The overall objective of our juvenile study was to evaluate relative species abundance and size composition of fish communities among selected habitats in estuarine and marine waters of Everglades National Park and to provide descriptions of the habitats in which these fishes occurred. Particular emphasis was placed on spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) and gray snapper (lutjanus griseus). The study was divided into subobjectives - juvenile fish associated with open water habitats and fish utilizing red mangrove prop root habitats.
