ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br />The authors express their sincere appreciation to DOW staff members Bill Weiler and Judi <br />Reeve for their extensive and valuable contributions of information, data, and direct assistance in <br />preparing this Assessment. We also acknowledge the timely assistance of the Aquatic Wildlife <br />Section staff biologists, area biologists, program managers, researchers, and hatchery <br />superintendents and technicians who supplied us with data, analyses, and ideas upon request. <br />Clearly, our task would not have been possible without the help of this group of dedicated <br />Division of Wildlife professionals. <br />Finally, the authors would like to acknowledge the contribution of the many reviewers who <br />voluntarily provided technical peer review under very short time frames.
