6. Estuaries
7. Coral Reefs
Reading as described in syllabus, except as mentioned above.
• How does physics effect zooplankton?– Eating– Being eaten– Not being swept away
• Eating/Coastal Upwelling
• Turbulence avoidance
• Diel Migration
• Diel Migration
• Being eaten -- Diel migration again!
• How does the hunter find the hunted?
• So?
• Not being swept away: Meroplankton
• Carcinus Maenus Range
• C. maenus life cycle?
• How do they persist? Role of eddies
