Pelagic Eggs of Fishes taken on the Irish Coast

During the years 1967 to 1971 inclusive, tow-netting for pelagic fish eggs was carried out at 13 stations on the east, south and west coasts of Ireland. Sampling was limited to the period late April to mid-June. Sampling stations included estuaries, bays and the open coast. A total of 16,902 identified eggs was taken, belonging to 27 species or groups. This paper discusses the eggs identified and the conditions under which they were found.
