| HYPOTHESIS: |
||||
| C. finmarchicus - an indicator of
climate- |
||||
| driven changes in ocean circulation? |
||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| l | Since shelf
populations of C. finmarchicus are |
|||||
| not
self-sustaining and must be supplied every |
||||||
| year or every few
years from external sources, |
||||||
| we hypothesize
that their fluctuations in |
||||||
| abundance reflect
climate-driven changes in |
||||||
| ocean
circulation. |
