PREFACE xvii 



David W. McDaniel; Fred P. Meyer; Cliff Millenbach; Edward R. Miller; 

 Wayne Olson; Keith M. Pratt; William H. Rogers; Raymond C. Simon; 

 Charlie E. Smith; R. Oneal Smitherman; Robert R. Stickney; Gregory J. 

 Thomason; Otto W. Tiemeier; Thomas L. Wellborn; Harry Westers. All 

 these people improved the manual's accuracy and content. Carl R. Sul- 

 livan, Executive Director of the American Fisheries Society, helped to 

 stimulate the creation of our task force, and his continued interest in this 

 project has been a source of strength. 



There was much encouragement and effort by many other people who 

 have gone unmentioned. To all those who took any part in the develop- 

 ment and publication of the Fish Hatchery Management, we express our grat- 

 itude. 



Lastly, I would like to recognize the guidance, perserverance, tact, and 

 friendship shown to the task force by Robert Kendall, who provided edi- 

 torial review through the American Fisheries Society. Without his involve- 

 ment, the task force would not have accomplished its goal. 



Robert G. Piper, 

 Editor-in-Chief
