Description:
A total of 17 taxa were collected in the Maumee River estuary during sampling periods in 1975, 1976, and 1977. A total of 11 taxa were collected from the Sandusky River estuary in 1976. Gizzard shad/alewife, Dorosoma cepedianum/Alosa pseudoharengus, white bass/white perch, Morone chrysops/Morone americana, and freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens, constituted 98% of the larvae collected in the Maumee River estuary proper and 91% of the larvae collected in the Sandusky River estuary. Capture, relative abundance, and average density data for each taxon collected are summarized.
