Patterns of Energy Flow and Utilization
                  on Georges Bank
Objective:  Provide broad ecosystem context for interpretation
of the population dynamics of the Georges Bank target species
with explicit consideration of:
• The microbial food web
• New and recycled primary production
• Spatial heterogeneity of production on the bank
• Changes in biomass and production at higher trophic
   levels in response to exploitation
• Effects of environmental forcing on production  processes
