Lepisosteus spatula. Both spotted and alligator gars showed a similar pattern, discussed under 

 the spotted gar. Only 11 alligator gar were taken. 



Lepisosteus oculatus. Forty-nine spotted gar were taken, almost in the exact same pattern as 

 the alligators. They were absent from Fearman until February, but were caught in the other 

 lakes in most months except January and February. 



Mugil cephalus. Mullet catch was scattered over all months except November; no pattern was 

 evident. 



Pogonias cromis. Black drum were caught in small numbers, but none of the 15 taken came 

 from Toms. 



Brevoortia patronus. Only a few juveniles were taken; very few were taken in Bob's. 



Callinectes sapidus. Blue crabs disappeared from catches from November through April, but 

 there were scattered catches in all areas. Most of the crabs taken in September and October 

 were copulating pairs. 



Miscellaneous species. Eight additional species were taken, representing fewer than 10 

 individuals: one was exclusive to each small lake, two exclusive to Fearman, one common 

 between Fearman and each of the other two lakes, and two in all three lakes.
