Ecological data are given for young‐of‐the‐year pompano and permit collected in the Tampa Bay, Florida, area for 1962 and 1963. Additional data are included from stocks in the Tampa Bay and St. Augustine areas of Florida in 1967 and 1968. Distribution, seasonal occurrence, abundance, spawning, growth rates, food preferences, parasites and disease are included for each species. The occurrence of these fish with respect to water temperature, salinity, oxygen, and pH is discussed.
