Protection Agency, under the direct ion of M r. Allan Beck, and foodscientists 

 at the University of Rhode Island. This cooperative effort has promoted an 

 investigation that neither group could have accomplished easily on an 

 independent basis. 



This work was supported by the Environmental Protection Agency under 

 Grant #R-803818 and the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station. This 

 manuscript is Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station Contribution 

 Number 1766. 



Thanks is given to Allan Beck, Grace MacPhee, Bruce Lancaster and 

 Drs. Robert Barkman and Hugh Poston for their contributions. 

 Additionally, we thank the personnel at the Tunison Laboratory of Fish 

 Nutrition for formulating and pelleting the artificial diets, and providing 

 advice and guidance to the total project. Thanks is also given to Cindy 

 Seidel for typing of the manuscript.
