The fish assemblages of two South Carolina estuarine tide pools located in the North Edisto River were sampled from June to October 1977, and during June and July 1978, by haul seine, lift net and channel net. The nekton was dominated numerically b yFundulus heteroclitus, Leiostomus xanthurus, Menidia menidia and Anchoa mitchilli. Oyster reef areas were dominated numerically by Gobiosoma bosci and F. heteroclitus. The relative abundance of tide pool fishes differs from deep water areas of the North Edisto River as described from otter trawls, but is similar to that described by others for South Carolina tidal creeks. |
