Abstract

Fishes were collected from the Texas jetties and oyster reefs by the use of rotenone. One new fish, Agonostomus monticola, was taken and many were taken that were originally considered uncommon. The sheepshead Archosargus probatocephalus was taken commonly. Other fish included jewfish and sea bass.
