BARNETT ET AL.: DISTRIBUTION OF ICHTHYOPLANKTON OFF SAN ONOFRE. CALIF. 



Appendix Table 2. — F-table for the 1 most frequently occurring larval fish taxa off San 

 Onofre, Calif.: repeated-measures ANOVA. D = depth, TD = day-night period X depth, 

 CTD = cruise X day/night period X depth. When the CTD mean square error (MSE) was 

 insignificant (P > 0.75), the CTD and Error (e) sums of squares were pooled. The TD 

 interaction term, when significant (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.0 1 ). is interpreted as daily vertical 

 migration. Frequency refers to the number of samples in which a taxon occurred out of 

 325 total samples. Results are presented for the 13 m station only.

1 The analysis of G. /meatus differed from those of other taxa At the 1 3m station, the 24 July cruise was 

 eliminated because the extremely low abundance of G lineatus on that date caused the variance to be unac- 

 ceptbly heterogeneous (by inspection!
