Nelson: Abundance, growth, and mortality of young-of-the-year Lagodon rhomboides 
321 
Young-of-the-year pinfish abundance varied signifi- 
cantly between years in Tampa Bay and Charlotte 
Harbor (although not significant, year was included 
in the model for Choctawhatchee Bay to compute 
least squares meansXTable 1; Fig. 7). Pinfish abun- 
dance was also generally highest in Choctawhatchee 
Standard length (mm)

Monthly length-frequency distributions of pinfish captured at fixed seine( — ) and trawl (• • •) stations in 
Tampa Bay from 1989 to 1994. Vertical arrows indicate the monthly maximum size limits for young-of-the- 
year data, n is the number of pinfish measured.
