California Current: Implications for trophic transfer and conservation.
Variability of egg escapement, fishing mortality and spawning population in the market squid fishery in the
California Current Ecosystem.
In 2007 and 2008, years previously identified as having high mean concentrations (>60 individuals/1000 [m.sup.3]) of rockfish larvae in the northern
California Current ecosystem (Auth, 2011), we identified the rosethorn rockfish as an indicator species.
Distributional atlas of fish larvae and eggs in the
California Current Region: Taxa with 1000 or more total larvae, 1951-1984.
For example, in 2005 the spring transition off Vancouver Island occurred in late April, but persistent upwelling did not develop until late July (3) after the development of strong upwelling favorable wind stress in the northern
California Current (Pierce et al., 2006; Fleischer ct al.

California current. Geophysical Research Letters.

Prominent features were a strong positive association with sea surface temperature S of San Diego and in the eastern tropical Pacific, and an equally strong negative association with sea level pressure directly above the
California Current, in an area centered approximately over 30-40 [degrees] N and 120-130 [degrees] W, just off the Patton Escarpment [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 7 OMITTED].
It is hypothesized that the population dynamics of intertidal barnacle species along the central California coast reflect the dynamics of the
California Current System and wind-induced upwelling (Farrell et al.
The cold-water
California Current and the warmer Southern California Counter Current converage to create a periodic upwelling of nutrient-laden water that fosters exceptionally high production of phytoplankton and other plant growth.
Founded in 1987 by David Packard (who also underwrote the aquarium's construction), MBARI is dedicated to studying the ecology of Monterey Bay, which is distinguished by a 2-mile-deep canyon and by the cleansing action of the
California Current. The clarity of these deep-sea images puts home TV to shame.
On the other hand, there are two main marine current systems in northwestern Mexico: the
California Current (CC) and the North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC).
