WALTERS: ECOLOGY OF HAWAIIAN SERGESTID SHRIMPS 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



This paper is based on a Ph.D. dissertation 

 submitted to the Department of Oceanography, 

 University of Hawaii. I thank my committee, 

 Richard Young (Chairman), John Caperon, 

 Thomas Clarke, Jed Hirota, and John Stimpson for 

 their advice and criticism. Steven Amesbury, 

 Sherwood Maynard, Fletcher Riggs, and Richard 

 Spencer also helped in collecting and analyzing 

 data. David Judkins and Henry Donaldson sup- 

 plied data from other places; Judkins identified 

 some of the more obscure sergestid species. 

 Elizabeth Kampa furnished unpublished light 

 intensity measurements from north of Oahu. 

 Dennis Kam supplied contouring subroutines for 

 the vertical distribution figures and helped debug 

 my computer programs. This work was supported 

 in part by NSF grants GB-20993 and GA-33659.
