Influence of River Plumes on Larval Fish Distributions, Predator-Prey Relationships, and Fitness in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Creator:

Axler, Kelia E.

Abstract:

River plumes discharging into continental shelf waters have the potential to influence patchiness of larval fishes, prey, and gelatinous predators. Using a high-resolution plankton imaging system, we sampled larval fishes, copepods, and planktonic predators (ctenophores, hydromedusae, and siphonophores) across multiple freshwater pulses exiting the mouth of Mobile Bay (Alabama, USA)...
