EVERSON ET AL.: MATURATION AND REPRODUCTION IN TWO HAWAIIAN SNAPPERS 



Fish Market; Nishimura Fish Market; Nobu's 

 Fishmarket; and Hawaii Seafood Products, Inc. 

 Special thanks go to the buyers who let us handle 

 and measure their valuable fish, and who later 

 supphed us with gonad samples. We would also 

 like to thank reviewers S. Ralston, G. Boehlert, 

 J. Uchiyama, C. Grimes, and S. Goldberg; all 

 provided helpful suggestions. In addition, K. 

 Kawamoto acted as auction Haison, and S. Ral- 

 ston and D. Tagami provided invaluable statis- 

 tical support. R. Shimojo provided many of the 

 histological preparations.
