All of these species used the eel- grass beds of the north bay as nursery areas. Species Group V.—This group included four, inshore, resident, eelgrass-asso- ciated fishes which occurred throughout the bay with the greatest abundance in the north, north-central, and south-central portions. Species included the shiner surfperch (Cymatogaster aggregata) and the cryptically-colored fishes, the giant kelpfish (Heterostichus rostratus), barred pipefish (Syngnathus auliscus), and bay pipefish (Syngnathus leptorhynchus). Species Group VI.—This is a group of five, inshore, primarily south bay, res- ident schooling and benthic species. The numerically dominant, resident fish in the south-central and south bay, the slough anchovy (Anchoa delicatissima), clus- tered in this group along and California halfbeak (Hyporhamphus rosae), the deepbody anchovy (Anchoa compressa), the California killifish (Fundulus par- vipinnis) and arrow goby (Clevelandia ios). Species Group VII.—This group included five taxa of inshore, south bay, resi- dent, species which recruited in the winter months and remained abundant into the spring of some years. Included in this group were bonefish (Albula vulpes) along with striped mullet (Mugil cephalus), jacksmelt (Atherinopsis calif orniensis), shad- ow goby (Quietula ycauda), and YOY of diamond turbot (Hypsopsetta guttulata). Species Group VIII.—A group of three, nearshore and channel, summer-sea-. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readabilit
