Impacts of Climate and Interannual variability on the seeding and distribution of Calanus finmarchicus in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank

Proposed Biological simulations

•Individual-based models (HPB)

•Lagrangian pathways

•Zooplankton data as initial and validation fields (DG)

•Seeding vs. production hypothesis testing

•Impact of Labrador water inflow on Slope sea and GOMGB regions
