It becomes more abundant southward until, off the coast from North Carolina to Georgia, it is one of the most common food-fishes.

Owing. to its shape and spots, it is known on the Southern coast as salmon or spotted sea-trout, names wholly inappropriate. Spotted squeteague is a much better name. Among the commercial fishes of Indian River this species ranks fourth. Though it is present throughout the year, the largest catches are made during the latter part of winter and early spring. The average weight is 2 to 4 pounds, though the maximum is much greater; we have seen an example at Fort Pierce, Indian River, weigh- ing 13I- pounds. The spotted squeteague is more migratory in its habits than its relatives. At Beaufort it appears from the South in the spring and passes through the inlets on the flood-tide. Early in May they pro- ceed northward, extending their journeys as far as Long Island. On the North Carolina coast they are perhaps more abundant than any other species, excepting, of course, the mullet. As a game-fish this species is scarcely inferior to the common squeteague. California White Sea-bass Cyiioscion uobilis (Ayres) This important game-fish is perhaps most abundant about Santa Catalina, but ranges north to San Francisco, and occasionally even to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jordan, David Starr, 1851-1931.
