Summary:
Tributary mixing zones into the Hudson represent areas of both the highest frequency and magnitude of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) contamination. The frequency and magnitude of contamination vary among tributaries and it is hypothesized that this indicates differing fecal sources. While EPA approved cultivation-based methods for the enumeration of FIB provide powerful tools for watershed monitoring, mitigation decisions require additional information related to the source of fecal bacteria. Data from cultivation based FIB and microbial community profiles based on high throughput DNA sequencing were analyzed in combination with land use patterns to better understand the sources of fecal contamination in six tributaries. |

Summary:
There is substantial interest in measuring C:P ratios in aquatic systems because these
particulate ratios may influence food quality of phytoplankton to zooplankton grazers. In most analyses C is measured by dry combustion using a CN analyzer requiring that P be measured on a separate sample. We show for marine and freshwater phytoplankton cultures and naturally occurring seston that C can be measured by a variation of the same wet-persulfate digestion method frequently used for P analysis, allowing C and P to be measured on the same filter. |

Summary:
The objectives of this study were: (1) to develop a methylmercury (MeHg) bioaccumulation model using data from STORM (high bottom Shear realistic water column Turbulence Resuspension Mesocosms) experiments; and (2) to use the model as a diagnostic tool to examine an effect of sediment resuspension and other important factors on MeHg bioaccumulation. Therewere four mesocosm experiments (1-4) conducted both in summer and fall. Tidal resuspension (4h on- and 2h off-cycles)was simulated using the STORMfacility at CBL, UMCES (Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science). The model results showed that changes in clam biomass had a great effect on phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass, and consequently MeHg accumulation. In addition, it appeared that sediment resuspension played a role in transferring the enhanced sediment MeHg into organisms inhabiting both water column and sediment. |

Summary:
Shelter competition laboratory experiments showed that eels outcompete native spinycheek crayfish (Orconectes limosus) of all sizes for shelter, and eels outcompete invasive rusty crayfish for shelter in most cases. These findings suggest that only larger eels may act as a native biological control for the invasive rusty crayfish. |

The objective of the project is to use a combination of 13 verified water level time series to perform data assimilation of tidal water levels into a numerical hydrodynamic model’s verify results, then calculate tidal datums surfaces for the entire tidal Hudson River domain from the Battery to the Troy dam. The result could be used to replace and expand the existing Vdatum surfaces for Hudson River Area. The combination of assimilation set and verification set of waterlevel time series will be tested to make the model work in an optimal way. |

Summary:
The central goal of this study was the conservation assessment of goldenclub (Orontium aquaticum L.) in the Hudson River Estuary. It was hypothesized that factors including hydrodynamic stress, sediment disruption, competition from co-occurring species, and increased herbivory had caused a decline in goldenclub abundance and distribution. Survey results were compared to abundance and distribution data gathered between the 1930s and spring 2014. Results indicate that exposure to open river, and resulting increased exposure to hydrodynamic stress, may be having a negative impact on goldenclub abundance and stand health, with increased herbivory posing a potential threat to Hudson River goldenclub. These factors should continue to be monitored and taken into account if goldenclub is to be conserved in the Hudson River and potentially used in wetland restoration. |

Summary:
A lack of knowledge of how oceanic habitat is used by juvenile marine migrant Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) is hindering conservation measures directed at restoring severely depleted populations. Identifying the spatial distribution of Atlantic sturgeon is necessary to identify critical habitat and appropriate management actions. We used five fishery-independent surveys to assess habitat use and movement of Atlantic sturgeon during their marine life stage. The size distribution ranged from 56 to 269 cm total length (mean=108 cm). Ninety-eight percent of all Atlantic sturgeon were smaller than 197 cm-a size that indicated the majority were immature. The pattern of habitat use revealed concentration areas and potential migration pathways used for northerly summer and southerly winter migrations. Atlantic sturgeon were largely confined to water depths less than 20 m and aggregations tended to occur at the mouths of large bays (Chesapeake and Delaware bays) or estuaries (Hudson and Kennebec rivers) during the fall and spring and to disperse throughout the Mid-Atlantic Bight during the winter. In most surveys depth, temperature, and salinity were significantly related to the distribution of Atlantic sturgeon. Knowledge of their habitat and movements can be used to devise spatially based conservation plans to minimize bycatch and to enhance population recovery. |

