Scophthalmus aquosus , windowpane 



The windowpane was represented in the trawl, impingement and 

 plankton programs (Table 1). It ranked third in trawls, eighth in 

 impingement but was nearly absent from the seine program. Eggs ranked 

 sixth at both EN and Nb, although larvae were rare. Windowpane were 

 year-round residents of the Millstone area (Table 4) . More than half of 

 the windowpane were caught by trawl at the deep-water BR station (Table 

 3). The modal length of trawled windowpane was 260 mm (Fig. 19). The

length frequency distribution of impinged windowpane had a small peak at 

 50 mm and a much larger peak from 270 to 290 mm (Fig. 19). More 

 windowpane were collected by trawl and impinged in 1983 than during 

 previous years (Fig. 20).
