NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS
The National Marine Fisheries Service's Alaska Fisheries Science Center uses the
NOAA Technical Memorandum series to issue informal scientific and technical
publications when complete formal review and editorial processing are not
appropriate or feasible.  Documents within this series reflect sound professional
work and may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature.
The NMFS-AFSC Technical Memorandum series of the Alaska Fisheries Science
Center continues the NMFS-F/NWC series established in 1970 by the Northwest
Fisheries Center.  The new NMFS-NWFSC series will be used by the Northwest
Fisheries Science Center.
