Anchovy eggs (no./lOO m'M in MESSHAI tows. Average from lA) deep tows and (Bi shallow tows 

 at inshore I solid i and offshore (shaded I stations; (C) densities in 0-40 m stratum from sequen- 

 tial deep tows at inshore station; (Di densities in 0-40 m stratum (average of pooled 10-m strata! 

 from sequential shallow tows at inshore station; average from (El deep tows and (F) shallow 

 tows at inshore station before storm (cross-hatching) and after storm (hatching). 



(Moser and Smith, 1993) showed that they may oc- 

 cur down to 300 m. Average densities were generally 

 higher at the inshore station than at the offshore 

 station. Larvae were absent from the 0-40 m stra- 

 tum offshore and were nearly absent from this stra- 

 tum in prestorm inshore samples (Fig. 12, A and E). 

 In samples at the inshore station, average densities 

 following the storm increased markedly at 0-80 m, 

 decreased at 80-160 m, and increased slightly in the 

 160-200 m stratum (Fig. 12E). Larvae were not taken 

 in Manta tows nor in the upper 40 m of shallow 



MESSHAI tows at the offshore station (Fig. 12B). At 

 the inshore station the distribution was shifted up- 

 ward in poststorm samples and average larval den- 

 sities were relatively high in strata as shallow as 

 30-40 m (Fig. 12F). 



Genyonemus lineatus larvae White croaker larvae 

 were absent from offshore samples and were abun- 

 dant only in the upper 30 m at the inshore station 

 (Fig. 13, A and B). Average densities were extremely 

 low in prestorm samples but were relatively high in
