Questions and Hypotheses
• The role of advection
• Advective supply of Calanus finmarchicus and Pseudocalanus
spp. copepodites to GB during January-April and the role of
winds
• Advective supply and loss of Calanus finmarchicus to GOM
basin diapausing populations during June-January
• Role of advection for copepod populations on GB
• Population dynamics of zooplankton on GB and
the GOM
• Stratification and variability in food supply: the role of food
limitation
• Mortality and invertebrate predation
