An ichthyoplankton survey was carried on in Florida Bay and adjacent waters that focused on the abundance and distribution of larvae of four target species - red drum (Sciaenops ocellate), snook (Centropomus undecimalis), gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) and spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus). Twenty sampling stations were established - eight to document larval entry into Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, and 12 within Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters - to provide insight into larval fish distribution and movement.
