ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I am especially grateful to Kazuhiro Mizue, University of 

 Tokyo, and to Kazumoto Yoshida, Far Seas Fisheries Re- 

 search Laboratory, for the thesis suggestion, encouragement 

 and deep personal interest, and for their generous assistance 

 given me to make this possible. 



I am also appreciative for the support and opportunity given 

 me to complete this study by Michael F. Tillman, Director, 

 National Marine Mammal Laboratory, and by Charles Fow- 

 ler, Manager, Northern Fur Seal Research Program, National 

 Marine Mammal Laboratory. 



I am also indebeted to my colleague and friend, Clifford H. 

 Fiscus, whom I have had the pleasure to be associated with, 

 and to work under his general supervision while engaged in 

 pelagic fur seal research. 



Special thanks and credit are due to Rae Mitsuoka for her 

 timely translations; James Peacock and Melody Tune for 

 many of the graphics; to Jerry Hornof and Freya Skarin for 

 computer plots; and to Pat Cook, librarian, for her assistance 

 in sending me the requested reference material. I am indebted 

 to Joyce Waychoff and Joanne Wejak for typing the initial 

 rough draft and to Muriel Wood for typing the final draft of 

 the paper. To all these people, I am grateful for their logistic 

 and technical support.
