ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />

This study was originally conceived by David Armstrong <strong>and</strong> some of the<br />

participants of the 1982 North Aleutian Shelf synthesis meetings.<br />

NOAA/NOS scientists including Lyman Thorsteinson <strong>and</strong> Steven Zimmerman<br />

further defined the research needs that led to this program. Allan<br />

Vogel was principal investigator for the plankton component, Paul<br />

Fishman was principal investigator for the epibenthic <strong>and</strong> fisheries<br />

component, <strong>and</strong> David Armstrong was a co-investigator on all aspects of<br />

the species biology. Gregory McMurray was responsible for the ancillary<br />

physical data <strong>and</strong> overall project management. Discussions between the<br />

authors <strong>and</strong> with NOAA/NOS advisors Lyman Thorsteinson <strong>and</strong> Jawed Hameedi<br />

brought the project to its final scope <strong>and</strong> content. Discussions with<br />

Robert Cimberg, VTN, who worked in Izembek Lagoon during 1982, <strong>and</strong><br />

Murray Hayes <strong>and</strong> Bob Otto, National Marine Fisheries Service, were also<br />

helpful for sampling strategy.-<br />

Field work for this project was performed aboard the NOAA ship Miller<br />

Freeman; the efforts of its officers <strong>and</strong> crew are gratefully acknowledged.<br />

Particular thanks are expressed for the efforts of: Cdr.<br />

Michael Fleming <strong>and</strong> Lt. Cdr. Ronald Sellers; Laison Lts. Craig Berg, Jim<br />

Conrad <strong>and</strong> Lew Consiglieri; Chief Boatswain Bud Gerds; Lead Fishermen<br />

Rick Petrusiak <strong>and</strong> Doug Lemire; <strong>and</strong> Survey Technicians Gary Shigenaka<br />

<strong>and</strong> Robin Meyer. Lt. Joe Talbot, U.S. Coast Guard, was very helpful in<br />

expediting logistics. George Lapiene of OCSEAP assisted with ship <strong>and</strong><br />

equipment logistics.<br />

Thanks are also due to the additional members of the scientific crew who<br />

performed the field work. The following volunteers <strong>and</strong> conscripts<br />

assisted field sampling: Anamaria Escofet, Chris Rogers <strong>and</strong> Peggy<br />

Russell (University of Washington); Rich Hevner <strong>and</strong> Tom Moylan (Clatsop<br />

Community College); Peter Hagen (Pacific International Halibut Commission);<br />
