Acknowledgments 



The assistance of Dr. David Au in making the statis- 

 tical comparisons between various methods of measur- 

 ing apparent abundance and other editorial sugges- 

 tions is greatly appreciated. The assistance of Dr. Nancy 

 Lo, Dr. Larry Jacobsen, Cindy Meyer, Richard Tauber, 

 Lorraine Prescott, and Karen Handschuh of NMFS, 

 and of Gordon Broadhead and Tom Barnes of Living 

 Marine Resources, Inc., for their review and contribu- 

 tion to the development of this paper is appreciated. 

 To the aerial fish spotters who have provided at least 

 67,000 flight hours of observation to the aerial pro- 

 gram, I express my thanks.
