ported by a number of staff members over the 

 years. We particularly acknowledge Paul Pristas 

 of the Southeast Fisheries Center Panama City 

 Laboratory; Chester Buchanan, presently with 

 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage, 

 Alaska; Perry Thompson with the Southeast 

 Fisheries Center Pascagoula Laboratory; and 

 Allyn Lopez, Luis Rivas, and Edwin Scott of the 

 Southeast Fisheries Center Miami Laboratory. 

 Edward Houde, William Lenarz, Eugene Naka- 

 mura, and Gary Sakagawa reviewed the manu- 

 script and we are grateful for their careful and 

 thoughtful comments. Grady Reinert prepared all 

 the charts and graphs.
