ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We express our appreciation to George Grice for 

 assistance and discussion in the development of 

 this project; to David Menzel for permission to use 

 his unpublished data resulting from cruises All 52 

 and All 48; and to Allan Be for permission to use 

 his biomass data. Woollcott Smith provided help- 

 ful comments regarding statistical procedures. 

 Loren Haury and Peter Ortner critically read the 

 manuscript.
