order. Numbers are adjusted for percent sorted and 

 standard haul factors. 



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

 during 1975 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 

 in 1974 and 1975, 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; in some cases, 

 multiple occupancies resulted from separate cruises. 

 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 1972 to 

 1981. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 



4. 



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

 during the 1975 survey.

Elbert Ahlstrom, John Butler, Susan D'Vincent, Connie Fay, 

 Barbara MacCall, Geoff Moser, Elaine Sandknop, and Betsy Stevens 

 originally identified larvae from CalCOFI cruises of 1975. 

 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 acguisition system and provided data 

 processing support. Ken Raymond, Roy Allen, and Henry Orr helped 

 with graphics and production of the report. Lorraine Prescott 

 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 provided 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
