Thistle 9314150 More than 70% of marine benthic invertebrates have planktonic larvae that disperse through the water column before returning to the sea bed to settle and develop into adults. An increasing body of evidence suggests that for many benthic species dispersal and settlement are largely passive processes of fluid-borne transport. The coastal ocean exhibits a unique set of physical transport phenomena that includes mean currents, tidal currents, and wave- induced currents. To gain a better understanding of the effect that fluid transport has on dispersal and settlement in the coastal ocean. This research program will develop a model of passive larval transport along a vertical plane. The effects of tides, waves, and mean currents will be examined individually and in combination. ***

蓟9314150 超过70%的海洋底栖无脊椎动物有浮游幼虫，在返回海床定居并发育成成虫之前，它们分散在水柱中。 越来越多的证据表明，对许多底栖物种来说，扩散和定居基本上是流体搬运的被动过程。 沿海海洋呈现出一系列独特的物理输运现象，包括平均流、潮流和波生流。 更好地了解流体输送对沿海海洋扩散和定居的影响。 本研究计画将发展一个幼虫沿着垂直面被动运输的模型。 潮汐、波浪和平均海流的影响将单独和组合进行研究。 ***