Summary:
The spatially explicit abundance exchange model (AEM) was built for four fish species: winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia), eastern silvery minnow (Hybognathus regius), and striped bass (Morone saxatilis) along the Hudson River estuary gradient, New York. The fish and habitat data during 1974-1997 were used to develop and calibrate the AEM; and the fish data during 1998-2001 was used to validate the model. Preference indexes of fish species for dissolved oxygen, salinity, water temperature, and bottom substrates along the gradient were estimated; and these were used to compute habitat preference (HP) of the associated fish species. The species HP was a key variable in the AEM to quantify abundance and distribution patterns of the associated species along the gradient. The AEM could efficiently predict abundance and distribution patterns of all modeled species except striped bass. The model ability for predicting a local distribution range of a fish species with broad tolerance on changing environment like striped bass should be improved. |

Summary:
Because disturbance is generally thought to favour invasions, stressed ecosystems may be especially susceptible to invasions, as are highly artificial ecosystems. In turn, alien species can strongly alter the hydrology, biogeochemical cycling, and biotic composition of invaded ecosystems, and thus modulate the effects of other stressors. In general, interactions between alien species and other stressors are poorly studied. |

The population of the freshwater oligochaete Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri at Foundry Cove (FC, Hudson River, USA) evolved resistance to cadmium wastes. The FC cadmium concentration was reduced by dreging in 1994. By applying artificial selection to FC-origin lines and lines from a reference site lacking a history of adaptation to cadmium, it was determined whether genetic variation for resistance survived despite the vulnerability of post-cleanup phenotypes to cadmium. |

Subject:
Summary:
Anadromous herrings of the genus Alosa are generally thought to leave their natal river or estuary at the end of the first growing season and return as mature adults to spawn. Nevertheless, immature yearling alosines have been observed in large numbers in the Hudson River estuary during and after the spring spawning run. I analyzed the stable isotopic (d13C, d15N) compositions of 26 blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), eight American shad (Alosa sapidissima), and 10 alewife (Alosa
pseudoharengus) collected from 55-225 km above the estuary mouth during April-July and compared them with isotopic compositions of young-of-year (resident) alosines, as well as adults (marine phase). |

Summary:
Dual-frequency identification sonar (DIDSON) offers important advantages over other sampling tools for observing pelagic and benthic fishes in situ. Because it relies
on sound, DIDSON can detect fish in a non-destructive and non-intrusive manner. In our
unique application, the equipment’s small size and low power requirements allow deployment
from a kayak for increased maneuverability in complex habitats. Characteristics that
typify echograms of different fishes can be extracted using multivariate ordination techniques, such as principal components analysis (PCA), with in situ groundtruthing. Here we present reference images, techniques, and human-observer–error estimates from DIDSON
application. Together, these approaches enhance our ability to sample fishes and even observe certain behaviors in complex, turbid environments during a full diel cycle. |

Summary:
The Hudson River is teeming with life, and also with toxins. Over the course of 30 years General Electric released approximately 1.3 million pounds of PCB mixtures (Aroclors) into the HR resulting in lasting contamination. Shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon hearts exposed to PCB 126, TCDD and an Aroclor mixture showed unique cardiac deformities. PCB 126 caused hearts to not loop properly in early heart development, while TCDD and Aroclor treatments resulted in hearts with chambers that did not balloon. In both situations, the fish likely had problems with blood circulation and in most cases, treated fish died soon after hatching. These toxins have a clear impact on development and survival of sturgeon larvae and may hinder the budding recovery of these endangered species. |

Phragmites australis is a perennial grass that has been spreading significantly throughout wetlands of the Northeastern United States within the last 100 years. In this study, samples were collected from nine locations along the Hudson River and its surrounding areas. These, as well as samples collected in 2004 from the same locations, were analyzed for genetic variability using microsatellite primers for eight different loci. Results showed that populations growing in the northern regions of the Hudson River are genetically different from populations growing in the southern Hudson River regions. |

