ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



This research was funded by the National Undersea Research 

 Program at Avery Point, CT (NURP-UCAP) . We are grateful for the 

 ship and submersible time provided during summers 1984-87. We 

 thank other members of the ARRG (Ammen Rock Research Group) team, 

 Robert Steneck and Robert Vadas for productive collaboration on 

 research cruises.
