Marine investigations from 2004 through 2008 included beach seine sampling, gill net and trammel net sampling, and trawl net sampling for fish and invertebrates. Herring-spawn surveys and fish-stomach content analyses also were conducted. The data from these investigations, along with information from previous studies, are presented by species with discussions on seasonal trends and distinct habitat usage.
