Description
The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first goal was to provide data on the utilization of the Lavaca River delta estuarine zone and the upper portion of San Antonio Bay as a nursery habitat by finfish and selected macro-invertebrates. The sampling design was such that both seasonal and spatial patterns could be investigated. The second goal was to see whether variations in freshwater inflow and/or salinity had any substantial effects on the nursery function of these areas.
