FIGURE 6. — Monthly length-frequency distributions of juvenile 

 spot, Leiostomus xanthurus, from York River, 1972-74. Mode I, 

 young-of-the-year; mode II, yearlings. Frequencies expressed as 

 log (x + 1) at 5-mm increments. Only the lower portion of river 

 (strata A-D) is represented in 1974.
