5) The thermocline was designated as strong (if there was a change in 

 temperature of at least 1°C per meter of depth) , weak (a change of 

 less than 1°C per meter, but stratification was present) , gradual 

 (slight, but constant change in temperature with depth, no distinct 

 thermocline or stratification) , or none (little or no temperature 

 change with depth, isothermal). 

 Table 3 lists the fish eggs and larvae identified. Transects are 

 listed from north to south (alphabetically) and stations on each transect 

 from inshore to offshore (numerically) . Fishes are listed in two 

 categories: "Species Analyzed" and "Additional Larvae Caught". In the 

 first category, any number including zero in the "No. Eggs" column 

 indicates that we looked for eggs of a given species. Lack of a number 

 in this column indicates that we did not search for eggs of this species, 

 and does not necessarily mean they were not present in the samples. 

 The second category refers to those fishes present in the samples which 

 were not counted or measured. These were usually identified to family 

 or a higher taxon. 



In a few cases where the numbers of specimens caught, shown in 

 Table 3, do not agree with results published elsewhere, the differences 

 are due to adjustments to raw data in correcting for contamination of 

 the deep net in the shallow zone and in standardizing sampling effort, 

 or recent finds of specimens that initially had been incorrectly 

 identified.
