Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
CONT

Nichols et al.(1990) report that when clayey silt in Chesapeake Bay with an average 20% sand content(salinity from 13 to 21 parts per thousand) was dredged with a hopper dredge, suspended solids concentrations were normal 5200 m from the dredge and that dramatic increases in turbidity lasted less than three minutes at any given point.

Nichols et al. (1990) observent, lors d'un dragage de silt argileux contenant 20 p. 100 de sable au moyen d'une drague suceuse autoporteuse dans la Baie Chesapeake (salinité de 13 à 21 p. 1000), que les concentrations sont normales à 5200 mètres de la drague et que l'effet de la forte hausse de turbidité dure moins de trois minutes à chaque point donné.

Record 5 1992-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusks, Echinoderms and Prochordates
CONT

When molluscs are dredged out from sea beds, some of the sand and silt swirled up during the operations may enter their mantle cavity. In such cases, the animals can be spread out on a cleansing plot or basin and covered with gently flowing sea water for varying periods of time. This helps them to eliminate any silt or sand and also recover from the fishing stress.
