Fish forage specimens in Gloucester County, Va.

At the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) in Gloucester Point, Virginia, a tray holds the remnants of some of the more unique organisms found in the stomach contents of fish collected by the Chesapeake Bay Multispecies Monitoring and Assessment Program (ChesMMAP) as well as the Northeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (NEAMAP), which samples the Atlantic coast. "Most everything here you'd see in the Bay," said Gregg Mears, a marine scientist and chief of diet operations at VIMS. Stomach contents can include mysid shrimp, worms, bivalves, bay anchovy, and menhaden. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
