 sistance was provided by Shailer Cummings 

 (AOML) and the crew of the NOAA ship Miller Free- 

 man. Susan Picquelle and Patricia Brown (Alaska 

 Fisheries Science Center) assisted in statistical 

 analysis. Art Kendall, Gary Stauffer, JeffNapp, Bori 

 Olla, Susan Sogard, and Michael Davis (AFSC), R.
