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; in some cases, multiple occupancies resulted 

 from separate cruises. The orders are listed in 

 "phylogenetic" sequence 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.

 during 1969. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Elaine Sandknop originally identified larvae from CalCOFI 

 cruises of 1969. 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. Cindy Meyer and James Ryan provided programming 

 assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acquisition 

 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 quality 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.
