and larvae was divided among the four authors as follows: 



Michael P. Fahay - elopiform and anguilliform leptocephali , Gadidae, 



and Merlucciidae. 

 W. G. Smith - Pleuronectiformes. 

 Arthur W. Kendall, Jr. - Serranidae, Labridae, Clupeiformes, Myctophidae, 



Ammodytes , Pomatomus , and Peprilus . 

 Peter Berrien - Sciaenidae and Scombridae. 



Kenneth Able, of McGill University, identified the Liparidae. 

 Remaining fish larvae were identified, largely to the familial level, by 

 Peter Berrien, with assistance from the other biologists. 



The generic and specific names assigned to specimens conform to Bailey 

 et al . (1970), or to current usage among workers of appropriate purview. 

 Nomenclature and order of listing (Tables 1 and 3) among higher taxa 

 conforms to Greenwood et al . (1966), except for placing Scorpaenif ormes 

 and Dactylopteriformes after Perciformes as in Bailey et al . (1970). 



In order to express the density of eggs and larvae in a standard 

 manner (as number per lOm^ sea surface) and because of the variation in 

 tow schemes between stations, the following procedures were used. All 

 deep-net catches (18-33 m) were reduced by 10% of the shallow-net catch 

 (0-15 m) to compensate for contamination in the upper 15 m of water. 

 Because flowmeters were not used, a theoretical value of 495m3 of water 

 filtered by each sampler was used in calculations. This value was based 

 on a reported 85% filtration efficiency for unencased conical nets of the 

 dimensions and porosity used (Tranter and Smith 1968) . Therefore, the
