the laboratory. Beverly Macewicz (University of 

 California, San Diego) did all microtechnique 

 work and assisted in the histological classification 

 of the ovaries. Thomas Mickel (University of 

 California, San Diego) assisted in the analysis of 

 fecundity and estimation of ovum diameters. We 

 thank James Zweifel (SWFC) for permitting us to 

 use his unpublished method for estimating 

 confidence intervals for the mean of a negative 

 binomial distribution and for his analytical work 

 on estimating ovum diameters from the gonad 

 weight-female weight relation.
