Description	Seine netting results from three days of sampling at seven sites in the estuary from June-August 1995. Data includes fork lengths, species and number. Water temperature and salinity were also measured at the surface, one meter in depth and two meters if the habitat was that deep. Habitat inventory followed conventions of Starr (1979).
