Figure 4. Abundance of scup larvae relative to water column temperature (to a maximum of 200 m) <strong>and</strong> bottom depth<br />
from NEFSC MARMAP ichthyoplankton surveys (July <strong>and</strong> August 1977-1987, all years combined). Open bars<br />
represent the proportion of all stations surveyed, while solid bars represent the proportion of the sum of all st<strong>and</strong>ardized<br />
catches (number/10 m 2 ).
