Effects of the Santa Barbara, Calif., Oil Spill on the Apparent Abundance of Pelagic Fishery Resources [PDF]
Many studies have been made of the effects of oil on marine invertebrates, plants (marine algae and phytoplankton), and vertebrates such as seabirds and marine mammals.

Initiation and spread of escape waves within animal groups [PDF]
The exceptional reactivity of animal collectives to predatory attacks is thought to be due to rapid, but local, transfer of information between group members. These groups turn together in unison and produce escape waves.

Patterns of distribution and abundance of larval phosichthyidae (actinopterygii, stomiiformes) in southeastern Brazilian waters [PDF]
Horizontal and vertical distribution patterns and abundance of larval phosichthyids were investigated from oblique and depth-stratified towns off Southeastern brazilian waters, from São Tomé cape (41ºW.; 22ºS.) to São Sebastião island (45ºW.; 24ºS.). The

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the validity of agedeterminations using otoliths of jack mackerel. The study consisted of two parts: (1)otoliths were examined for seasonal changes in the hyaline and opaque zones at the edges of otoliths and (2)a dominant year class was followed through consecutive years noting marginal zone changes.

The Northern Anchovy reduction fishery for the 1978-79 through 1981-82 seasons [PDF]
Nearly 49,000 metric tons (MT) of anchovies were taken during the 1978-79 season, followed by 32,390 MT in 1979-80, 60,678 MT in 1980-81 and 45,150 MT in 1981-82. A total of 14,076 fish was sampled during the four seasons for age, length and sex.

Relationship between fish size and otolith length for 63 species of fishes from the Eastern North Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Otoliths commonly are used to determine the taxon, age, and size of fishes. This information is useful for population management, predator-prey studies, and archaeological research.
