Abstract
The distribution of certain copepod species of the north coast of British Columbia suggests that breeding is restricted to limited regions of well-defined temperature and salinity characteristics. Currents are responsible for the spread of juveniles and adults from these areas. Probable water circulation patterns in the vicinity of the Queen Charlotte Islands are inferred from the plankton collections.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
