Dear Marin:

I examined this issue in my dissertation and in an un published paper.  Many
estuarine fish move into deeper water with increasing size.  There are some
publications on this issue, including Linda Deegan's classic paper on gulf
menhaden.  Some unpublished materials can be found on my web page below.

Regards,

Rodney

Subject: lengths of fish using estuaries


> Greetings to all FISH-SCI members

> I am interested if anyone would be please be able to point me in the

> body length. In particular whether anyone has experience of consistent use
> of the shallower (or nearer to shore) areas being used by larger/smaller
> individuals contrasting with use of deeper (or further offshore) parts by
> smaller/larger conspecifics.
