Faunal shift in southern California's coastal fishes: A new assemblage and trophic structure takes hold

Trends in coastal fish abundance indices were examined using a novel 39-year (1972–2010) time series recorded at southern California coastal power plants. Since 1972, the annual mean abundance index significantly declined (r2 = 0.45, p
