Note
Current quantitative and qualitative, studies conducted by the author and his associates with the Harbor Branch Foundation captured over two million fish between Ponce de Leon Inlet, Volusia County, and Jupiter Inlet, Palm Beach County, providing abundant data on the species composition, relative numbers, biotope preferences, migratory habits and life histories. A regional description and ichthyofaunal check-list has been published (Gilmore, 1977a) describing basic fish habitats within the Indian River lagoon, its drainage, and the adjacent continental shelf.
