Acknowledgments 



The authors greatly appreciate discussions with L. Hols- 

 inger and D. Viele of the National Marine Fisheries Ser- 

 vice, Southwest Regional Office. We also wish to thank 

 an anonymous referee for pointing out that the noncen- 

 tral ^-distribution can be straightforwardly simulated if 

 software for the Tg^ function is unavailable. The manu- 

 script was reviewed by D. Viele, L. Goldwasser, and C. 

 Grimes. Any remaining errors are the responsibility of the 

 authors.
