Table 3 - This table lists pooled counts of all larval fish taxa 

 taken during 1961 in ranked order. Numbers are 

 adjusted for percent sorted and standard haul factors. 



Table 4 - This table gives numbers of fish larvae for each taxon, 

 listed by station and calendar month in which the tow 

 was taken. Counts are adjusted for percent of sample 

 sorted and standard haul factor. Average values are 

 given for stations occupied more than once during a 

 month. See Table 1 for station and tow data and Table 

 6 for listing of stations with multiple occupancies 

 during a month. Multiple occupancies occurred when a 

 station was occupied more than once during a calendar 

 month. The orders are listed in "phylogenetic" 

 seguence modified from Nelson (1984) . Subtaxa within 

 each order are listed alphabetically. Page numbers for 

 each taxon are given in the index at the end of the 

 report. 



Table 5 - This table is a summary of pooled occurrences of all 

 larval fish taxa taken on CalCOFI surveys from 1961 to 

 1969. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 4. 



Table 6 - List of stations with multiple occupancies in one month 

 during 1961. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The senior author originally identified larvae from 

 CalCOFI cruises of 1961. Ronald Whyte coded each larval fish 

 taxon or type and Rita Ford entered them into the computer. 

 Debby Snow efficiently assisted in all aspects of data editing 

 and retrieval. Larry Zins and James Ryan provided programming 

 assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acguisition 

 system and provided data processing support. Ken Raymond, Roy 

 Allen, and Henry Orr helped with graphics and production of the 

 report. Lorraine Prescott and Diane Forsythe prepared the 

 manuscript for printing. Paul Smith determined statistical 

 outliers, provided assistance during geographical outlier checks 

 and offered helpful suggestions throughout the project. Izadore 

 Barrett, Director of the Southwest Fisheries Center and Reuben 

 Lasker, Chief, Coastal Fisheries Resources Division, SWFC, 

 provided the support critical to the completion of the project. 

 James Thrailkill planned CalCOFI surveys and supervised cruises, 

 data handling, and plankton sorting from 1949 to 1986 and is 

 largely responsible for the high guality of these operations. 

 Without the vision and direction of Elbert Ahlstrom and Elton 

 Sette and the dedicated efforts of the many people who collected, 

 processed, and analyzed the samples, this data base would not 

 exist.
