List of the fishes of the western central Atlantic and the status of early life stage information

Description

"Identification guides of the early life history of marine fishes have been published for the northeastern U.s. waters (Fahay 1983) and the northwestern U.s. waters (Matarese et al. 1989). In preparation of a similar guide for southeastern U. S. waters one of the first steps is to prepare a list of the species which have early life stages in the area and document the current knowledge on these stages. ThlS study is the result of that first step to document the species in the area and the information on their early life stages. The area considered is the western central North Atlantic which encompasses U. S. territorial waters alon9 the southeastern U. S. and Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Slnce many of the species from these areas are also found outside of these territorial waters, a broader approach is taken encompassing this larger area so that the guide will be of value to a wider audience"--Executive summary, paragraph 1.
