Modeling the advective supply of Calanus finmarchicus to Stellwagen Bank as an indicator of sand lance foraging habitat, and the climate vulnerability of a National Marine Sanctuar... by Cameron R. S. Thompson, Cameron R. S. Thompson, Isabel A. Honda, Isabel A. Honda, Jacob P. Kritzer, Jackie Motyka, Jeffrey A. Runge, Rubao Ji

“…Climate change poses a significant threat to this dynamic, as C. finmarchicus populations are at the southern edge of their subarctic distribution and are vulnerable to warming waters and changing oceanographic conditions. Declines in the advective supply of C. finmarchicus to Stellwagen Bank could adversely affect sand lance populations and, consequently, the ecological and economic resources that depend on them. …”
