SCHWARTZ AND PORTER: FISHES. MACROINVERTEBRATES OFF NORTH CAROLINA 



resolve what permits a calico scallop bed to exist. LITERATURE CITED 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Many contributed to the success and completion 

 of this study which was supported as Grant 456 of 

 the North Carolina Board of Science and Technol- 

 ogy. Foremost was the hard-working, dependable, 

 and conscientious Eugene Pond who served as our 

 field assistant and who contributed to all facets of 

 the projects far beyond the call of duty. These 

 efforts extended over many long hours enduring 

 the calm and not so calm Atlantic Ocean. The 

 wholehearted support and assistance by members 

 of the fishing fleet and their shore based represen- 

 tatives did much to make the project a success. 

 Notable among these were: C. Willis and crew of 

 the Ensign and C. Davis of Davis Fish Co., 

 Beaufort, N.C.; W. Ipock and crew of the Seven 

 Brothers; the captain and crew of MV Ken Pat of 

 Styron's Seafood Company, Beaufort; and O. Ful- 

 ford of Harkers Island, N.C. 



Cruises aboard the Eastward were as parts of 

 programs of F. Schwartz and W. Woods, Institute 

 of Marine Sciences, Morehead City. R. Barber, J. 

 Newton, G. Newton, and G. Kelly, Duke Marine 

 Lab., were most helpful during these cruises. 

 Work aboard the chartered Beveridge was made 

 possible with the assistance of J. Willis, J. 

 Costlow, and N. Hill. Student assistants during 

 various cruises were W. Link, D. Pettipas, S. Bor- 

 tone, and T. Herbert. Laboratory assistants were 

 D. Willis, V. Ebron, D. Oakley, A. Midgett, M. 

 Bortone, and R. Baldree. K. West prepared the 

 computer analyses. 



The late Harry Davis, Atlantic Estuarine 

 Fisheries Center, National Marine Fisheries Ser- 

 vice (NMFS), NOAA, Beaufort, supplied data for 

 Table 2. M. Downy, U.S. National Museum, 

 Washington, D.C., assisted with several starfish 

 determinations. J. Lewis was instrumental in 

 handling procurement and supplies. R. Baldree 

 and B. Bright typed the final report. G. Miller, 

 Southeast Fisheries Center, NMFS, NOAA, 

 Miami, Fla., contributed helpful comments on 

 Halichoeres. R. Cummins and S. B. Drummond 

 and the crew of the George M. Bowers provided 

 space for one of us (HJP) to participate during the 

 RUFAS survey of some of the North Carolina scal- 

 lop beds. 



In galley: we anticipate Rick Dawson's revision 

 of Stenotomus and list our S. caprinus as S. acu- 

 leatus.
