Juvenile fishes of 22 species collected on a rocky shore area at Arrábida (Portugal) fell into three groups: (i) incidentals (four species); (ii) those in transit to a nearby estuary (three species); and (iii) nursery residents (15 species). For groups ii and iii this habitat seems to play an important role in their early life stages.
