depth, volume of water strained, standard haul factor, 

 and percent sorted were described in the methods 

 section. The values for total fish eggs and larvae 

 represent raw counts (unadjusted for percent sorted or 

 standard haul factor). Ship codes are: EB, Ellen B. 

 Scripps and HO, Horizon . 



Table 2 - This table lists pooled occurrences of all larval fish 

 taxa taken during 1967 in ranked order. 



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

 taken during 1967 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. 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 1961 to 

 1969. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 4. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Lois Hunter originally identified larvae from CalCOFI 

 cruises of 1967. 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, Larry Zins, 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 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 guality 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.
