TEGNER ET AL.: BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF RED ABALONES 



breeding patterns, and natural mortality rates. Our 

 study underscores the need for better data on 

 California abalone species. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The 41 divers who made this large field program 

 possible are listed in Haaker et al. (1986); special 

 thanks to C. Andrews, R. Butler, R. DeFelice, P. 

 Haaker, K. Henderson, K. Kopley, M. Marshall, D. 

 Parker, and R. Walker, and to the crews of the MV 

 Truth (1978-81) and MV Conception (1982 and 

 1984). R. Burge designed the field program. We 

 thank P. Haaker and D. Parker for unpublished 

 CDFG data, P. Parnell and E. Venrick for help with 

 statistics, P. Parnell for the contour plots, and C. 

 Francis for his review of the model. P. Haaker, K. 

 Henderson, D. Parker, S. Shepherd, and P. Sluc- 

 zanowski contributed comments on the manuscript.
