Fish eggs and larvae were surprisingly scarce. A few 

 eggs were taken at stations N5 and N22, and some larvae taken 

 at station N2. The cyphonautes larvae of Bryozoa, which are 

 so characteristic of shallow neritic waters farther south, were 

 totally absent from the catches. The occurrence of many 

 planktonic larvae of bottom-living animals at the northern 

 stations is of interest since, elsewhere in the world, larvae 

 of these temporary plankton are often noticeably scarce.

 and Cyprid Larva, giving the number of individuals 

 per haul, adjusted to 60-meter hauls (size of shaded 

 area proportional to number of individuals caught 

 at that point).
