The peaks of abundance during periods of maximum ebb tides suggests that the directions and velocities of flow play an important role in regulating the distribution and catch of larval menhaden and young shrimp in estuarine waters57 Medicine & Biology;Abundance;Brevoortia patronus;Direction;Distribution;Environments;Estuaries;Fisheries;Fishing;Galveston;Galveston bay;Herrings;Larvae;Marine;Marine fishes;Mexico gulf;Reprints;Salinity;Shrimp;Texas;Tides;United States;Velocity;Water;Report
