Population dynamics: stratification and food
Questions

•How does interannual variability in heat fluxes and horizontal freshwater fluxes modify the onset of stratification and subsequent primary production in the GOM and SF? •What is the relationship between stratification and the strength and timing of copepod food limitation? •How does the timing and location of the winter bloom over the GOM affect the population structure of copepods coming onto GB? •Can food limitation and the absence of deep resting stage explain why Pseudocalanus are not observed over the Central GOM?
