ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Elbert Ahlstrom, David Kramer, Robert Counts, Orville Ball, 

 and Robert Wisner originally identified larvae from CalCOFI 

 cruises of 1951. Ronald Whyte coded each larval fish taxon or 

 type and Rita Ford entered them into the computer. Debby Snow 

 efficiently assisted in all aspects of data editing and 

 retrieval. Cindy Meyer, Larry Zins, and James Ryan provided 

 programming assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data 

 acquisition system and provided data processing support. Ken 

 Raymond and Roy Allen helped with graphics and production of the 

 report. Lorraine Prescott and Diane Forsythe prepared the 

 manuscript for printing. Paul Smith determined statistical 

 outliers, provided assistance during geographical outlier checks 

 and offered helpful suggestions throughout the project. Izadore 

 Barrett, Director of the Southwest Fisheries Center and Reuben 

 Lasker, Chief, Coastal Fisheries Resources Division, SWFC, 

 provided the support critical to the completion of the project. 

 James Thrailkill planned CalCOFI surveys and supervised cruises, 

 data handling, and plankton sorting from 1949 to 1986 and is 

 largely responsible for the high quality of these operations. 

 Without the vision and direction of Elbert Ahlstrom and Elton 

 Sette and the dedicated efforts of the many people who collected, 

 processed, and analyzed the samples, this data base would not 

 exist.
