Variation in Egg Mortality
1. What caused it?
2. What are it implications for recruitment?
What caused the interannual variation in mortality rate?
1. Egg viability? (i.e., maternal factors)
2. Predation?
3. Wind Driven Transport off the Bank?
SE Wind Stress vs Egg Mortality Rate
1. Winds from Georges Bank Buoy
2. No winds for 1996
3. Average SE wind stress: mid-Feb to mid-Apr for cod mid-Mar to mid-May for haddock

Relationship to SE winds suggeststransport is associated with time- dependent winds (i.e., episodic forcing)

Could wind driven transport actually have caused the interannual variability in egg mortality?
(Was the temporal/spatial variability in the egg locations and in the wind forcing likely to have resulted in the observed mortality?)
Could wind driven transport actually have caused the interannual variability in egg mortality?
(Was the temporal/spatial variability in the egg locations and in the wind forcing likely to have resulted in the observed mortality?)
Use particle tracking model to test this.
Two issues:
1. Estimating the currents
2. The egg distributions to be used
Currents:
1. Climatological flow fields from US GLOBEC models (3-D finite element model with mean winds; bi-monthly)
2. Time-dependent Ekman current, using observed winds (48 hour wind history)
3. Random displacement – for dispersion
4. Particle tracking by ‘Drogue-3D’ by B. Blanton – hourly time step
Caveats:
Adding climatology and Ekman not a fully rigorous approachConsidering only near surface drift

Early Egg distributions:
1. Interpolate each cruise to fine grid
2. Interpolate (in time) to daily values
3. Sum into 10 day bins (e.g., days 40-49, …)
Have distributions ofearly eggs (#/10m2)for 10 day bins forcod and haddock
Drifting the eggs:
1. For each 20 eggs/10m2 at a grid point, assign one egg particle (about 500-1000 particles for each 10 day bin; up to 50 at a grid point)
2. Drift the particles for 17 days (average development time from the early stage to hatching)
3. If a particle moves across the 200m isobath, it has left the bank and is lost
4. After 17 days, determine how many particles have left the bank

Conclusions:
1. Variability in egg mortality rates due (in large part) to variability in wind-driven loss from the bank.
2. Variability in egg surviorship a significant contributor to variation in recruitment.
3. Future modeling of the egg/larval period should address time-dependent wind forcing.
P.S.
