This article discusses the climatic and hydrologic variables 

 affecting the nearshore environmental complexes on the south 

 Texas coast, including the inner shelf, barrier island complex, 

 lagoon-bay complex, deltaic plain, and aeolian sand plain.

The Laguna Madre of Texas is a series of coastal lagoons, con- 

 sisting of a long narrow outer lagoon separated from the Gulf of 

 Mexico by Padre Island. There is an abundant and varied fish fauna 

 in the various parts of the Laguna.

In the present study, an effort has been made to relate fish 

 production to gross plant production in a shallow, frequently 

 hypersaline coastal bay, the Upper Laguna Madre of Texas. The 

 Upper Laguna Madre is located on the Texas Gulf coast immediately 

 south of Corpus Christi Bay, and is separated from the Gulf of 

 Mexico by a narrow barrier island, Padre Island.

The seaward part of Padre Island and the adjacent nearshore are 

 differentiated geomorphically into a beach and a bar-trough system, 

 and macrobenthos zonation is related to geomorphic features.
