mining the nutritional condition of paralarval 

 loliginids. 



Acknowledgments 



Roger Hanlon and Phillip Lee provided the 

 laboratory-reared squids (culture project sup- 

 ported by the Department of Health and Human 

 Services grant RR01024-11) as well as helpful 

 comments on raising cephalopods. Robert Her- 

 schler was kind enough to let M. Vecchione use 

 his microscope for photomicrography. Ruth Gib- 

 bons prepared the plates. We appreciate reviews 

 of the manuscript by Eve Boucaud-Camou, 

 Renata Boucher-Rodoni, Roger Hanlon, 

 Katharina Mangold, and Richard Young. Eve 

 Boucaud-Camou kindly sent me several unpub- 

 lished micrographs, and a copy of her paper 

 which is in press, on the digestive glands of adult 

 Loligo. Financial support for this research was 

 provided by National Science Foundation gi'ant 

 OCE-8600541 to M. Vecchione.
