James Zweifel (Southwest Fisheries Center La 

 Jolla Laboratory) fit the Laird-Gompertz growth 

 equation to the data and derived the length- 

 weight relationship from the grovd;h equations. 

 Carol Sanchez (Southwest Fisheries Center La 

 Jolla Laboratory) assisted in all phases of this 

 work. Reuben Lasker and Gary Stauffer (South- 

 west Fisheries Center La Jolla Laboratory) re- 

 viewed the manuscript.
