Marine teleost fishes often experience over 99% mortality in the early life stages (eggs and larvae), yet larval survival is essential to population sustainability. Marine fish larvae from a wide range of families display elaborate, delicate features that bear little resemblance to adult forms and hinder their swimming escape ability...

Ocean fronts represent productive regions of the ocean, but predator-prey interactions within these features are
poorly understood partially due to the coarse-scale and biases of net-based sampling methods. We used the In
Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System (ISIIS) to sample across a front near the Georges Bank shelf edge on two...

Mesoscale fronts occur frequently in many coastal areas and often are sites of elevated
productivity; however, knowledge of the fine-scale distribution of zooplankton at these
fronts is lacking, particularly within the mid-trophic levels. Furthermore, small (<13 cm) gelatinous
zooplankton are ubiquitous, but are under-studied, and their abundances underestimated
due to...
