Asiatic clam (Corbicula manilensis) and other foods used by waterfowl in the James River, Virginia Asiatic clam (Corbicula manilensis) and other foods used by waterfowl in the James River, Virginia
Corbicula manilensis was found in the gizzards of 24 ducks of 5 species taken from the James River, Virginia, between 1973 and 1976. Percent average volume in these species ranged from trace to 6%. This is the first known occurrence of this exotic clam in the food of duck in Chesapeake Bay. A total of 135 other food items was identified from the 116 gizzards of 9 species that were...

Rehabilitation of birds oiled on two mid-Atlantic estuaries Rehabilitation of birds oiled on two mid-Atlantic estuaries
An estimated 52,500 birds died as a result of 7 major oil spills on 2 mid-Atlantic estuaries between 1973-78. Ruddy ducks (Oxyura jamaicensis) constituted 98% of 12,500 birds known to have died from 5 spills on the Delaware River. Seventy-six percent of 40,000 dead birds from 2 Chesapeake Bay spills were horned grebes (Podiceps auritus) and oldsquaw (Clangula hyemalis). Oiled waterfowl...

Lead and PCB's in canvasback ducks: Relationship between enzyme levels and residues in blood Lead and PCB's in canvasback ducks: Relationship between enzyme levels and residues in blood
Blood samples were taken for two successive years from canvasback ducks trapped in the Chesapeake Bay. The first winter (1972–1973) five plasma enzymes known to respond to organochlorine poisoning were examined. Abnormal enzyme elevations suggested that 20% of the population sampled (23/115 ducks) might contain organochlorine contaminants, but no residue analyses were performed. The...
