Behavior Regulates Larval Dispersal for Nearshore Marine Fish Species in an Upwelling Region
Hellen Killeen of UC Santa Cruz presents results from a California Sea Grant-funded study on larval fish distributions off the central coast of California, where seasonal upwelling creates a highly advective environment. They report distinct behavioral patterns regulating larval dispersal along and across the continental shelf for a diverse group of species.