The cessation of dredging in the Lower Passaic offers a unique opportunity to observe changes in the hydrodynamics of an estuarine strait when anthropogenic alteration is halted. The current situation gives researchers the chance to examine the transformation of a depositional regime. These changes are an important consideration in both regulatory considerations and the potential for revitalizing the economic and recreational use of the Passaic River. |

Summary:
Analyses of field observations and numerical model results have identified that sediment transport in the Hudson River estuary is laterally segregated between channel and shoals, features frontal trapping at multiple locations along the estuary, and varies significantly over the spring-neap tidal cycle. Lateral gradients in depth, and therefore baroclinic pressure gradient and stratification, control the lateral distribution of sediment transport. |

Summary:
Measured monthly atmospheric depositional fluxes of cosmogenically produced 7Be ranged from 1 to 67 mBq/cm2 in Boston, MA between September 2000 and August 2007. These fluxes exhibited seasonality and supported a decay-corrected 7Be atmospheric depositional running inventory that ranged from 36 to 144 mBq/cm2. Annual 7Be deposition exhibited an increasing trend that may reflect a general decrease in solar activity and a general increase in precipitation over the 7-year sampling period. To investigate short-term sediment dynamics and accumulation patterns in the Neponset River estuary, we collected six sediment cores in July 2006 and measured 7Be sediment inventories ranging from 48 to 546 mBq/cm2 Comparisons of these sediment inventories with the 7Be running inventory
from atmospheric deposition (101 mBq/cm2) at the time of core collection indicated a large degree of spatial heterogeneity in sediment accumulation patterns and its potential use as a tool for assessing the impacts of environmental restoration activities in estuarine environments. |

Subject:
Summary:
The introduction of zebra mussels to the Hudson River in 1991 caused strong impacts throughout the ecosystem. Since 2005, these ecosystem impacts have changed, likely as a result of a shift toward smaller-bodied mussels. Since this shift in size-structure has had a dramatic influence on the ecosystem, the cause of the size-structure is of interest in this project. Specifically, the role of temperature as a driver of the size-structure shift was studied using a combination of parameter estimations for a stage-structured matrix model based on long-term data, respiration differences among size classes at different temperatures (acute thermal effect), and the effect of increasing temperature on mortality (chronic thermal effect). |

Summary:
Nutrient loading in estuarine waters leads to alterations to biogeochemical
cycling, decreased oxygen levels and massive fish and shellfish kills. In highlyurbanized
areas, nutrient loads can be delivered by rain events containing raw sewage and
allochthonous bacteria including pathogens. Past transect sampling of Newtown Creek,
an urbanized tributary of the Lower Hudson River Estuary, has revealed that this tributary
experiences a nutrient overenrichment-eutrophication-hypoxia (NOEH) cycle, throughout
the summer, displaying high variability in chlorophyll and oxygen levels in surface
waters. In order to assess the drivers behind this extreme variability, a major summer
rain event was captured during a week of daily sampling on the creek. |

Summary:
Human population growth, especially in coastal urban cities, increases the potential for fecal pollution of adjacent waterways, requiring continued advances in pollution monitoring and management. Infections remain the largest health risk from contact with fecal- and sewage-polluted waters, and a small number of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) are used as primary pollution assessment tools. While FIB continue to be useful tools, some of the assumptions about the behavior of FIB in the environment, and the associated pathways for pathogen exposure, have come into question. Research into the extra-enteric ecology of these indicators has identified management-relevant complexities including particle association, prolonged environmental persistence, and multidirectional microbial exchange among water, sediment, and air. These complexities provide pportunities for improving current monitoring and modeling strategies and to better understand exposure pathways for sewage-related infections. |

Summary:
Freshwater shore zones are among the most ecologically valuable parts of the planet, but have been heavily damaged by human activities. Because the management and rehabilitation of freshwater shore zones could
be improved by better use of ecological knowledge, we summarize here what is known about their ecological functioning. |

