"The cunner, Tautogolabrus adspersus, 

 spawns during June and early July, and 

 the bright colored young are abundantly 

 found throughout the latter part of the 

 summer. . . The auftrieb is not rich in 

 surface vertebrates during the summer. . . 

 In early July, young swellfish, cunners, 

 sticklebacks, tautog, sandeels, silversides, 

 hake and sand dabs (occur)." p. 852.

Catch statistics are scattered throughout 

 the text. "Sea perch, or cunners, were 

 taken in much larger quantities a few years 

 ago than at present; 38,000 dozen were 

 sold in Boston during 1879. The market 

 could dispose of many times this amount 

 if they were taken, but for some 

 unexplained cause the supply has largely 

 decreased during the past few years." p.
