Wood and Cadrin: Mortality and movement of Limanda ferrugmea tagged off New England 
287 
Acknowledgments 
Fishermen and researchers cooperated to develop the 
general approach and technical details of this tagging 
study. Many fishermen have contributed to this study, 
including 3 who were involved in all aspects of planning 
and decision-making: D. Goethel, R. Avila, and F. Mat- 
tera. Many scientists collaborated on this study, helping 
with tagging and other at-sea work, data modeling and 
analyses, and database development and maintenance. 
Specific thanks go to A. Westwood, J. Moser, L. Alade, 
D. Martins, G, DeCelles, D. Goethel, T. Miller, S. Kubis, 
and C. Sumi. This study was funded by the Northeast 
Consortium, the Northeast Cooperative Research Pro- 
gram of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, the 
NMFS Stock Assessment Improvement Program, and 
the Massachusetts Marine Fisheries Institute.
