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?
