9903467YoungbluthThis award supports Marsh Youngbluth from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in a collaboration with Ulf Balmstedt of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology at the University of Bergen, Norway. The research will focus on predicting predation by the jellyfish Periphylla periphylla, which acts as a regulatory species in pelagic food webs of Norwegian fjords. The cooperative study will elucidate relationships between foraging strategies and water column variables. Such comparisons will make estimations of feeding impact possible which will contribute significantly to models of predatory dynamics. The international partnership will strengthen the domestic research program by providing new insights about temporal, spatial, and behavioral variables that act to influence the distribution, abundance and feeding habits of a tentaculate predator.

9903467Youngbluth 该奖项支持来自海洋研究所港口分部的 Marsh Youngbluth 与挪威卑尔根大学渔业和海洋生物学系的 Ulf Balmstedt 合作。 该研究将重点预测水母周叶水母的捕食情况，周叶水母是挪威峡湾中上层食物网的调节物种。 这项合作研究将阐明觅食策略和水柱变量之间的关系。 这种比较将使对进食影响的估计成为可能，这将对捕食动态模型做出重大贡献。 国际合作伙伴关系将通过提供关于影响触手捕食者的分布、数量和摄食习惯的时间、空间和行为变量的新见解来加强国内研究项目。
