in a consistent manner, either with temperature or 

 zooplankton density (Table 3). Striped bass G peaked 

 in cohort E (those hatched 25-30 May), as did G/Z. 



Neither G, Z, nor G/Z for striped bass were significantly 

 affected by either temperature or zooplankton densi- 

 ties estimated during the week of hatching.
