In Gelatinous zooplankton, including ctenophores, particular, behaviors that allow organisms to locate medusae, and siphonophores, tend to aggregate at and exploit patches of food represent key in?uences density, salinity, and temperature discontinuities that on trophodynamics. For plankton, external forcing develop in coastal transition zones, estuaries, and (e. g. , currents, shear, and turbulence) combines with fjords (Owen, 1989; Graham et al. , 2001).
