| Notes | This study asked if the planktonic larvae of ghost shrimp were retained in the Salmon River estuary, or if they were flushed out to sea through tidal exchange. The author concluded that they spend much of the planktonic phase offshore, and manage to remain near enough to shore to find a suitable bay in which to settle at the end of this stage. "I have indirectly shown that the nearshore ocean is the source of recruits to the Callianassa population at the Salmon River estuary." (p.44) |
