Senior thesis written for Oceanography 445[author abstract] Fine scale zooplankton patchiness is an important component of similarly scaled trophic interactions. There are biological and physical drivers of patchiness--this study focused on the physical component, specifically the circulation patterns formed around sills. During a research cruise to Nootka Sound, British Colombia, 200 kHz sonar was used to collect data from zooplankton backscatterers including copepods and euphausiids. Raw sonar data was binned and a variance:mean ratio was calculated to assess zooplankton patchiness. Transects of patchiness over sills and flat bathymetry were compared, revealing higher peak patchiness over sills and more vertically stratified patchiness i...
