Abstract
from the abstract, ". . .The data from the fishery analysis was used to develop criteria for identification within the Lower Bay Complex of areas which were of relatively low diversity and low use by the fish community. Criteria are given for the selection of five sites for potential disposal of dredged material. These five sites are allocated priorities according to their use by fishes and shellfish, and then discussed in terms of recently proposed disposal sites in the Lower Bay Complex. . ."Description
