Summary
ØSpatial- and temporal- dependent mortality rate play a key role in determining population dynamics of Pcal.
ØPopulation from outside of the Bank (primarily wGoM) is an important source for GB Pcal
population; GB population
is unlikely to self-sustain.
ØBoth T and Phytoplankton co-varying with Pcal Population; The seasonality might be triggered primarily
by temperature variation.
ØNext step: Model other copepod species (need detailed vital rates and temporal/spatial distribution
information)
