designation corresponds to starting locations indicated in Figure 1 and Table 1. 



for larvae begun at the same location, but a com- 

 parable percentage was usually present a short 

 distance away, i.e., most curves in Figure 8 are 

 closely spaced on the CalCOFI station abscissae. 

 Most larvae begun at the offshore location D moved 

 inshore regardless of season, and the seasonal dif- 

 ferences were in the relative extent of inshore move- 

 ment, the maximum occurring during July. In all 

 simulations the cross-shore distributions of larvae 



formed strong gradients, regardless of season. 



Starting location A is within the Southern Califor- 

 nia Bight proper, the region that most consistently 

 has high larval concentrations of northern anchovy 

 (cf. Hewitt 1980). Larval distributions started at 

 location A did exhibit notable seasonal differences 

 in their 30-d cross-shore distributions, with the 

 greatest offshore dispersal occurring during July 

 (Figs. 5A, 8A), and the largest inshore movement
