Report on the procedures used by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to culture of red drum fingerlings for use in supplementing the stock in Texas water ways.

Abstract: Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were collected from South Bay, Texas and induced to spawn in the laboratory. These oysters were conditioned for 12 weeks on continuous flow using Matagorda Bay water. Spawning procedures used resulted in approximately two million larvae. Results indicate that Eastern oysters from South Bay, Texas can be successfully spawned in the laboratory using established procedures.

Abstract: This report documents the 1989 Texas striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and hybrid striped bass (M. saxatilis x M. chrysops) production and compares 1989 data to those collected in previous years. Recommendations are offered to improve existing procedures and methods. (p. ii)

Abstract: This report documents the 1991 Texas striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and hybrid striped bass (M. saxatilis x M. chrysops) production and compares 1991 data to those collected in previous years. (p. iii)

Report documenting information about the striped bass culture program, including data from the year 1992 compared to previous years with recommendations and improve the program.

Report detailing the findings of a study on black drum fish found in the Gulf of Mexico. Black drum seem to have peak activity from January-April.

Report on a study "to provide a preliminary evaluation of computer assisted analysis of shape and growth patterns of calcified structures of spotted seatrout collected from the lower Laguna Madre, Matagorda, and Galveston Bays" (p. 1). It includes data collected using the OPRS software and discusses how the analysis can assist in separating stocks.

This documnet "presents an approach for accelerating community succession using native aquatic plant fonder colonies. By ensuring that propagules, such as seed or plant fragments, are present in sufficient numbers when conditions are suitable for natural establishment, the time required for vegetative colonization to occur is shortened...Recommendations for production of suitable propagules include their growth requirements, operation of production facilities, and selection of different propagule types by species. Recommendations for establishment of these propagules in reservoir ecosystems include site selection, season of establishment, planting techniques, defining individual phases of an establishment project and monitoring and adaptive management after species are introduced." (p. v).

Report on the results of a study to test whether Eastern Oysters could be induced to spawn out of season in Texas. The study concluded that successful spawning of Eastern oysters on a year round basis is possible using continuous flow procedures.

Report detailing the rehabilitation efforts to replenish public oyster reefs in the San Antonio Bay that were damaged by flooding in 1986 and 1987.
