ABSTRACT 



This report contains the results of quantitative sampling of fish 

 eggs and larvae off the coasts of California and Baja California during 

 1955. The eggs and larvae are sampled in quantitative plankton hauls taken 

 over a grid of stations that usually are occupied at monthly intervals. 



Eggs and larvae are reported for the Pacific sardine ( Sardinops 

 caerulea) . and larvae alone for the northern anchovy ( Enqraulis mordax ). 

 jack mackerel ( Trachurus symmetricus ). Pacific mackerel ( Pneumatophorus 

 dieqo ). hake ( Merluccius productus ) and rockfish ( Sebastodes spp.). The 

 report includes charts showing the distribution and relative abundance in 

 1955 of each of the above species, except rockfish, and brief descriptive 

 accounts of each.
