Nocturnal light and lunar cycle effects on diel migration of micronekton

Creator:

Benoit-Bird, Kelly J., Au, Whitlow W. L., and Wisdom, Daniel W.

Abstract:

The roles of nocturnal light and lunar phase in the diel migration of micronekton from a nearshore scattering layer were examined. Migration patterns were measured over six complete lunar cycles using moored upwardlooking echosounders while nocturnal surface irradiance was recorded. We hypothesized that animals would remain at a constant isolume...
