Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: In an effort to elucidate the mechanism responsible for large-scale zooplankton variability in the California Current, zooplankton biomass and hydrographic data from the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation data set and wind data from Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center model analyses have been used to construct a box model biomass budget. The...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Keister, Julie Eileen
Abstract:: In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...

Full Text:: on Zooplankton Distribution in the Northern California Current. Abstract approved

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...
