Larval abundance, distribution, and spawning habits of spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) in Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, Florida
The spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) is one of the most sought after recreational fish in Florida Bay, and itspends its entire life history within the bay (Rutherford et al.,1989b). The biology of adult spotted seatrout in Florida Bay is well known (Rutherford et al., 1982, 1989b) as is the distribution and abundance of juveniles within the bay. The habitats and diets of juveniles are well documented (Hettler, 1989; Chester and Thayer, 1990; Thayer et al., 1999; Florida Department of EnvironmentalProtection1). Nevertheless, the spatial and temporal spawning habits of spotted seatrout and the distributionof larvae have only been partially described (Powell et al., 1989; Rutherford et al., 1989a).
