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