and floating debris. However, Dornbush found these char-
acteristics to be unimportant. In terms of the association between perceived
and actual water quality David found that respondents correctly classified
water bodies in Wisconsin as polluted or not as compared to scientific criteria.
Dornbush found substantial differences in the respondents' perceptions of
pollution and actual measured water quality indicators, a similar conclusion
reached by Binkley and Hannemann.
Because of the disparity between perceptions of pollution and actual
measures of water quality, there is a difficult problem of establishing a
link between recreational behavior and changes in water pollution, i.e., no
systematic relationship has been established between the subjective indicators
of water quality and physically measurable parameters. Ultimately, the level
of benefits derived from water quality improvement is determined by percep-
tions of the user rather than by scientific criteria (Bouwes and Schneider,
1979).
D.2 SURVEYS OF INDIVIDUALS' PERCEPTIONS OF WATER QUALITY IN CHESAPEAKE BAY
In a recent survey, the Baltimore Environmental Center found that, in
Maryland, support for the environment was strongest in the mid range of educa-
tion and income.2.' Those in the lowest income and education levels are least

supportive. A majority of respondents were- unwilling to sacrifice environ-
mental quality for energy or employment. There was no difference in the
support for environmental protection: between whites and blacks. In general
the Baltimore Environmental Center found that support for the environment
decreased with age. In another survey of attitudes toward the environment,
the Maryland Opinion Center (University of Maryland) found that 47 percent
of citizens considered industrial pollution to be the major cause of water
pollution .jj/
The Maryland Opinion Center asked a series of questions about the con-
dition and use of the Chesapeake Bay. About half the respondents thought the
Bay was in a bad environmental condition, 30 percent thought it was in a
good condition and 20 percent had no opinion. In terms of individual's per-
ceptions of past and future conditions of the Bay Tables 1 and 2 are in struc-
ture. Table 1 shows that an almost equal proportion of people believe the
Bay has improved as believe the environmental condition of the Bay has become
worse. Nineteen percent of respondents have not noticed any change. As
Table 2 shows, 46 percent of respondents expect the condition of the Bay to
improve in the next twn years but 32 percent expect environmental quality to
become worse. Sixteen percent do not expect any change.

A Survey
People of higher income and education, males and younger individuals
tended to favor opinions regarding the deteriorating quality of the Bay.
Residents of rural areas and small towns supported this view to a greater
extent than residents of suburban or urban areas.
The Citizens Program for the Chesapeake Bay organized a survey to deter-
mine what people felt were the principal sources and types of problems found
in the Bay. Unfortunately, no information on a respondent's place of resid-
ence or familiarity with different parts of the Bay was recorded. However,
individuals' perceptions of the problems found in the Bay are indicative of
its multiple uses. The major environmental problems identified.by respondents
include agricultural runoff, industrial waste, oil spills, erosion of the
shoreline, untreated sewage, and shlorine discharges. Over fishing and con-
gestion were by far the major types of nonenvironmental problems identified.
In its survey of the Maryland boating population the State Department of
Natural Resources found that boaters were evenly divided on whether the waters
they use are polluted. There was greater variation in perceptions of water
quality problems between different regions of the State than between owners of
different types of boats. The areas perceived by boaters to be most polluted
are in the Upper Bay, including Baltimore. Areas believed by boaters to be
, JRB Associates

-------
the least polluted are. the Tangier. Sound:, Lower Potomac and Chopitank regions..
Boaters; who changed the point at which they started their trip were asked
what was the motivation force behind their- switch. The major reasons for
relocation included change of residence, expense, convenience, accessibility
and facilities of the starting point. Less than 10 percent of respondents
attributed relocation to actual boating or water conditions. Onsly 1 percent
of boaters changed their starting point for reasons of water quality.
A survey conducted by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (Speir
et al., 1977).ง/ determined complaints of sport fishermen about Chesapeake Bay
fishing. The majority of interviewees had no comment. Table 3 shows the dis-
tribution of complaints by those who did respond. Nearly 8 percent of respon-
dents cited water pollution as a problem. Kepone was cited by 3.5 percent of
fishermen, debris by 1.5 percent and other problems, boats emptying spetic
tanks, lack of aquatic plants, dead fish and oil spills by 1 percent of fisher-
men collectively. Hence, nearly 17 percent of fishermen cited water quality
problems in their complaints. However, due to the high nonresponse rate, this
result may, not be reflective of all sport fishermen.
In summary, the analysis of perceptions of environmental quality in the
Bay reveal three interesting conclusions:
Perceptions of water quality are broadly consistent
with scientific criteria but the data available is too
aggregative to yield any useful correlations
There is mixed reaction regarding the perceived
improvement or deterioration in the water quality of
the Bay
Perceptions of water quality may vary with' the type
of user, i.e., fishermen and more conscious of water
quality than boaters. Possibly, swimmers are more
conscious of water quality than both boaters and fisher-
men.
