 Island Sound. III. Food of the juveniles from 

 a mud locality. Bull. Bingham Oceanogr. 

 CoU.,18(2): 73-101. 



Data on the food found in cunner 

 stomachs is presented (p. 78, 98).

1837. Report on North-American zoology. 

 Rep. British Ass. Adv. Sci. 5: 121-224. 



Cunner (Labrus coricus) is listed (p. 208) 



as a North- American labrid. 



Rosenbaum, S. 



1968. Collecting for a salt-w^ater aquarium. 



Underwater Natur. 5(3): 33-37. 



The aquarium behavior of the cunner is 

 described as "same habits as blackfish, but 

 is a smaller fish. Quite timid as it gets 

 larger and correspondingly more difficult 

 to feed." p. 35.

1884. On a skin parasite of the cunner 

 (Ctenolabrus adsperus). Bull. U. S. Fish. 



Comm., 4: 37-42. 



Larval flukes were found in the skin, fins, 

 and gills. A discussion on the pathological 

 affects produced by these cysts 

 (presumably metacercaria of Cryptocotyle 

 lingua, — see Stunkard, 1930) is provided. 

 Attention is focused on the development 

 of pigment cells adjacent to the cysts.

1940. Asphyxiation of marine fish with and 

 without CO 2 and its effect on the gas content 

 of the swimbladder. J. Cell. Comp. Physiol., 

 16: 165-173. 



Experiments were conducted to determine 

 how the respiratory changes at the gills 

 influence the exchange of oxygen and 

 carbon dioxide at the swimbladder. The 

 swimbladder of the cunner was found to 

 lose 82% of the oxygen content normally 

 contained therein when fish were 

 subjected to asphyxiation with little 

 carbon dioxide in the water.

 the dorsal fissure of the spinal cord of the 

 cunner are described.

The optic reflex apparatus of the cunner is 

 described with accompanying figures (p.

Only two cunners were obtained in seining 

 operations at Fire Island, New York, 

 between July 1961 and November 30 in 



1961, between May 1 and October 31, in 



1962, and between May 1 and November 

 30 in 1963.
