Abstract

Zooplankton vertical distribution data and velocity estimates from a hydrodynamicmodel were employed to determine zooplankton daily exchange during four cruisesconducted from March to June 2010 in Rivers Inlet, a fjord in central BritishColumbia, Canada. Zooplankton transport rates varied temporally, being fastest inMarch when water velocities were highest. The active vertical movement of thezooplankton interacted with the vertically sheared flow field to influence zooplanktonadvection. Surface dwelling plankton such as Acartia longiremis and larvaceans experi-enced the highest advection losses of 20.4 and 20.5 day
