WATSON and DAVIS: LARVAL FISH DIETS IN SHALLOW COASTAL WATERS 



dence was a little higher for the Pr larvae (56.7 

 ± 19.4%) than for the older specimens (43.2 ± 

 10.9%). Both the younger and older larvae dis- 

 played a higher feeding incidence in the block 

 nearest shore (Table 3). For the FP larvae sum- 



med over all strata, the 95% confidence limits 

 about %FI barely overlapped between block A 

 (52.5 ± 13.4%) and those farther seaward (22.2 

 ± 17.5%). For the Pr larvae, however, confi- 

 dence limits broadly overlapped between block 



to isobaths: A = 6-9 m; B = 9-12 m; C = 12-22 m; D = 22^5 m; E = 45-75 m. Strata are N = neuston; M = midwater; 

 %FI = feeding incidence (100 -^ NiN,). Ninety-five percent confidence limits are given for %FI.
