Trachipteridae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 were lumped to family. 



Melamphaes spp. - all identifications ascribed to Melamphaidae 

 were reexamined and assigned to genus {Melamphaes , 

 Poromitra) or species (Scopeloberyx robustus , Scopelogadus 

 bispinosus) . Larvae originally identified as Melamphaes spp. 

 were not reexamined and this category may contain other 

 melamphaid genera. 



Cottidae - all specimens checked. 



Oxylebius pictus - all specimens checked. 



Zaniolepis spp. - all specimens checked. 



Sebastes spp. - category may contain other scorpaenid genera, 

 particularly in samples south of line 120. 



Blennioidei - this is the residual of the completely reexamined 

 "blenny" category, which also contained various misidenti- 

 fied ophidiif orms, and is now restricted to members of 

 northern stichaeioid families and true blennioids (other 

 than Hypsoblennius spp.) in the southern part of the 

 pattern) . 



Labridae - all specimens originally identified to family were 

 reexamined and assigned to genus (Halichoeres) or species 

 (Oxyjulis calif ornica , Semicossyphus pulcher) ; residuals are 

 small, poorly preserved or unavailable specimens. 



Pomacentridae - all specimens checked; now includes species other 

 than Chromis punctipinnis , primarily in the south. 



Chromis punctipinnis - all specimens taken south of line 120 

 checked. 



Mugil spp. - specimen checked. 



Howella brodiei - all specimens checked; originally included in 

 Apogonidae; in this report we list H. brodiei in the family 

 Apogonidae for convenience, recognizing that its systematic 

 affinities are not resolved. 



Carangidae - all specimens checked; tentative and sporadic 

 identifications to genus or species (except Trachurus 

 symmetricus and Seriola lalandi) were lumped to family. 



Seriola lalandi - all specimens checked. 



Gerreidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus were 

 lumped to family. 



Haemulidae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus 

 lumped to family.
