Tide and wind control of megalopal supply to estuarine crab populations on the Portuguese west coast

Physical processes that force transport of planktonic larvae of invertebrates are responsible for some of the spatial and temporal variability in recruitment. We investigated the influence of tide- and wind-driven circulation on intra-year variability of megalopal supply to populations of the crab C...
