ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We are grateful for the assistance and co- 

 operation of numerous people at the Southwest 

 Fisheries Center Honolulu Laboratory, National 

 Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA. We also thank 

 D. M. Kuba, who was responsible for obtaining the 

 vertical series of samples when an unforeseen op- 

 portunity arose during cruise 47 of the Townsend 

 Cromwell; P. J. Wagner, who assisted in iden- 

 tification of the material; and M. A. Barnett of 

 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who kindly 

 provided data on myctophids taken in the central 

 water mass. 



A large part of this report was adapted from 

 Hartmann's Master's of Science dissertation 

 (Department of Oceanography, University of 

 Hawaii). Partial support was derived from NSF 

 GB-23931 to the University of Hawaii.
