MAP OF ELKHORN SLOUGH INTRODUCTION
An ichthyologist should be familiar with the literature on the
regional distribution of fishes before he attempts identification of local collections. Occasionally specimensare captured that appear to be outside their geographicranges; frequently research into the regional literature reveals that such individuals have been previously noted from the area and are thus within their reported ranges,
The present checklist hopefully will assi st other researchers in the
identification of the fi shes of Monterey Bay. The reference list also
provides a brief historical review of the ichthyological research on fishes
in the area.
AREA OP COVERAGE
The MontereyBay area was defined as the region south of Pigeon Point 7 10' N! north of Point >»r i3k 9Q'. Jjl4..~qd ~>~pa,r .I'?] . 5fL'- ~-l,.-. ..d 122 30' W. These limits were not rigidly maintained for deep water fishes
that were collected near the boundaries.
The Elkhorn Slough, San Lorenzo, Pajaro and Salinas River areas in- clude the complete drainage into the respective slough or rivers, Elkhorn Slough is further divided into three areas wheneverit is possible to de- termine the site of fish collection. These three areas are the following'. the north armof Elkhorn Sloughfrom a line drawnbetween Skipper' s Cafe and the north jetty, to the north end of Bennett Slough; the south arm of ElkhornSlough from a line drawnbetween the south side of the Highway1 bridge and the south jetty to PotreroRoad; the central part of the slough is the region between the jetties and the remaining part of Elkhorn Slough
east of the Highway 1 bridge.
METHODS OF LITERATURE SEARCH
Several different sources were used to compile the checklist. The i%ni'hre~; She A'c'A.'ogden~.; .chron~~- 'V'6L! w~ ie ra'ran sourca useo'..:fc.: i'ocm'> reports on the occurrence of the fishes in the area. The bibliographies of major works on the ichthyological fauna of the Pacific Coast were then consulted. All copies of California Fish and Game and the Stanford Ichthy- ological Bulletin were searched for pertinent references. Miller, et al.
in press! generously supplied data on fishes whose range encompassed the area, but that have not yet been recorded from the area. The review for this checklist did not include all the literature on fishes from the area, but hopefully included most of the pertinent literature. Other major sources of information were the fishes collections at San Jose State College and Moss landing Marine Laboratories.
The information for each species was placed on Unisort Analysis Cards.
The cards were punched for retrieval by species, family, location of occur- rence, or the author reporting their occurrence. These cards are on file at the library at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and can be used to pro- vide the same information as the checklist; the cards are more convenient than the checklist itself to determine the complete author li.sting.
EXPLANATION OF CHECKLIST
The scientific and commonnames of fishes reported in depths of less than 200 meters are those approved by the American Fisheries Society l970!. Fitch 968! was used as a secondary guide for the deep water fishes.
Clemens and Wilby 961! was used as a tertiary source for commonnames not listed by Pitch. The phylogenetic arrangement of families is according to Greenwood, et al. 966! ~
Table 1 presents all the species reported in the Monterey Bay area including the river and slough areas and indicates the collection site.
Tables 2 and 3 present additional data for Monterey Bay proper.
Table 2 gives a list of fishes that have not yet beer reported in Monterey
Bay but whose ranges include the area. The numbers beside the commonnames refer to the author listing the range. Table 3 lists all the fishes re- ported to occur in Monterey Bay and the appropriate literature sources.
The abundance of a species in the area is indicated roughly by the number of authors reporting the species.
A complete list of the fishes of Elkhorn Slough is presented together with data on the specific region of collection Table 4!. A list of the
fishes from each of the three areas of the slough follows with the corres-
ponding references Tables 5, 6, 7!. Table 8 indicates those fishes reported
from unknown sites in Elkhorn Slough and the accompanying references.
The lists of the fishes of the San Lorenzo, Pajaro and Salinas Rivers
follow Tables 9, 10, ll! and are arranged in the format of the previous
tables.
Ieraediately following the main reference list is a secondary listing
of other references that may be helpful for identification or clarification.
Since this checklist is not necessarily a complete listing of all the
fishes in the Monterey Bay area, and since ranges of fishes are constantly changing, blank pages have been included at the rear of the book for addi- tions to the checklist.
ACKNOWLKDGKMENTS
Many people have assisted in the assembly of the checklist. Probably most important were the librarians, Doris Baron, Moss Landing Marine Labor- atories and Alan Baldridge, Hopkins Mari~e Station. Robert Lea, Daniel
Miller, and Richard Parrish of California Fish and Game in Monterey, Robert
Hassur at San Jose State College, and R. I. Smith from the University of
California, Berkeley, are to be thanked for the time and effort they donated to the author. Mary Silver, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, edited the manuscript, Camie Radakovich graciously typed the manuscript, and Jeri
Boechler helped the author proofread the manuscript. Special thanks go to
John Harville, Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission, Portland, who suggested the report, and to my roommate Dave Garrison and all the other students, faculty, and staff at the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories who put up with me during the compilation of this checklist ~ Figure 1.,'1ap nf Mnnterei Rsi.
