Acknowledgments 



We thank S. Riemer and B. Wright of the Oregon Depart- 

 ment of Fish & Wildlife for their extensive contributions 

 to survey work, counting, and database management. D. 

 McAllister of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game 

 conducted many of the surveys in southeastern Alaska. 

 We thank K. Raum-Suryan for drafting Figure 1. R. 

 DeLong and R. Small reviewed and provided useful com- 

 ments on an earlier draft of this manuscript. We appre- 

 ciate the timely comments and suggestions provided by 

 three anonymous reviewers and by the editorial staff of 

 Fishery Bulletin. Surveys in the U. S. were conducted 

 under research permits from the Office of Protected 

 Resources of the National Marine Fisheries Service and 

 in Canada with authorization of Fisheries and Oceans 

 Canada. Surveys in Oregon were conducted under spe- 

 cial use permits granted by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife 

 Service, Oregon Coastal Refuge Complex, and surveys at 

 protected sites in B.C. were authorized by the Ecological 

 Reserves Unit of B.C. Parks and Parks Canada.
