Figure 12. Examples of major groups of fish which occupy tidal flats and adjacent 

 coastal habitats in southern New England. Upper figure refers to movements during the 

 spring-summer period; lower figure refers to movements in fall-winter months. Arrows 

 indicate direction of movement for fish that migrate. Fish depicted without arrows are 

 either restricted in home range or undertake only localized movements, both moving 

 alongshore and into the substrate. The figure depicts these groups for an extended 

 period (approximately six months) and does not show the location of particular species 

 at any one time. These individuals or groups are found at different times (for the 

 most part sequentially, see text) throughout the period considered. The fish are 

 typical representatives of groups found in each habitat.
