- How long are diapausing copepods retained in the Gulf of Maine?
- Do behavior and environmental forcing influence retention and transport
of diapausing copepods?
- What are the transport pathways of diapausing copepods in the Gulf of
Maine?

- Simulate 3-D particle paths using flow fields from FVCOM (Chen et al.
2003)
- Define retention as the percentage of particles remaining in a region
for a given time
- GOM or sub-regions
- 1 July to 1 January
- Environmental forcing
- alongshore, cross-shelf winds
- Scotian Shelf inflow
- Behavior
- passive, fixed-depth, density- seeking

- Retention is high under all conditions in the deep GoM
- Least-understood processes influence retention most:
- behavior
- Scotian Shelf inflow
- Interannual variability in deep hydrography
- Transport and retention patterns lead to regional variation in the
origins of copepods emerging in spring
