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

 taken during 1984 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" 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 1972 to 

 1984. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 4. 



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

 during 1984.

David Ambrose, Elaine Sandknop and one of us (EGS) originally 

 identified larvae from CalCOFI cruises in 1984. Amy E. Hays coded 

 each larval fish taxon or type and entered it into the computer. 

 Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acquisition system. Roy 

 Allen helped with graphics and production of the report. Lorraine 

 Prescott prepared the manuscript for printing. Paul Smith offered 

 helpful suggestions throughout the project. Izadore Barrett, 

 Director of the Southwest Fisheries Center, 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.
