was concluded that since the Bay of 

 Fundy main mass of water does not rise 

 above 50° F in summer, it is not warm 

 enough for the successful development of 

 the cunner eggs.

 of Belle Isle. J. Fish. Res. Bd. Canada, 11(3):

A discussion on the occurrence of cunner 

 eggs, larvae, and adults is given. Fish were 

 abundant with lobsters in the warm 

 shallow water along the northern part of 

 the east coast of Newfoundland.

 teleost melanophore. Anat. Rec, 162(4): 

 501-504. 



Sympathetic innervation to melanophores 

 in fish was investigated using a 

 catecholamine histochemical fluorescence 

 method, "catecholamine-containing fibers 

 were observed to be in close anatomic 

 proximity to the conjuctival and dermal 

 melanophores of the cunner 

 (Tautogolabrus adspersus).'" 

 Catecholamines released from these 

 adrenergic fibers are capable of causing 

 aggregation of pigment with blanching of 

 skin color.
