Acknowledgments 
This project was supported in part with funding from 
the AFSC’s Habitat and Ecological Processes Research 
Program. We thank I. Bradbury and A. Stoner for 
reviewing earlier drafts of this manuscript. M. Spen- 
cer and P. Iseri collected and shipped broodstock from 
Kodiak, AK. Boat charters were kindly provided by T. 
Tripp aboard the FV Miss O. M. Ottmar and W. Clerf 
maintained broodstock in the laboratory and assisted 
with strip-spawning. Special thanks go to C. Magel for 
his patient image analysis of hundreds of fish larvae. 
Egg and larval illustrations were provided by A. Maust 
under contract to the AFSC.
