STANDARD LENGTH CLASSES (mm) 



FIGURE 7. — Length- frequency distributions of scaled sardine larvae for 1971-74 cruises to the eastern Gulf of 

 Mexico. Frequencies are expressed as estimated abundance of larvae in each length class within the area repre- 

 sented by the cruise. No adjustments for abundance have been made for cruises that did not cover the entire area 

 where scaled sardine larvae might occur.
