Comparison of average larval fish vertical distributions among species exhibiting different transport pathways on the southeast United States continental shelf
Water currents are vertically structured in many marine systems and as a result, vertical movements by fish larvae and zooplankton affect horizontal transport (Power, 1984).In estuaries, the vertical movements of larvae with tidal periods can result in their retention or ingress (Fortierand Leggett, 1983; Rijnsdorp et al., 1985; Cronin and Forward, 1986; Forward et al., 1999). On the continentalshelf, the vertical movements of organisms interact daily and ontogenetically with depth-varying currents to affect horizontal transport (Pillar et al., 1989; Barange and Pillar, 1992; Cowen et al., 1993, 2000; Batchelder et al., 2002).
