Farrell, E.P.	TP/01/16	Resource/Key Species		HDR, Inc.	Tributaries	2.019	Utilizing DNA Sequencing and Land Use Data for an Improved Understanding of Fecal contamination in Hudson River Tributaries	Author(s): Farrell, E.P., O'Mullan, G.D. Grant Number(s): TP/01/16 Title: Utilizing DNA Sequencing and Land Use Data for an Improved Understanding of Fecal contamination in Hudson River Tributaries Year: 2019 Organization: HDR, Inc. Pages: 25 Publication: HRF, report River Segment: Tributaries Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 009/01A Title: A modeling study on methylmercury bioaccumulation and its controlling factors Year: 2008 Organization: University of Maryland Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Toxic Substances, Fate & Transport of Toxic Substances Subject: 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.

Kiviat, E.	TP/06/14	Other		Hudsonia	Freshwater Tidal	2.014	A Study of Goldenclub on the Hudson river	Author(s): Kiviat, E., Les, J.C. Grant Number(s): TP/06/14 Title: A Study of Goldenclub on the Hudson river Year: 2014 Organization: Hudsonia Pages: 39 Publication: HRF, thesis River Segment: Freshwater Tidal Area of Interest: Other, Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): GF/02/10 Title: Abundance and distribution of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) within the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, determined from five fishery-independent surveys Year: 2012 Organization: Stony Brook University Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Sturgeon Subject: 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.

Bain, M.B.

Grant Number(s): GF/01/05 Title: Abundance exchange models of fish assemblages along the Hudson River Estuary Gradient, New York Year: 2008 Organization: Cornell University Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Entire Estuary Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Other Fish Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 001/13A Title: Application of Mobile Dual-frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) to Fish in Estuarine Habitats Year: 2014 Organization: Rutgers University Pages: 18 Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Biological Communities Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): TP/08/14 Title: Assessing Developmental Consequences of an Environmentally Relevant PCB Mixture, Aroclor 1016, and Coplanar PCB126 on Shortnose and Atlantic Sturgeon Embryos and Larvae Year: 2014 Organization: Baruch College, CUNY Pages: 27 Publication: HRF, thesis River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Toxic Substances, Effects of Toxic Substances Subject: 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.

Olsen, C.R.	GF/02/06	Hydrodynamics & Sediment Transport	Geological Processes/Sediment Transport	Univ. of Massachusetts Boston	Freshwater Tidal	2.009	Beryllium-7 atmospheric deposition and sediment inventories in the Neponset River estuary, Massachusetts, USA	Author(s): Olsen, C.R., Zhu, J. Grant Number(s): GF/02/06 Title: Beryllium-7 atmospheric deposition and sediment inventories in the Neponset River estuary, Massachusetts, USA Year: 2009 Organization: Univ. of Massachusetts Boston Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Freshwater Tidal Area of Interest: Hydrodynamics & Sediment Transport, Geological Processes/Sediment Transport Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): TP/04/12 Title: Body size and temperature effects on feeding in zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) Year: 2012 Organization: University of Virginia Pages: 19 Publication: HRF, thesis River Segment: Freshwater Tidal Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Zebra Mussels 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).

Grant Number(s): TP/03/08 Title: Capturing the Nutrient Overenrichment-Eutrophication-Hypoxia Cycle in Newtown Creek Year: 2009 Organization: Lamont-Doherty Earth Obsveratory Pages: 24 Publication: HRF, report River Segment: Tributaries Area of Interest: Dynamics of Food Webs, Ecosystem Processes Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 007/13A Title: Challenges to Managing Microbial Fecal Pollution in Coastal Environments: Extra-Enteric Ecology and Microbial Exchange Among Water, Sediment, and Air Year: 2017 Organization: Queens College, CUNY Pages: 16 Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Toxic Substances, Pathogens Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): GF/01/06 Title: Characteristics of water-soluble organic carbon associated with aerosol particles in the eastern United States Year: 2012 Organization: College of William and Mary Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Hydrodynamics & Sediment Transport, Hydrodynamics & Hydrology Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 006/07A Title: Climate Change, Precipitation and Impacts on an Estuarine Refuge from Disease Year: 2011 Organization: SUNY at Stony Brook Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Other Invertebrates Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 004/12E Title: Coastal flooding by tropical cyclones and sea-level rise Year: 2013 Organization: Univ of Massachusetts, Amherst Pages: 44-52 Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Hydrodynamics & Sediment Transport, Geological Processes/Sediment Transport Subject: 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.

Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Watershed Area of Interest: Public Policy, Public Policy Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 003/14E Title: Conservation of Intertidal Vascular Platns of the Hudson River Estuary Year: 2016 Organization: The New York Botanical Garden Pages: 8 Publication: HRF, report River Segment: Entire Estuary Area of Interest: Dynamics of Food Webs, Wetlands & Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 006/98A Title: Contrasting patterns of resource utilization between juvenile estuarine predators: the influence of relative prey size and foraging ability on the ontogeny of piscivory Year: 2009 Organization: University of Massachusetts Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Lower Estuary Area of Interest: Resource/Key Species, Bay Anchovy Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 006/03A, 013/00A Title: Contributions of adult oligochaete emigration and immigration in a dynamic soft-sediment community Year: 2006 Organization: SUNY at Stony Brook Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Freshwater Tidal Area of Interest: Toxic Substances, Effects of Toxic Substances Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): GF/04/03 Title: Controls on the variability of organic matter and dissolved inorganic carbon ages in northeast US rivers Year: 2004 Organization: University of Massachusetts Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Entire Estuary Area of Interest: Dynamics of Food Webs, Ecosystem Processes Subject: 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.

Grant Number(s): 013/02A Title: Development and Use of Real-Time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Quantify Cytochrome P4501A1 Expression in American Mink Year: 2009 Organization: NYU School of Medicine Pages: Publication: HRF, peer review piece River Segment: Upper Hudson River Area of Interest: Toxic Substances, PCBs 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.
