Table 16. Seine catch of selected taxa by station (1976-1985). 



taken at .IC. Hundreds of juvenile silversides were routinely caught at this site during the summer months 

 because this station is in a nursery area for shore-zone fish. 



Total annual seine catches of all taxa combined (Table 17) showed no apparent trend during the 

 period, although totals. were highest in 1976 and- 1977. Because silversides dominated all the annual 

 catches, total catches were largely a function of silversides catches. Over half of all the silversides were 

 caught in 1976 and 1977, thus catches for all taxa combined were also highest in 1976 and 1977. Except 

 for silversides, there has been no apparent trend in the total annual seine catches of the selected taxa since 

 1976. Results of the silversides data analysis are discussed later.
