Surf zone hydrodynamics vary along shorelines potentially affecting the delivery of larvae
and zooplankton subsidies to intertidal communities, and, hence, the intensity of …

The vertical and horizontal distribution of larval stages of the most common intertidal
barnacle and mussel species were characterized in near-shore waters of central Chile …

Larval transport by marine organisms is regulated by a combination of vertical swimming
behavior and seasonal reproductive timing, but recent studies suggest horizontal swimming …

Marine populations are often typified by large annual variations in the number of larvae that
return to the adult population. The Dungeness crab Cancer (Metacarcinus) magister is an …

Increased freshwater discharge during spring/summer from the Fraser River into Puget
Sound makes this region ideal to study the effects of low salinity (~ 20‰) on the vertical …

Marine invertebrate larvae are highly phototactic during early stages of larval period and
greatly influenced by light, colour and other physio-chemical properties of the substrates. In …

Sections of the coastal Gulf of Maine (GoME) differ in circulation, temperature, salinity, and
primary production. These regional differences as well as their temporal changes, together …

Most marine animals reproduce via a dispersing planktonic larval phase. Tiny, poorly
swimming larvae develop at sea as they are transported by ocean currents. Whether they …

Abstract Keywords: Dungeness crab (Cancermagister) is an important commercial species
along the west coast of North America, and its population dynamics are highly influenced by …
