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

 taxa taken during 1954 in ranked order. 



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

 taken during 19 54 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" sequence 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. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



David Kramer and Robert Counts originally identified larvae 

 from CalCOFI cruises of 1954. Ronald Whyte coded each larval 

 fish taxon or type and Rita Ford entered them into the computer. 

 Cindy Meyer, Larry Zins, and James Ryan provided programming 

 assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acquisition 

 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 quality 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.
