Habits Of Juvenile Fishes In Two Rhode Island Estuaries, Mohammed Saeed Mulkana

The seining operations were carried through summer and early fall of 1962 when these estuaries are heavily used as nursery grounds. Major features of the occurrence, abundance and distribution of young fishes were deduced by examining samples from seine hauls. Thirty-six species were recorded from the lower river …
