SPECIES IDENTIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Organisms were measured to the nearest millimeter to determine total length (TL) for fish and penaeids. Total carapace width (CW) was measured for crabs. Fish were measured after being placed flat on their side with the mouth closed. TL in fish was the distance from the snout to the tip of the longest caudal fin ray. TL in 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 crabs was measured across the widest part of the carapace (from tip to tip of the lateral spines if present). If lateral spines were broken, CW was not measured. Hermit crabs were not measured. Individuals of each species in a sample were pooled and weighed to the nearest 0.1 g (wet weight).
