  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Observations of three incidents of the mass mortality of nearshore fishes are reported; each corresponded to periods of high-amplitude, long-period swells during the 1982-1983 El Niño event along the coast of central California. Members of the nearshore kelp forest fish assemblage, primarily of the genus&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Sebastes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, accounted for 96% of the observed mortalities and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;S. mystinus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt; (blue rockfish) alone accounted for 72%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
