Are GB copepods
endogenous to GOM or exogenous (SS,
|
|
|
Slope water)?
|
|
|

Deep-water
circulation affects supply/loss to basins:
|
|
|
|
• |
retaining and/or
concentrating animals in the basin gyres
|
|
|
|
• |
advectively
connecting the basin populations residing above the
|
|
|
shallowest closed
isobath

|
|
|
• |
advecting Slope
Water animals into the GOM through the NEC

Exchange of slope
and basin copepod populations

profoundly
affected by strongly interannually varying
