Description:
Fish eggs and larvae were sampled during 1970 and 1971 at approximately monthly intervals in the Kiel Bay using a Bongo-Net. Samples of 0.5 mm mesh net were considered in this study. At every station temperature and salinity were measured. The most abundant fish eggs were of sprat origin, followed by flounder, cod and plaice. Spawning areas of this species are also described. Fish larvae showed high abundance from June to August with gobies predominance. Commercially important species such as herring, cod and plaice were present in low numbers. Species exceeding the 5 % relative proportion level (tow-year average) were herring, sprat, rockling, gobies and gunnel.
