 on the beach having been driven ashore by schools of large blue-

 eyed scad, MitchilPs anchovy, silvery anchovy, and sea herring. 

 The young mackerel were more abundant than any other species.

 young bluefish, young greenbacks, silversides, fresh-water killy, 

 common killy, short killy, rainwater fish, four-spined stickle- 

 backs, MitchilPs anchovy, and the common pond sunfish were 

 secured.
