SPECIES IDENTIFICATION and MEASUREMENT

Specimens were identified and the species name was recorded on the appropriate identification sheet. Fish were measured to the nearest millimeter total length (TL). TL and carapace length (CL) were measured for penaeid shrimp, and carapace width (CW) for crabs. TL in shrimp was from the tip of the rostrum to the tip of telson. If the rostrum was broken, "broken rostrum" was recorded on the data sheet and 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, "broken lateral spines" was recorded on the data sheet for that individual and CW was not measured. Hermit crabs were not measured.
