U.S. GLOBEC: Copepod Population Biology On George's Bank - A Component Of U.S. GLOBEC: Ichthyoplankton And Zooplankton In The George's Bank Region

9317506米勒博士将参与GLOBEC乔治·潘基文大范围调查的管理和数据分析。这将包括(1)在伍兹霍尔的乔治斯浅滩浮游生物技术小组(GBPTG)的组建和管理工作，以及(2)利用将由大范围调查收集的非常大的样本集对Finmarchicus、Pseudocalanus moltoni和Pseudocalanus newmani的种群生物学进行研究。在对桡足类的具体研究中，他将使用大范围调查保存的样本集，加上特别保存的样本和亚样本，来检查肋足类和伪足类的某些方面。生活史、生长和生产生物学作为季节、温度和层积、岸上或岸外的位置、食物可获得性和水文条件的函数。目标将包括对Finmarchicus和Pseudocalanus spp.的次生生产量的综合估计。以便在乔治斯海岸的季节、年份和地点之间进行比较。

9317506 Miller Dr. Miller will participate in the management and data analysis of the GLOBEC Georges Ban Broad Scale Survey. This will include (1) work on the formation and management of the Georges Bank Plankton Technical Group (GBPTG) at Woods Hole, and (2) studies of the population biology of Calanus finmarchicus, Pseudocalanus moultoni, and Pseudocalanus newmani using the very large sample set to be collected by the Broad Scale Survey. In specific studies of copepods he will use the broad scale survey preserved sample set, plus specially preserved samples and subsamples, to examine aspects of C. finmarchicus and Pseudocalanus spp. life history, growth, and production biology as functions of season, temperature and stratification, location over or off the bank, food availability, and hydrography. Goals will include comprehensive estimation of secondary production by C. finmarchicus and Pseudocalanus spp. to allow comparisons among seasons, years, and sites across Georges Bank.
