Circulation and larval distribution in internal tidal bore warm fronts
Article Abstract:
Larval distribution and circulation in internal tidal bore warm fronts are discussed relative to observations in summer 1996 off Southern California. It was proposed that the fronts would transport neustonic larvae, but qualitative plankton observations showed that the fronts had high concentrations of nonneustonic barnacle cyprids. The initial increase in surface-water temperature was followed by a drop suggesting that strong upwelling came shortly after the front.

The trophic dynamics of riverine bacterioplankton: relationships among substrate availability, ectoenzyme kinetics, and growth
Article Abstract:
Bacterioplankton production in large temperate rivers appears to be carbon limited, and especially limited by saccharides. Abundant sugars and peptides are associated with the highest productivity. The microbial loop appears to be the main trophic path in summer. However, the trophic base of production may change during spring and autumn from autochthonous to allochthonous sources.
