NEILSON ET AL.: DIMENSIONS OF SALMONID OTOLITH NUCLEI 



lation of the D^ statistic. Barbara Puselja and 

 Tracey Crawford assisted with otolith preparation 

 and examination. Ron Long, Department of 

 Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, pre- 

 pared the photographs. This work was supported 

 by a Graduate Research Engineering and 

 Technology Award to G. H. Geen from the British 

 Columbia Secretariat of Science, Research and 

 Development, and a Canada Department of 

 Fisheries and Oceans Subvention Grant.
