merce, through a grant awarded to the University 

 of Rhode Island. The University of Rhode Island's 

 Computer Laboratory provided processing time 

 and facilities. The Northeast Fisheries Center, 

 National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, gen- 

 erously provided some of the unpublished data 

 prior to my employment by that agency.
