FIGURE SET 6
-
Figure 6A. Comparison between 1984-1985 and 1994-1996 densities of total fishes (excluding 3 fish groups)
in 3 areas in Florida Bay (from Thayer, G. W., A. B. Powell, and D. E. Hoss. 1999. Composition of larval, juvenile, and small adult
fishes relative to environmental conditions in Florida Bay. Estuaries 22:518-534).
Figure 6B. Distribution of shoot densities in 1984-1985 (upper figure) and 1994-1996 (lower figure) of Thalassia testudium (turtle grass; solid), Halodule wrightii (shoal grass; open) and Syringodium filliforme (manatee grass; cross hatch) in 3 areas in Florida Bay (from Thayer et al. 1999).
