Table ?0. Epibenthic fishes and invertebrates taken in otter trawls at permanent 

 stations in the Apalachicola estuarv from June 1^7? to Mav 1'377. Stations have been 

 ordered by cluster analysis according to relative abundance of fishes and 

 invertebrates. Data are given concerning numbers/sample, dry weight biomass/sampl e, 

 percent dominance (by numbers), and Margalef richness. Dominant species are also 

 enumerated by station.
