Oceanographic Currents and Local Ecological Knowledge Indicate, and Genetics Does Not Refute, a Contemporary Pattern of Larval Dispersal for The Ornate Spiny Lobster, Panulirus ornatus in the South-East Asian Archipelago
Fig 4
Seasonal surface ocean currents in the surface well-mixed layer in the South-East Asian archipelago at the times when Panulirus ornatus larvae are travelling between the various sites shown in Fig 5, based on previous studies [13, 42, 45, 48, 49] and ARGOS data (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/graphics/dacdata/seasonal_wpac.gif).
To explain how this connectivity may eventuate, this figure shows the distribution of currents in the surface well-mixed layer in the South-East Asian archipelago during the periods of larval transport listed in Table 6.
