MARGULIES: VULNERABILITY AND SENSORY DEVELOPMENT OF WHITE SEABASS 



white seabass eggs and juveniles. Many staff 

 members of the Southwest Fisheries Center in 

 La Jolla provided laboratory facihties or helpful 

 advice during the study; they are Roger Leong, 

 Eric Lynn, Bev Macewicz, Carol Kimbrell, 

 Sharon Kramer, Steve Swailes, Mark Draw- 

 bridge, Gail Theilacker, and Geoffrey Moser. 

 Henry OiT, Roy Allen, and Ron Keefe provided 

 graphics assistance. John Hunter and two 

 anonymous referees reviewed earlier versions of 

 the manuscript. I am especially gi'ateful to John 

 Hunter and the late Dr. Reuben Lasker for pro- 

 viding the opportunity to undertake this re- 

 search project. Financial support was provided 

 by a NOAA postdoctoral fellowship through the 

 Associateships Program of the National Re- 

 search Council.
