GN, IN, JC and WP (Fig. 1.). In February, 1973, two additional stations 



were added: SS and BL. In 1974, the sampling frequency was increased 



to include collections during June, August and October. During 1975 



only, SP, was sampled, and a single haul was made at IN due to construction 



activities. This sampling program is summarized in Table 1.

in Figure 1. Triplicate hauls were made at each station in the months Indicated. 



a. During 1975 only one haul was made at IN, three hauls were made at SP. 



Fish in each haul were identified to lowest practical taxon, counted, 

 and measured (standard length) to the nearest mm. 



Analytical Methods 



Several methods were used to analyse the shore-zone seine data. 

 Preliminary data reduction provided such summary statistics as the 

 number of species, percent species composition, and total and species 

 catch per unit effort (CPUE), based on a 30m haul. These statistics 

 were used to characterize the shore-zone data. Subsequently, various 

 methodologies were used to determine if any changes had occurred in 

 these descriptive statistics and included tests for determining the 

 underlying probability distribution of the data, analyses of variance,
