EXPLANATION OF TABLES 



Table 1 - This table lists by cruise the pertinent station and 

 tow data for 1952, the volume of water filtered and 

 standard haul factor for each tow, the percent of 

 sample sorted, and the total numbers of fish eggs and 

 larvae. CalCOFI cruises are designated by four digits; 

 the first two indicate the year and the second two the 

 month. Within each cruise the data are listed in order 

 of increasing line and station number (southerly and 

 seaward directions) ; the order of station occupancy is 

 shown on the station charts (Figures 2-13) . Stations 

 are designated by two groups of digits; the first set 

 indicates the line and decimal fraction and the second 

 set indicates the station on the line. Decimal 

 fractions were not used in 1952. Time is listed as 

 Pacific Standard Time at the start of each tow in 24- 

 hour designation. Methods for determining tow 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 as follows: BD, Black 

 Douglas; CR, Crest; HO, Horizon; PT, Paolina T; ES, E. 

 W. Scripps; SB, Spencer F . Baird; YE, Yellowfin. 



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

 taxa taken during 1952 in ranked order. 



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

 taken during 19 52 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 in the same 

 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 1951 to 

 1960. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 4.
