On the Seasonal Abundance of Young Fish. IX. The Year 1947

Abstract

The 1947 records of the seasonal abundance of the pelagic young stages of teleosteans in the plankton of Plymouth off-shore waters are a continuation of the series of observations made by Mr F. S. Russell (1930–47). The form of the previous reports is retained. The dates on which collections were made are given in Table I, and the monthly average catches of young fish in Table II. The fortnightly averages of all young fish less clupeids are shown in Fig. I, together with the corresponding curve for the period 1930–34.
