Life in a Moving Fluid (Steve Vogel)
Two Kinds of Flow:Laminar flow – fluid particles move more or less
parallel to each other in a smooth pathTurbulent flow – fluid particles move in a highly
irregular manner even if the fluid as a whole is moving in a single direction

Reynolds number (Re) describes the nature of the flow regime when a solid
(organism) and liquid encounter one another
Re = σ l v/ μ σ = density of fluid l = length (size) solid
v = velocity of solid μ = viscosity of fluid
Re = FI FI = inertial forces FV FV= viscous forces

Reduction of overweight
• Incorporate less dense liquids – oils and fats – in tissues– Copepods – oil droplets– Diatoms - vacuoles
• Decrease overall density by incorporating gas• gas bags• bubbles

Increase Surface of Resistance
• Why is plankton small?
15
Why small is important
• Surface area increases as a square of liner dimension
• Volume increases as a cube
16
• Change shape of body - flatten body, feathery projections
• Develop spines, body projections– Lots of surface area, little mass
17
Water motion and buoyancy
18
Langmuir Cells
• Heating-cooling diurnal cycle, counter –rotating helical cells
• localized vertical movement, scale of meters• Effect – vertical mixing, horizontal differences• Vertically mix zooplankton, horiz. Patches• 2 zones: chaotic regions that help to spread
plankton and locally coherent regions (patches) , that do not mix with the chaotic regions and which persist for long periods of time.

Nekton – also have adaptations for buoyancy
• Make body fluids less dense - • Fish – swim bladders• Lay down lipid layer – in enlarged liver
(sharks), throughout body (mackerel), subcutaneous lipid layer (marine mammals)
• Pectoral fins, flippers, heterocercal tail
21
Drag – loss of momentum in movement through a fluid
• Skin friction – results from stickiness of water– Proportionally more important at low Re
• Pressure drag – results because dynamic pressure to separate flow at front end is not counter balanced by an opposite pressure at rear end– Proportionally more important at high Re
22
23
Adaptations to reduce drag
Change body shape
24
25
• Reduce frontal area and streamline shape – to minimize skin friction
• Long tapering tail- reduces pressure drag by recapturing energy as fluid closes in rear
26
What is “streamlined?”

29
Speedo LZR Racer•Reduces skin drag•Compresses body
30
Adaptations to reduce drag
Minor adaptations:
• Eliminate protuberances – eyes, pectoral fins, etc. recessed into depressions
• Surface roughness – overcome viscosity at high velocities
31
Mucus, compliant skins, scales, riblets and roughness
• polymers found in mucus decrease the pressure gradient, channel water molecules in direction of flow
• Compliant surfaces equalising and distributing pressure pulses
• Small longitudinal ridges on rows of scales on fish can reduce shear stress in the boundary
• a rough surface increases the shear stress in the boundary layer and makes it thinner.
32
• The function of the roughness on the sword of a swordfish is probably to reduce the total drag by generating premature turbulence and by boundary layer thinning, despite an increased friction over the surface of the sword.

Phytoplankton Dynamics
Primary Productivity (g C/m2/yr)
Gross (total) production = total C fixedNet production = C remaining after respirationStanding crop = biomass present at a point in
time
35
Factors Affecting Primary Production
1. Light2. Nutrients3. Loss out of the photic zone due to sinking or
mixing4. Grazing
36
1. Light
Light penetration – affected by– Angle of incidence– Surface reflection– Suspended particles– Adsorption by the water itself

2. Nutrients
• Nutrients = essential elements needed for cell maintenance and growth
N, P, Si, Ca, K, etc.• N and P in ocean water about 10,000 x less
than on land (“ocean desert”)• Redfield ratio C:N:P 105:16:1
same in seawater and pp cell
42
• Body form of pp adapted for nutrient uptake• Rate of uptake is concentration dependent
low nutrient species – very efficient at nutrient uptake in low concentrations, but rate saturates out at high concentrations
high nutrient species – less efficient uptake at low concentrations, but can exploit high concentrations
43
3. Loss out of the photic zone
• Sinking• Water turbulence mixes plankton deeper into
the water column
DM = mixing depth
Vertical mixing can take plankton below the compensation depth
44
DDCC = compensation depth, = compensation depth,
(P = R in each pp cell)(P = R in each pp cell)
DDCR CR = critical depth, = critical depth,
(P = R in whole pp (P = R in whole pp population)population)
DDMM < D < DCRCR P PWW > R > RWW
DDMM > D > DCRCR P PWW < R < RWW

4. Grazing
• Copepods can have extremely high grazing rates
GR < PW
GR = PW
GR > PW

Coast vs. Open Ocean
• Coast receives nutrients from land• Upwelling • Shallow water depth – bottom shallower
than the DCR
• Thermocline not as well developed or persistent
• Turbidity of water can counteract other factors
