estimated by using a fixed distance per tow. The distance of 0.69 km 

 was chosen because it is the maximum distance that can be covered at NR 

 and JC. In addition, this was approximately the distance covered in 15 

 min when the boat was hauling a trawl net with the engine at idle speed 

 without the influence of tidal currents. Thus, trawl data collected 

 between February 1976 and October 1977 are considered comparable to 

 those collected after October 1977. The data used in this report are 

 from the period February 1976 through September 1982. Fish in each haul 

 were identified to the lowest practical taxon, counted, and measured to 

 the nearest mm of total length. 



Seine sampling 



The shore-zone fishes were sampled monthly at Seaside Point (SS) , 

 White Point (WP) , Jordan Cove (JC) , and Giants Neck (GN) (Fig. 1). They
