tant species in weight (Table 10), it was not considered 

 with that group because it was represented by a relative- 

 ly small number of specimens. 



Mugil curema Valenciennes (Mugilidae). This species 

 was collected in both years in all seasons except winter. 

 Seventy-nine percent of the specimens (all less than 30 

 mm SL) were caught in the first spring, whereas 15% 

 (most between 86 and 130 mm SL) were caught during 

 the first summer (Table 22). In 16 collections (9 from the 

 surf and 7 from the tidal pool), 666 specimens of 19 to 

 130 mm SL (121, 22-130 mm SL, from the surf and 545, 

 19-73 mm SL, from the tidal pool) of M. curema weighing 



2,709 g (2,591 from the surf and 118 from the tidal pool) 

 were obtained. 



Paralichthys squamilentus Jordan and Gilbert 

 (Bothidae). This species was collected in spring of both 

 years (89% of total), summer of the second year, and in 

 October 1971. In 10 collections (9 from the surf and 1 

 from the tidal pool), 19 specimens of 34 to 115 mm SL 

 (17, 34-115 mm SL, from the surf and 2, 44-58 mm SL, 

 from the tidal pool) of P. squamilentus weighing 82 g 

 (76 from the surf and 6 from the tidal pool) were 

 collected. Bearden (1971) noted that few records of 

 juvenile Paralichthys squamilentus have appeared in the 



Table 22.— Standard length frequencies (%) by month for Mugil curema collected in the tidal pool (T) and surf (S) during the Folly Beach survey.
