gadid larvae and juveniles and provided us with 

 unpublished data and gave other assistance. 



A number of workers graciously provided us 

 with samples of larval and juvenile gadids without 

 which we could not have completed this work. We 

 therefore thank: Douglas Rabin, Gary Walters, 

 William Karp, and Bruce Miller, FRI; T. Saunders 

 English, Department of Oceanography, University 

 of Washington; Jay Quast and Bruce Wing, 

 NWAFC Auke Bay Laboratory, NMFS, NOAA; 

 James Blackburn, Alaska Department of Fish and 

 Game (ADF&G), Kodiak; Lou Barton, ADF&G, 

 Anchorage; and Rollin Daggett, Ecology Consul- 

 tants, Inc., Fort Collins, Colo. 



Norman Wilimovsky, University of British Co- 

 lumbia, Vancouver, loaned us radiographs of adult 

 pollock. Elbert Ahlstrom, Southwest Fisheries 

 Center La Jolla Laboratory, NMFS, NOAA, pro- 

 vided stimulating discussions on gadid osteology 

 and on the interpretation of caudal fin develop- 

 ment. 



A draft of this manuscript benefited from re- 

 views by Michael Fahay, Northeast Fisheries 

 Center Sandy Hook Laboratory, NMFS, NOAA, 

 and Arthur Kendall.
