Utilization of saltmarsh shorelines by newly settled sciaenids in a Texas estuary
37-499 Post-settlement patterns of habitat use along saltmarsh shorelines of Galveston Bay, Texas were examined for 3 sciaenids; spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), and Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus).

37-499 Post-settlement patterns of habitat use along saltmarsh shorelines of Galveston Bay, Texas were examined for 3 sciaenids; spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), and Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus). Collections were made summer through fall of 1997 and 1998 using a 1.5-m beam trawl hand-towed along the outside edge of salt marshes. Sciaenids were collected from tidal pass, bay, and remote tidal creek areas to assess large-scale (bay-wide) patterns of distribution and abundance.
