"... In PAGE 3: ... Smelts were removed from the quot;other species quot; group and moved to the forage fish group beginning in 1999 as a result of fishery management plan (FMP) amendments 36 and 39 to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska groundfish FMPs. Individual other species known or suspected to occur in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands are listed in Table14 - 1. The species list was compiled from AFSC survey and fishery observer catch records, and is considered more comprehensive and up-to-date for the region than the general literature (Hart, 1973; Eschmeyer et al.... In PAGE 5: ... Maximum age reported for the longnose skate was 13 years, although there are many difficulties with ageing skates (Zeiner and Wolf, 1993). Little information is available on reproductive frequency in skate species, or on any Bathyraja species life history, but Table14 - 2 lists our best information on life history for all species in Alaska. Although little specific life history information exists for most skate species, they are generally thought to have limited reproductive capacity, and thus be vulnerable to overfishing (Sosebee, 1998).... In PAGE 7: ... FISHERY INFORMATION There is currently little directed fishing for species in this category in Alaska. Squid and other species are taken incidentally in target fisheries for groundfish, and aggregate catches of squid species (Table 14- 3) and the other species complex ( Table14 - 4) are tracked inseason by the Alaska Regional Office. Catch estimates by species group Because annual other species catches are reported in aggregate, catches by species group or individual species must be estimated using data reported by fishery observers.... In PAGE 7: ... The ratio of observed other species group catch to observed target species catch was multiplied by the blend-estimated target species catch within that area, gear, and target fishery. Total annual catch by species group has been relatively stable between 1997-2000 ( Table14 - 5). Estimated annual species group catches are reported by target, gear, and area in Tables 14- 6 through 14- 9 for 1997-2000.... In PAGE 8: ... Catch history for BSAI Squid and Other Species Squid are generally taken incidentally in target fisheries for pollock but have been the target of Japanese and Republic of Korea trawl fisheries in the past. Reported catches since 1977 are shown in Table14 - 3. After reaching 9,000 mt in 1978, total squid catches have steadily declined to only a few hundred tons in 1987-95.... In PAGE 8: ... In 1973-76 catches declined to a range of 33,000-70,000 mt annually as total catches of groundfish also declined. Catches of quot;other species quot; were relatively high from 1977-1981 (43,000-73,000 mt), but thereafter declined to a range of 5,000-13,000 mt in 1984-89 despite increased catches of total groundfish ( Table14 - 4). Part of the reason may be incomplete reporting of domestic catches before 1990.... In PAGE 9: ... It is clear that the AFSC bottom trawl surveys greatly underestimate squid abundance. Data from AFSC surveys provide the only abundance estimates for the various groups and species comprising the quot;other species quot; category ( Table14 - 10). Biomass estimates for the eastern Bering Sea are from a standard survey area of the continental shelf.... In PAGE 9: ... Stations as deep as 900 m were sampled in the 1980, 1983 and 1986 Aleutian Islands bottom trawl surveys, while surveys in 1991 and 1994 obtained samples only to a depth of 500 m. The actual catches made by research vessels are shown in Table14 - 11. Biomass estimates from AFSC surveys illustrate that sculpins were the major component of the other species complex until 1986, after which the biomass of skates exceeded that of sculpins.... In PAGE 9: ... However, sleeper sharks were the third highest CPUE on this pilot survey, indicating that they can be sampled by bottom trawls. This recent information suggests that it is the location and timing of the EBS trawl survey on the shelf during the summer, and not the use of bottom trawls for sampling which results in the apparently low biomass estimates for sharks in the EBS shelf ( Table14 - 10). Changes in distribution of particular species may also account for some of the biomass fluctuation of a group.... In PAGE 9: ... For instance, a cold water sculpin species, the butterfly sculpin (Hemilepidotus papilio), has been found to intrude into the northern portion of the survey area to a greater extent in some years than others, and accounts for some of the fluctuations in biomass of the sculpin group. Catch relative to biomass based on survey estimates Estimated skate and sculpin bycatch in the BSAI groundfish fisheries has ranged between 1-4% of their respective survey biomass ( Table14... In PAGE 10: ... If this is the case, current (1992-96) bycatch of grenadiers in the BSAI groundfish fisheries represents between 0.5 and 2% of the grenadier biomass in the BSAI region ( Table14 - 10). ANALYTIC APPROACH, MODEL EVALUATION, AND RESULTS Please see 1999 GOA SAFE Appendix E for a description of an experimental modeling approach and its results for GOA other species.... In PAGE 11: ... Several ABC and OFL options are available using the current tier 5 criteria for each species group within the other species category. Within tier 5, ABCs and OFLs are presented which are based on the most recent biomass estimate, the average biomass from the 1990 apos;s, and the average biomass over the entire survey time series for each species group ( Table14 - 13). These alternative ABCs and OFLs reflect our current understanding of the basic biology for each species group while protecting the less productive components of the category.... In PAGE 11: ... Bycatch of squid is reduced by limiting pelagic trawl fishing within relatively small areas of the shelf break; this has already been demonstrated through the indirect effects of closures related to Stellar sea lions. In 1999 and 2000, the pollock fishery was restricted or removed from one area of historically concentrated squid bycatch and squid catch was cut to less than half that observed in 1997-1998 ( Table14 - 1). Another option for bycatch reduction is the use of specialized gear.... In PAGE 18: ...TABLES Table14 - 1.

"... In PAGE 11: ... In the data, however, long yields and yield spreads exhibit, respectively, higher and lower autocorrelations than the short rate. A related issue is the decline in volatility with maturity, such as the standard deviations of one-month changes reported in Table2 B. These models imply less variability of long rates than short rates, but the rate of decline is greater in both models than we see in the data.... In PAGE 18: ... In fact, innovations in interest rates appear markedly non-normal, typically with fat tails indicative of kurtosis. Table2 B is suggestive: one-month changes in the short rate exhibit excess kurtosis of about 10. Since departures from normality can have a signi cant impact on prices of options and related derivatives, we discuss them at some length.... In PAGE 19: ...

This value is computed from the residuals of a rst-order autoregression for the short rate.... In PAGE 28: ... In the Vasicek model, a unit fall in the short rate is associated with a rise in the logarithm of the n-period bond price of (1 + apos; + + apos;n?1) = (1 ? apos;n)=(1 ? apos;), which follows (with some e ort) from (12). Thus mean reversion attenuates the impact of short rate innovations on long bond prices, an implication we see in the declining volatilities of yield changes with maturity ( Table2 B). These patterns come from a relatively simple model, but they illustrate the challenges facing a practitioner who would like to value options that vary across both maturities (option and bond).... ..."

"... In PAGE 16: ... Since the one day response may be driving the response in the longer 20 day window, we isolate the immediate response from the 20 day estimation interval by choosing a third non-overlapping sampling interval, which covers a five-day period one week before the stock split and a five-day period one week after the stock split. The results using this sampling interval are reported in Table6 . We find little evidence of a difference in short and long term liquidity response to stock splits on NYSE .... ..."
