FISHERY BULLETIN: VOL. 71, NO. 2 



.ABLE 1. — List of myctophid species collected, the number collected, size range, size at maturity, night and day 

 depth ranges, and seasons when juveniles were present or present in markedly higher abundances. Under "Number 

 collected" the figures given are the totals from the four quarterly series of samples; where few or none were caught 

 in these series, the total number caught in all other samples is given in parentheses. Figures in parentheses under 

 "Size range" are for dipnetted specimens. 



Eight species — Protomyctophum beckeri, 

 Loweina laurae, L. terminata, Centrobranchus 

 andreae, Diaphus metopoclampus, D. theta, 

 Lampadena anomala, and Taaningichthys pau- 

 rolychnus — were taken so rarely that little 

 other than their capture in the area can be 

 noted. For 39 species, the individual accounts 



below include where possible the following 

 aspects: deviations from depth ranges given in 

 Table 1; changes in size composition and sex 

 ratio with depth ; differential avoidance between 

 day and night, IK and CT, and full and new 

 moon; and changes in size composition, abun- 

 dance, and reproductive state with season.
