SPECIES IDENTIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Organisms were measured to the nearest millimeter to determine total length (TL) or total carapace width (CW). Fish were measured after being placed flat on their side with the mouth closed. TL was the distance from the snout to the tip of the longest caudal fin ray. TL of penaeid shrimp was measured from the tip of the rostrum to the tip of telson. If the rostrum was broken, TL was not measured. Carapace width (CW) of blue crabs was measured across the widest part of the carapace (from tip to tipof the lateral spines, if present). If lateral spines were broken, CW was not measured. Hermit crabs were not measured
