R. Daniels, W. Saul, and C. L. Smith assisted with the collec- 

 tions at the New York State Museum, the Academy of Nat- 

 ural Sciences of Philadelphia, and the American Museum 

 of Natural History, respectively. Data for the entire Hudson 

 River were collected for Consolidated Edison and were 

 made available by J. Young and G. Sentell of EA Engi- 

 neering, Science, and Technology. B. Young, L. Pasciutti, 

 M. Penski, and other biologists of the New York State 

 Department of Environmental Protection helped collect 

 data for Haverstraw Bay and Jamaica Bay. Trawling data 

 were collected by the Northeast Fishery Science Center, 

 National Marine Fisheries Service, and made available 

 by T. Azarovitz and B. O'Gorman. Valuable discussions or 

 comments were provided by K. Able, F. Berry, E. Blair, D. 

 Conover, R. Crabtree. J. Hare. S. Kaiser, R. Loveland, W. 

 Smith-Vaniz, and J. Waldman. Final data analyses and 

 manuscript preparation were completed while R.S.M. was 

 employed at he Florida Marine Research Institute. Edito- 

 rial assistance was provided by L. French, J. Leiby, and J. 

 Quinn. This research was supported in part by a Tibor T. 

 Polgar Fellowship to R.S.M. from the Hudson River Foun- 

 dation. We are grateful to all of the above.
