Abstract

Crustacea from two marsh embayments were collected twice a month for two years, identified, and their seasonal abundance determined with respect to temperature and salinity. Collections included commercial penaeid shrimp, grass shrimp (Palaemonetes), and mysid shrimp. Effects of the pesticide malathion were also made note of.