Summary:
Desorption kinetics and sources (fossil vs. contemporary) of the water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) component of aerosol particles were examined at two sites on the east coast of the United States. Experiments revealed that WSOC is released either rapidly as one homogeneous pool or via biphasic kinetics with one rapidly and one slowly desorbing pool. The majority (>85%) of WSOC was desorbed within the first 15 min of immersion in water, suggesting that this material can be rapidly incorporated into rainwater pre-depositionally or surface waters post-depositionally and transported through watersheds. Radiocarbon (14C) measurements showed that on average 12 4% and 14 2% of WSOC from sites in New York and Virginia, respectively, was derived from fossil sources. By contrast, mass balance calculations revealed water-insoluble organic carbon to have significantly greater fossil contributions. These findings suggest that contemporary biogenic aerosol OC is preferentially incorporated into the aqueous phase and may be transported relatively rapidly through watersheds and aquatic systems. In contrast, the more highly aged and fossil aerosol component remains in particulate form and is more likely to be retained on particles or in soils or aquatic sediments. |

Summary:
Atlantic sturgeon and shortnose sturgeon co-occur in many estuaries along the Atlantic Coast of North America. Both species are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and internationally on the IUCN Red list and by CITES. Early life-stages of both sturgeons may be exposed to persistent aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants
such as PCBs and PCDD/Fs which are at high levels in the sediments of impacted spawning rivers. Our objective was to compare the PCBs and TCDD sensitivities of both species with those of other fishes and to determine if
environmental concentrations of these contaminants approach those that induce toxicity to their young lifestages
under controlled laboratory conditions. |

Summary:
We examined growth, reproduction, and survival of oysters in the New York Harbor-
Hudson River region, focusing on a low-salinity refuge in the estuary. Observations were during two years when rainfall was above average and comparable to projected future increases in precipitation in the region and a past period of about 15 years with high precipitation. We found a clear tradeoff between oyster growth and vulnerability to disease. Oysters survived well when exposed to intermediate salinities during two summers (2008, 2010) with moderate discharge
conditions. However, increased precipitation and discharge in 2009 reduced salinities in the region with suitable benthic habitat, greatly increasing oyster mortality. To evaluate the estuarine conditions over longer periods, we applied a numerical model of the Hudson to simulate salinities over the past century. Model results suggest that much of the region
with suitable benthic habitat that historically had been a low salinity refuge region may be vulnerable to higher mortality under projected increases in precipitation and discharge. |

Summary:
The future impacts of climate change on landfalling tropical cyclones are unclear. Regardless of this uncertainty, flooding by tropical cyclones will increase as a result of accelerated sea-level rise. Under similar rates of rapid sea-level rise during the early Holocene epoch most low-lying sedimentary coastlines were generally much less resilient to storm impacts. Society must learn to live with a rapidly evolving shoreline that is increasingly prone to flooding from tropical cyclones. These impacts can be mitigated partly with adaptive strategies, which include careful stewardship of sediments and reductions in human-induced land subsidence. |

Summary:
The interaction of wind with aquatic and terrestrial surfaces is known to control the
creation of microbial aerosols allowing for their entrainment into air masses that can be
transported regionally and globally. Near surface interactions between urban waterways
and urban air are understudied but some level of interaction among these bacterial
communities would be expected and may be relevant to understanding both urban air
and water quality. To address this gap related to patterns of local air-water microbial
exchange, we utilized next-generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes from paired air
and water samples collected from 3 urban waterfront sites and evaluated their relative
bacterial diversity. |

Summary:
We present an interdisciplinary modeling framework to investigate howhuman socio-economic activities influence the spatial pattern of urbanization, and how consequent changes in land use affectwater quality
and stream ecosystem condition. The framework is composed of three submodels considering (1) the social and economic structures based upon a social accounting matrix, (2) land use change and urban
sprawl based upon a binary logit regression, and (3) stream ecosystem condition in the catchment area based upon the NAWQA (NationalWater Quality Assessment) dataset.We applied our integrated model
to Dutchess County, NewYork, USA, as a case study. Our study, in spite of its limitations and uncertainties, demonstrates the importance of a quantitative holistic approach in linking human and natural systems and estimating tradeoffs between economic benefits and environmental quality. |

