Figure 22. — Monthly size ranges of young silver mullet, M . curema, taken from two seine locations in Georgia (horizontal 

 solid line is St. Simons Beach, and horizontal dotted line is Sapelo Marsh). Data of March 1953 to January 1956: 

 the size ranges represent the smallest to the largest specimens taken during any given month in this period. When 

 only a few isolated specimens are involved they are indicated by a single black dot (see table 3 for occurrence data). 

 Three growth lines are indicated; the first (lower) relates to young, starting at about 20 mm. length, in April; the 

 second (middle) relates to young, starting at about 20 mm. length, in August; and the third (upper) relates to young, 

 starting at about 20 mm. length, in October.
