GUIDE TO TABLES 



Table I. Standardized Haul Factors. The standardized haul factor 

 adjusts hauls to the comparable standard of 10 cubic meters of 

 water strained per meter of depth fished (see Ahlstroa 1953: 

 4-6). 



The following abbreviations or synbols appear in table I: 



NT - No net tow taken 



NQ - Haul not quantitative 



- ...A dash indicates that the station vjas not occupied during 



the cruise under vrfiich it appears, 

 S. Factors given in parentheses were not based on current meter 



readings . 



Table II. Record of Sardine Eggs, 1954. 



Number of normal eggs ; Niimber of normallj'- developing sardine eggs. 



Total ntinber of eggs : Includes all sardine eggs taken in a 



sample, whether normal or abnormal. Sardine eggs are clas- 

 sified as abnormal when the embryos are stunted and misshapen 

 in appearance. It is not known whether the abnormalities 

 are caused by a diseased condition of the eggs or by mechani- 

 cal injury during collection. 



The letters A through D are used to designate age categories of 



eggs. 

 A. . .Eggs spavmed i-dthin 24 hours of collection, 

 B...Eggs spawned within 24.1 to 48 hours of collection. 

 C, ..Eggs spawned within 48.1 to 72 hours of collection. 

 D. ..Eggs spaviTied within 72.1 to 96 hours of collection. 

 Unci. . .Unclassified eggs. Deteriorating eggs that could not 



be classified with certainty, 

 n. . .Total nimiber of eggs in sample.
