RICE and HARRISON: COPPER SENSITIVITY OF PACIFIC HERRING 



viewing the manuscript and for his helpful criti- 

 cisms and suggestions throughout this study. The 

 statistical program used was prepared by John 

 Koshiver, University of California, Lawrence 

 Livermore Laboratory, and we thank him. We also 

 acknowledge the helpful comments regarding the 

 handling of herring embryos and larvae from 

 Maxwell E. Eldridge, Southwest Fisheries Center 

 Tiburon Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries 

 Service, NOAA. We especially thank John 

 Kriegsman, Larry Schramm, and Bob Fountain of 

 the California Department of Fish and Game for 

 their timely information on the location of herring 

 spawn and for their aid in the collection of these 

 eggs. This work was performed under the auspices 

 of the U.S. Energy Research and Development 

 Administration Contract No. W-7405-ENG-48.
