| Notes | The eggs studied were collected from a beach 1500 meters from the entrance to the Yachats River. This is a study of the early life history of the surf smelt, from fertilized egg to yolk sac absorption. "The surf-smelt Hypomesus pretlosus pretiosus is biologically interesting due to its peculiar habits of spawning. This fish takes advantage of the breaklng surf of the outer sea-coast zone of the Pacific Northwest, where shifting sand and gravel serve as spawing substrate. Spawning activity occurs high on the beach and corresponds with tidal cycles as they affect the beach." (p.2) |
