who observed that the total cunner caught "is so 

 considerable that this must be classified as a 

 useful little fish from the recreational 

 standpoint." 



This bibliography has attempted to include 

 all known literature on cunner through June 

 1972. Many of the references have been 

 obtained from standard indexes and abstracts 

 including the Zoological Record, Biological 

 Abstracts, Aquatic Biology Abstracts, Sport 

 Fishery Abstracts, the Current Bibliography for 

 Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries, A Preliminary 

 Bibliography with KWIC Index on the Ecology 

 of Estuaries and Coastal Areas of the Eastern 

 United States (U. S. Fish Wildl. Serv., Spec. Sci. 

 Rep. - Fish. No. 507) by R. L. Livingstone, and 

 Fish of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, An 

 Unabridged Bibliography (Tech. Rep. No. 261 

 Fish Res. Bd. Canada) by V. M. Srivastava. 

 Except for a very few entries, each citation 

 annotated was personally examined. Portions of 

 the original remarks have been included when 

 possible ambiguities could result from 

 interpretation, when the entire (rare) article is 

 quoted, or when the findings appeared to have 



particular significance. 



We are particularly indebted to Miss Virginia 

 Brandenberg and her staff at the Marine 

 Biological Laboratory Library, Woods Hole, 

 Massachusetts for unfailing assistance 

 throughout this project. Mrs. Ann Hall, 

 Librarian at the National Marine Fisheries 

 Service Laboratory, Beaufort, North Carolina, 

 kindly provided editorial advice. Many state and 

 federal agencies supplied information upon 

 request and we gratefully acknowledge their 

 cooperation. 



A subject index has been included to assist in 

 a search of the literature on the cunner. All the 

 references within this bibliography have been 

 included in the index, although the index may 

 not necessarily be complete on all the subjects 

 within any one article. In addition, an 

 addendum has been prepared for the inclusion 

 of references overlooked in preparation of the 

 main body of this communication. 



The authors would be most appreciative if 

 articles on the cunner which are not included in 

 this bibliography could be brought to their 

 attention.
