The recruitment patterns of 16 species of coral reef fishes from seven families were investigated. The Gobiidae are represented by five species and the Pomacentridae and Apogonidae by four and three species respectively. Data are presented for the abundance of size-designated postlarval recruits for a 14-month period. These data are from three transects with quadrats at depths of 10, 20, 30, and 40 m. Most of the species show two principal peaks in their abundance patterns, one in the spring (March–May) and one in the fall (September–November). The species with the largest sample sizes had recruits present essentially throughout the year.
