I'm having problems creating an axis label for a plot.

I'd like to replace the "x" with an interpunct symbol (dot). Any
suggestions how to do this?
I see you have seen other efforts in this direction, but thought I
would throw in something different. I think the 'interpunct' symbol is
already include in plotmath as '%.%'
.... and I cannot resist attempting to greatly simplify that complex
expression. Most uses of the plotmath 'paste' function I see in other
postings are both redundant and obfuscatory (at least I think that
should be a word). And parentheses behave as expected .... And you do
not need to use quotes around anything that is not a plotmath
function. I think this does the same construction and is MUCH easier
to read:
ylab = expression( CPUE(fish %.% h^{-1}) )
