Investigation of a weir-design alternative for coastal fisheries benefits

"The objective of this study was to determine whether modification of a standard fixed-crest weir would result in greater export of fishery organisms from the area controlled by the weir ... From this study it is evident that, if a weir is considered as a coastal marsh management tool, a slotted weir would be more beneficial to fisheries resources."--Leaves v, 40. 1987 Funding: Supported by the United States Army Corps of Engineers; contract number: 14-16-0009-86-1817; Funding: Supported by the Louisiana Dept. of Natural Resources; contract number: 21910-86-10; Funding: Supported by Louisiana State University Agricultural Center.; Funding: Supported by Louisiana State University Coastal Fisheries Institute.; Funding: Supported by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.; NOS (National Ocean Service) Library Public Domain 1935
