ABSTRACT:

A description of the advances in the development of numerical models of circulation and trophodynamics of larval fish will be provided. Focus will be on the factors affecting population regulation of cod on Georges Bank, e.g., abiotic factors affecting dispersion and retention, and biotic factors affecting their feeding environment and growth. The circulation models are 3-D, finite element, non-linear and baroclinic. The larval fish models are individual-based.
