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...

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...
