 "This is a numerous species, found about 

 the coast generally, and not prized as an 

 article of food. It has many common 

 names, as nibbler, connor, etc." p. 809.

modifications of the chromatophores of 



fishes and crustaceans. Bull. Mus. Comp. 



Zool., Harvard Univ., 23 (1892-93): 189-192. 



A discussion of coloration and 



chromatophore presence is presented. 



Experimental evidence suggests that "to 



retain a condition of coloring brought 



about or modified by surrounding 



influences, the young fish must remain 



exposed to them for a considerable time, 



and the modification will be more or less 



permanent, or of a greater or less degree, 



according to the age of the fish." p. 191.

 for 1904: 245-326. 



Catch and market statistics are scattered 

 throughout the text. "The cunner fishery 

 from Boston in 1902 was carried on near 

 islands in Boston Harbor by 9 fishermen 

 with 3 boats. The catch was taken with 

 hoop nets, or fyke nets, and amounted to 

 38,400 dozen, or 57,600 pounds of 

 cunners, vzilued at $3,840. The boats made 

 two trips a week during eight months of 

 the year, and averaged 200 dozen cunners 

 to a trip. The fish were of small size.
