Larval abundance and water column structure on August 3–6, 2010.

<p>Panels represent larval abundance and water column structure, respectively, for transects 1 (A, B), 2 (C, D), and 3 (E, F). Larval abundance is presented as larvae m⁻³ at 5 m (blue bars) and 0.25 m (red bars). Error bars represent one standard error. The red line indicates the depth at which 5 m samples were collected. Variation in larval density among stations was significant on transects 2 and 3 (one-way ANOVA, p<0.0001 and p<0.01, respectively), and letters indicate 5 m stations that did not differ significantly from one another (Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test, p>0.05). Vertical black lines represent the locations of CTD and larval sampling stations, color gradations represent water temperatures, and the white contour lines represent isopycnals.
