Open Water Sample Clauses

Open Water. The pelagic environment, or the open and unprotected water of the Port, is the largest potential habitat in the Port. Summer phytoplankton blooms in Port Xxxxxx are considered to be fairly productive for a northern fjord and provide food for zooplankton (Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1988). Most of the nutrients in an estuarine system are derived from land and depend on shoreline processes and characteristics. Zooplankton and pandalid shrimp feed in this habitat. Shrimp migrate upward at night, where they feed in the water column, and back down toward the sediments during the day (Xxxx et al., 1980; Xxxxxxxxx, 1983). Pelagic fishes, fish larvae, and fish eggs are found in the open water environment. Examples of receptors and their probable activity in this habitat are listed in Table 5-12.
