Rilling and Houde: Variability in growth and mortality of Anchoa mitchi/li 



563 



predicted values of mean regional larval growth 

 rates differed by no more than 6'7f. No satisfactory 

 multiple regression model could be fit for larval 

 mortality. 



Discussion 



Cohorts of bay anchovy larvae in Chesapeake Bay 

 do not experience uniform growth and mortality.
