Walbaum, in Fishers Island Sound. M. S. 



thesis, Univ. Conn., 35 pp. 



An investigation of the "age and growth, 

 length and weight relationships, spawning 

 period, age at maturity, sex ratio, and 

 nocturnal and winter habits of the cunner 

 in Fishers Island Sound." 



Dexter, R. W. 



1944. The bottom communities of Ispwich 



Bay, Massachusetts. Ecology, 25(3): 352-359. 



The cunner is listed (p. 356) as belonging 



to the "permanent influents" of the 



Ipswich Bay bottom community.

 inlet at Cape Ann, Massachusetts: A study in 

 bio-ecology. Ecol. Monogr., 17(3): 261-294. 

 Cunners are noted to be a "permanent 

 influent" in five different marine 

 biological communities. The food webs of 

 each of these systems (depicting the 

 interaction of the cunner) are illustrated.

Reference is made to the tact that the egg 

 and larval development of the cunner is 

 similar to that of the European labrid, 

 Labrus rupestris.

 electrical power generation on marine 

 resources in the Cape Cod Canal. Mass. Dep. 

 Natur. Resour., Div. Mar. Fish., 48 pp. 



The distribution and abundance of adults 

 as well as eggs and larvae was studied. No 

 significant differences were noted in 

 abundance for any cunner stage due to the 

 operation of the electrical power facility.

 and distribution, and possible 

 destructiveness of the cunner.

 of the Woods Hole region. BuU. U. S. Bur.

The occurrence of larvae in the Woods 

 Hole region is documented and graphically 

 represented. "In the summer the most 

 abundant fish larvae, were Tautogolabrus 

 adspersus and Tautoga onitis. Both have 

 pelagic eggs which appear in June and 

 remain untD August."

The distribution of cunner eggs and larvae 

 obtained from tow net collections is 

 briefly cited.
