Abstract

The first phase of the project was designed to inventory and to determine seasonal changes in relative abundance and size composition of the species of fish and shellfish inhabiting three selected areas of the Galveston Bay System, namely, Offatts Bayou, Clear Lake, and Trinity Bay. The hydrological section of the project involves sampling twice monthly for salinity, conductivity, and temperature at 68 stations and water currents of selected stations.
