Seasonal surface and bottom salinities and temperatures in the northern Gulf of Mexico are described. The area surveyed, from October 1972 to January 1976, was between Mobile Bay, Ala. (long. 80°00́ W), and Atchafalaya Bay, La. (long. 91°30́ W), from 5 to 50 fathoms (9 to 91 m).

The families, genera, and species of all larval fishes are tabulated and the abundance, length frequencies, and distribution of 12 species and 2 families are summarized utilizing data collected on 8 ichthyoplankton surveys of the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank area. The segregation of coastal and oceanic species north and south of the coastal/slope water boundary during December is evidence in a comparison of the distribution of upper 100-m integrated temperature and Atlantic herring. Myctophidae, and Paralepididae larvae. All larval barracudinas and laternfishes occurred in areas where the integrated temperature was above 11° and 13°C, respectively. Ninety-one percent of positive larval herring tows were in areas where the integrated temperature was below 13°C.
