ABSTRACT 



Sea surface temperatures (SST) for the period of July 1970 to June 1976 from 

 Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Miami, Florida were measured during the U.S. Coast 

 Guard Oceanographic Unit's Airborne Radiation Thermometer (ART) monthly 

 surveys. A total of 72 monthly SST contoured isotherm charts are presented 

 which are constructed from data obtained on these surveys. 



The distribution of 9 species of marine animals as a function of latitude and 

 SST are presented.
