FOOTNOTES:

[54] For crabs, this measurement is carapace width.

[55] Authors' data.

[56] For crabs, the measurements are total length for zoeal stages and carapace length and width for postzoeal stages.

[57] The incubation period for an egg is temperature dependent. Embryo development is faster at higher temperatures.

[58] Juvenile pollock have diurnal migrations.

[59] The peak period varies with latitude: to 55°N—June; to 55-60°N—July; to north of 60°N—August.

[61] The genus Sebastes is a live bearer.

[62] Rockfish larvae resemble each other quite closely, and complete descriptions for the 10 species in the Bering Sea do not exist. The following depth distribution for rockfish larvae may or may not include S. alutus: 45-365 m (Taylor 1967) off British Columbia; 0-88 m (Ahlstrom 1959, 1961) off California and Baja California.

[63] In crabs, the eggs are attached to the female.

[65] Spawning occurs in May in the eastern Bering Sea, but the total period is not known.
