Abstract
Fish were collected from Taylor's intertidal salt marsh creek using a blocknet from July 1992 to May 1994. The ichthyofaunal assemblage was dominated by juvenile euryhaline mahe species, with the mugilids being the most important taxon. High variability in both the numbers and mass of fishes was found both on an annual and seasonal basis. Despite this variability, seasonal trends for a number of species were apparent. The standing stock and density of fish found on Taylor's intertidal salt marsh creek fell within the range of reported values for other estuarine habitats.Keywords
