Gerreidae - larvae of this family and other shorefishes (e.g., 

 Haemulidae, Girella nigricans , Caulolatilus princeps , 

 Mullidae, Priacanthidae) were not identified and may be in 

 the unidentified fish larva category or may be misidentif ied 

 as Sebastes spp. , Cottidae, etc. 



Sciaenidae - this family is underrepresented and some specimens 

 may be in the unidentified fish larva category or may have 

 been misidentif ied as Sebastes spp. , Serranidae, etc. 



Scombridae - all larvae identified to this family or constituent 

 taxa (except Scomber japonicus) were reexamined and reas- 

 signed; underrepresentation or absence of these taxa may be 

 attributed to misidentif ication or they may be in the uni- 

 dentified fish larva category. 



Nomeidae - absence of this family attributed to misidentif ication 

 or placement in unidentified fish larva category. 



Pleuronectiformes - all available specimens of this category 



(originally called "flatfish") were examined and reidenti- 

 fied; residuals are small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Bothidae - all specimens examined and reassigned; most were 



assigned to various paralichthyid genera or to Bothus spp. 



Citharichthys spp. - tentative and sporadic identifications to 



species were lumped to genus, which also includes Etropus 

 spp. and some other flatfish taxa (e.g., Parophrys vetulus) . 



Hippoglossina spp. - all specimens of this genus (originally 



called "pigmented bothid") were examined and those not 

 assigned to H. stomata were left at the genus (probably are 

 H. tetropthalmus) . 



Paralichthys spp. - all specimens of this genus were examined and 

 most were assigned to P. calif ornicus or Xystreurys 

 liol epi s . 



Syacium ovale - all specimens examined (originally called "spiny- 

 headed bothid") . 



Xystreurys liolepis - originally misidentif ied as Paralichthys 

 calif ornicus; all specimens reidentif ied. 



Glyptocephalus zachirus - all specimens examined. 



Microstomus pacificus - all specimens examined. 



Pleuronichthys spp. - all larvae of this genus and constituent 



species were examined and assigned to species; residuals are 

 small, poorly preserved specimens. 



Psettichthys melanost ictus - absence of this species may be 



explained by misidentif ication with other flatfish species
