Influence of coastal upwelling−downwelling variability on tropical euphausiid abundance and community structure in the inshore Mexican central Pacific

Influence of coastal upwelling−downwelling variability on tropical euphausiid abundance and community structure in the inshore Mexican central Pacific

The effect of wind-induced coastal upwellings on tropical euphausiid abundance and community structure was investigated in the Mexican central Pacific (19° N, 105° W) during a monthly time series (1996–1998). Eight species were identified, of whichEuphausia distinguendacontributed between 88 and 90%...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of wind-induced coastal upwellings on tropical euphausiid abundance and community structure was investigated in the Mexican central Pacific (19° N, 105° W) during a monthly time series (1996–1998). Eight species were identified, of whichEuphausia distinguendacontributed between 88 and 90% of the total euphausiid abundance, andE. lamelligeraconributed ~7%. The hydrographic structure (
