AHLSTROM: KIND AND ABUNDANCE OF FISH LARVAE 



Table 10. — Comparison of occurrences and relative abundance of fish larvae on EAS- 

 TROPAC II (355 stations) with comparable coverage on EASTROPAC I (355 stations) 

 summarized by family or larger grouping. 



count of stations occupied on ETP II. Hence, 

 comparisons between the two cruises can be 

 based on either the average number of larvae 

 per haul or on "total numbers of larvae" of each 

 category inasmuch as equal numbers of stations 

 contributed to the totals. 



Comparisons of occurrence and relative
