Hypsoblennius hentz and Hypsoblennius ionthas did not exhibit seasonal size trends. Both<br />

species were captured across relatively narrow size ranges and at similar mean TL (H. hentz: 22-31 mm<br />

TL, mean=25.83 mm; H. ionthas: 12-50 mm TL, mean=26.41 mm) (Table 3, Fig. 12). Length frequency<br />

distributions indicated relatively strong recruitment of H. ionthas at Galveston in late spring of 2000, with<br />

those cohorts persisting through August and virtually absent thereafter (Fig. 12, Appendix A).<br />
