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 (Scopelogadus bispinosus) ; larvae 

 originally identified as Melamphaes spp. were not reexamined 

 and this category may contain other melamphaid genera. 



Cottidae - some samples may include specimens of Scorpaenichthys 

 marmoratus , hexagrammids (e.g., Oxylebius pictus, Zaniolepis 

 spp.), and some blennioids (e.g., Hypsoblennius spp.). 



Zaniolepis spp. - not identified originally; specimen identified 

 recently from Cottidae. 



Scorpaenidae - now includes genera (Pontinus , Scorpaena , 



Scorpaenodes) other than Sebastes ; some of these other 

 genera remain in Sebastes , particularly on southern lines. 



Sebastes spp. - in addition to other scorpaenid genera, 



category includes some Prionotus spp., serranids, scombrids, 

 and other spiny-headed shorefishes, particularly in 

 samples south of line 120. 



Hypsoblennius spp. - some specimens remain in Cottidae. 



Clinidae - some specimens remain in Cottidae or unidentified fish 

 larva category. 



Labridae - tentative and sporadic identifications to genus were 

 lumped to family. 



Chromis punctipinnis - records south of about line 120 may 

 include other pomacentrid taxa. 



Carangidae - all specimens checked; tentative and sporadic 

 identifications to genus or species (except Trachurus 

 symmetricus) were lumped to family. 



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

 Haemulidae, Caulolatilis 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. 



Girella nigricans - all specimens checked. 



Medial una californiensis - all specimens checked. 



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.
