| Notes | Many marine fish spend parts of their early lives in estuaries. This paper examines those species that spawn at sea and later enter estuaries “as late larvae or early juveniles.” (p.51) Which physical and behavioral factors enable these fish to find the estuary and stay there? This excellent review includes a list of offshore, coastal and bay species found in Yaquina Bay in particular developmental stages. |
