Abstract

Sampling of diverse fishes off the east Texas coast was undertaken to determine (1) the species occurring in this area,(2) their seasonal distribution and relative density, and, in the case of the more abundant species, (3) various aspects of their life histories. Of 94 species identified, 10 constituted about three-fourths of the total catch (by number). Data obtained include: species identity, length, weight, sex, and stage of maturity.
