 strength of the various spawnings of bluefish. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



John R. Clark, now of the Conservation Founda- 

 tion, Washington, D.C., while at Sandy Hook 

 Laboratory, supervised the initial work on 

 bluefish larvae from the RV Dolphin collections. 

 Several people helped in use of unpublished data 

 in preparation of this paper: Stuart Wilk, NMFS, 

 Sandy Hook, N.J.; David Deuel, NMFS, Nar- 

 ragansett, R.L; and Sally L. Richardson, Oregon 

 State University. Omie Tillet, Nags Head, N.C., 

 helped make the sampling near Cape Hatteras in 

 spring 1972 pleasurable as well as successful.
