 Dr. David Rice, Jr. (LLNL) performed chemical analyses of the fish. Dr. Peter Thomas 

 (University of Texas) performed hormone analyses of fish plasma. Dr. Loveday Conquest 

 (University of Washington) provided advice on statistical methods for data analyses. Mr. 

 Kirk Van Ness (NOAA) assisted in sampling site selection. Ms. Charlene Swartzell
