UBC Institute of Fisheries Field Record B.C. 57-82

Description

C10 Opisthonema libertate [note:] NMC (4); C44 Nectarges sp. [note:] NMC (1); C46 Vomber declivifrons [note:] NMC (5); Many small larval fish appeared beneath the light. These were preyed upon by moonfish (Vomer declivifrons), thread herring (Opisthonema libertate) and later by sierra. Not being able to catch the larger fish we poured liquid rotenone over the side. This was not very successful but we got a few large thread herring and moonfish.
