A new method, incorporating video, motion analysis, and a novel experimental apparatus, was used to measure the terminal velocity of particles. The method facilitated the investigation of treatment effects and maximized the number of measurements For each replicate, thus improving the statistics for a population of particles. The eggs of the Atlantic menhaden ( Brevoortia tyrannus ) were used to demonstrate the method by inves...

A biophysical model is used to compare the possible impacts of two different modes of cell orientation: taxis directed and metabolisminfluenced. The included submodels provide wind‐induced turbulent mixing in the Ekman layer based on wind forcing that randomly varies from day to day; a diurnal light cycle of sea‐surface photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) that is influenced by random cloud cover and that attenuates expon...
