collected in the surf than in the tidal pool (see Table 6). 

 In the first year more specimens were captured in the 

 tidal pool than in the surf, but in the second year the op- 

 posite was true. Captures of large numbers of small fishes 

 in the tidal pool during the spring of the first year ac- 



counts for most of this variation between years. 



Considering the first and second years combined, more 

 species, greater numbers, and a greater mass were 

 collected in the surf than in the tidal pool. In the surf as 

 compared with the tidal pool, species diversity was
