Spatial dynamics of a nearshore, micronekton sound-scattering layer
In the Hawaiian Islands, there is a distinct resident community of micronekton, distributed along a narrow band where the upper underwater slopes of the islands meet the oceanic, mesopelagic environment. This mesopelagic boundary community serves as an important food resource to many animals. The goal of this work was to examine spatial heterogeneity of the Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary biomass...
متن کاملDiel migration dynamics of an island-associated sound-scattering layer
The Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community, consisting of island-associated, midwater sound-scattering layers, undergoes diel migrations with both vertical and horizontal components. To understand the dynamics of the community’s migration at fine temporal scales, we utilized a bottom-mounted, 200-kHz active-acoustic mooring that transmitted 10 signals every 15min, from dusk until dawn for 5 da...
متن کاملNearshore Birds in Puget Sound Prepared in support of the Puget Sound Nearshore Partnership
ii Nearshore Birds in Puget Sound T he Puget Sound Nearshore Partnership (PSNP) has developed a list of valued ecosystem components (VECs). The list of VECs is meant to represent a cross-section of organisms and physical structures that occupy and interact with the physical processes found in the near-shore. The VECs will help PSNP frame the symptoms of declining Puget Sound nearshore ecosystem...
متن کاملExtreme diel horizontal migrations by a tropical nearshore resident micronekton community
The mesopelagic boundary community around the Hawaiian Islands is a land-associated, sound-scattering layer that undergoes diel migrations with both a vertical and horizontal component. To understand horizontal migration, it is important to understand the full cycle of migration and to determine which animals undertake these movements and which do not. We developed a video camera system to quan...
متن کاملA Geomorphic Classification of Puget Sound Nearshore Landforms Prepared in support of the Puget Sound Nearshore Partnership
Acknowledgments T he Nearshore Science Team (NST) of the Puget Sound Nearshore Project recognized in early discussions the need for a geomorphic framework to guide shoreline restoration planning. These individuals clarified the rationale and the purpose for this document and provided valuable comments on early drafts of the report. This project also benefitted greatly from the input of Washingt...
