Abstract

The natural histories of the three leading foodfishes of coastal Texas- the redfish (Sciaenops ocellata), the black drum (Pogonias cromis), and the spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus)- have been little understood in any section the distribution of these species. Along the Texas coast serious debates often arise as to the habits of the redfish, drum and spotted trout, with reference to the location of young and adult fish.
