Table 2. Physical oceanographic processes associated with population regulation under diverse hypotheses.

Population Feature | Hypothesis | Physical Oceanographic Process | Key Biological Features
--- | --- | --- | ---
Pattern | migration triangle | persistent residual currents | drift from spawing area to nursery area
Pattern | member-vagrant | re-circulation | limitation of dispersal from spawning area
Abundance | match-mismatch | not relevant | density-dependent larval feeding
Abundance | member-vagrant | size of recirculation feature | density-dependent vagrancy
Variability | match-mismatch | seasonal vertical stratification | larval feeding success
Variability | stable ocean | summer wind mixing | larval feeding success
Variability | encounter rate | summer turbulent mixing | larval feeding success
Variability | member-vagrant | horizontal circulation | vagrancy from appropriate distributional areas
