| Abstract: |
Organisms were measured and recorded to the nearest millimeter total length (TL) or total carapace width (CW). Each fish was measured after being placed flat on its side with the mouth closed. TL was recorded as distance from snout to tip of longest caudal fin ray for fish and from tip of rostrum to tip of telson for penaeid shrimp. If the rostrum was broken, TL was not measured. Carapace width (CW) of crabs was measured across the widest part of the carapace (from tip to tip of lateral spines, if present). If lateral spines were broken, CW was not measured. |
