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

 during 1981 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 

 in 1981, 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 during a 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 1972 to 

 1981. Taxa are listed in the same order as in Table 



4. 



Table 6 - List of stations with multiple occupancies in one month 

 during 1981. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The senior author, Morgan Busby, Elaine Sandknop, Elizabeth 

 Stevens, and Barbara MacCall originally identified larvae from 

 CalCOFI cruises of 1981. Ronald Whyte coded each larval fish 

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

 Debby Snow efficiently assisted in all aspects of data editing 

 and retrieval. Cindy Meyer and James Ryan provided programming 

 assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acguisition 

 system and provided data processing support. Ken Raymond, Roy 

 Allen, and Henry Orr helped with graphics and production of the 

 report. Lorraine Prescott 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 provided 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 

 guality 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,
