Range and mean size of Urophycis tenuis in neuston and bongo collections at stations off 

 Virginia and New Jersey. Solid and dashed lines indicate neuston and bongo collections, 

 respectively. Horizontal bars show mean values. Two neuston ranges are shown if more 

 than one size-class is present. NS = no samples taken; numbers = no. larvae/1000m :i . 



pelagic juveniles of southern species into the MAB. 

 Assuming that these individuals are transported north- 

 ward by the Gulf Stream, it remains to be shown 

 how they leave the influence of this current and move 

 shoreward.
