• catalog abstract "The estuaries of the Middle Atlantic Bight - between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras - provide nursery habitat for young fishes that inhabit much wider areas as adults. Their first year is the least understood phase of these fishes' life cycles: the time when they undergo great changes in morphology, diet, and habitat, and when they are particularly vulnerable to predators and environmental hazards. This is the first major work to describe the natural history of seventy important species of fishes that use estuaries during their critical early life stages. In the heart of the book, they describe the natural history of the eggs, larvae, and juveniles of seventy fish species, the most abundant and ecologically/economically important of 300+ species whose young are found in the Hudson and Delaware estuaries and smaller New Jersey rivers, estuaries, and bays. They stress the temporal and spatial distribution of eggs, larvae, and juveniles. They also analyze the patterns and subtle variations in the ecology and life history strategies of these species: their growth rates, where they find refuge from predators, how they survive their first winter, and how they share the estuarine habitat with so many other species. To aid in the identification of these young stages, the authors provide field character keys and elegant, detailed line drawings of juveniles.".
