ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The senior author originally identified larvae from CalCOFI 

 cruise 7712. Elizabeth Stevens, Morgan Busby and Susan D'Vincent 

 identified larvae from cruises of 1978. 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. James Ryan provided programming 

 assistance. Dorothy Roll designed the CalCOFI data acquisition 

 system and provided data processing support. Ken Raymond, Roy 

 Allen, and Henry Orr helped with graphics and production of the 

 report. Lorraine Prescott 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 provided support critical to the 

 completion of the project. James Thrailkill planned CalCOFI 

 surveys and supervised cruises, data handling, and plankton