Summary:
Intertidal zones of the Hudson River estuary constitute habitats that host rare vascular plant species of conservation concern. These species are restricted or nearly restricted to intertidal habitats, and several grow only in the northeastern USA. Grave threats challenge the survival of these species, including pollution and invasive species. Because of the narrow ecologic and geographic specificity of intertidal-restricted plant species, one would expect them to be the most sensitive of all plants in the Hudson River Estuary, and thus the best botanical indicators of environmental health. |

Summary:
In aquatic systems, ontogenetic patterns of resource utilization strongly influence growth and survival, particularly during early life stages. We compared prey resource use and evaluated potential factors affecting the timing of the shift to piscivorous feeding in two juvenile estuarine fish predators: striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). In New York Bight estuaries, bluefish shift to piscivory earlier in ontogeny and consume larger relative prey fish sizes compared with striped bass. Predator gape allometries are similar and did not determine maximum prey sizes eaten. Experimental results revealed marked differences in foraging abilities between predators, with bluefish realizing much greater foraging efficiency compared with striped bass feeding on identical fish prey. Both predators demonstrated lower feeding efficiency and grew relatively poorly when feeding on invertebrates compared with fish prey. When held together under limited prey conditions, bluefish exploited a greater proportion of available prey at the expense of striped bass. Our findings highlight the importance of the availability of appropriately sized forage fishes to the ontogeny of piscivory and provide evidence that predator-prey size relationships and disparate foraging abilities can generate inter- and intra-specific variation in patterns of resource utilization and predator growth. |

Summary:
It is well known that adult dispersal is common in soft bottom intertidal and shallow subtidal communities. We here report on the first study that attempts to quantify the effects of both immigration and emigration on patches of soft sediment communities. Some species show adaptive emigration from the seabed, although dispersal direction, distance, and colonization success are probably strongly dependent on hydrodynamics, morphological adaptations to dispersal, and the ability to select appropriate target microsites. |

Summary:
The use of natural 14C in aquatic and marine studies provides unique source, turnover and processing information with respect to local, regional and global carbon budgets. The number of 14C analyses in many aquatic ecosystems is small, however, thus limiting the full potential of 14C as a tool in carbon studies in these systems. This is particularly true for rivers, which form key linkages between terrestrial and oceanic systems. As part of our on-going studies, radiocarbon-based measurements of dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC, respectively), as well as dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), are being conducted in a group of northeast US rivers. |

Summary:
American eels (Anguilla rostrata) were collected from Hudson River tributary streams, and resistance was measured with a tetrapolar Bioimpedance Assessment device. A field study showed that American eels in one Hudson River tributary (Hannacrois Creek) were significantly higher in lipid content than eels in a second tributary (Black Creek). A test of the hypothesis that eels would have a higher lipid content in upstream locations compared to eels near the tributary mouth confirmed that this was the case |

Subject:
Summary:
It is believed that most, if not all, toxic effects of PCBs occur through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway. We
used real-time reverse transcription-PCR to quantify and compare levels of hepatic CYP1A mRNA among groups of ranched mink kits and juveniles... We found significant differences in CYP1A1 mRNA expression between mink fed the control diet and those fed a PCB-contaminated carp diet at all three treatment
levels and exposure times. This study demonstrates that hepatic CYP1A1 mRNA may be a sensitive biomarker of exposure of mink to environmentally relevant levels of PCBs and
may be predictive of their effects in natural populations. |

Subject:
Summary:
The ecological effects of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) invasion on the Hudson River have been well documented. Higher bivalve filtration rates after the invasion increased water clarity. This should have decreased water surface albedo and may have lead to changes in water temperature. This study used the equilibrium temperature concept to explore potential changes in water temperature due to change in albedo. |

Summary:
Elvers of American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were collected from the tidal mouth of the Roeliff Jansen Kill, a Hudson River tributary. A total of 180 elvers collected from June through early August 2011 were examined for gut contents. Five kinds of aquatic insects comprised 94.9% of the total food items: four groups of chironomid midges (Ablabesmyia sp., Pseudochironomus sp., Thienemanniella sp., and unidentified adult midges) and an ephemeropteran (Caenis sp.). |
