Abstract

An ecological survey of the Houston Ship Channel and adjacent bays was initiated in the summer of 1957 with data collected at frequent regular intervals. This report includes the comparison of data on temperature, chlorinity, dissolved oxygen, and related quantities with data on fish, shrimp, and crabs caught in trawls. Data are also given on currents, bottom cores, and organic content of sediments.
