Abstract

I apply the basic equations of fluid dynamics to reaction—diffusion—advection models describing vertical distribution patterns of marine plankton. The biological dynamics in these models are growth, death/birth, grazing and interaction. Further, oceanographic phenomena such as shading and shear dispersion are considered. Models for critical patch size and for vertical distribution profiles and analytical solutions are developed.
