Are there tools that can help determine connectivity in the marine environment

This message was posted by: Christophe Lett

Dear all,

Tools that can help determine marine population
connectivity through larval dispersal include
Ichthyop (see http://www.brest.ird.fr/ichthyop/
and
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2008.02.005
for details). As the tool tracks eggs and larvae
from release to destination areas it can be used
to calculate a connectivity matrix for example.

Best regards,
Christophe Lett
