Some observations of juvenile herring at the Fraser River estuary, B.C.
This paper is a preliminary summary of observations on juvenile herring taken on Sturgeon and Roberts banks, Fraser River estuary, during beach seine sampling over the period March 1979 to July 1981. Previous data on juvenile herring in the Strait of Georgia are scarce. The only other reports are those of Hourston (1957), who dealt mainly with qualitative estimates of abundance, and Barraclough (1967) who reported larvae from a late spawning population at Boundary Bay and/or Point Roberts. The former location is reported to support a spawning population of 2501 to 5000 t/yr (Hourston and Humphreys 1978)
