| When at sea, they concentrate over the continental shelf or over upwellings of cold, nutrient-rich water. |
|
| Plankton blooms usually follow coastal upwellings because of the abundant nutrients that come with it. |
|
| At sea, they gather at upwellings and convergence zones where food is brought to the surface. |
|
| They are most commonly found over upwellings or the continental shelf, rarely close to shore. |
|
| They can often be found in areas with upwellings or convergence zones that bring food to the surface. |
|
| Wind patterns can predict ocean currents like the upwellings that fostered plankton, a clue to today's oil deposits. |
|
| Studies off northwest Africa found they favor areas where the seabed slopes steeply, creating strong currents and upwellings, which tend to support higher prey densities. |
|
| The southernmost auks, in California and Mexico, can survive there because of cold upwellings. |
|
| These upwellings support blooms of phytoplankton, which in turn produce zooplankton and support many of the world's main fisheries. |
|
| Islands and banks can interact with currents and upwellings in a manner that results in areas of high ocean productivity. |
|
| Coastal upwellings are supposed to be effective suppliers of P to the carbonate shelf. |
|
| One of the known look-alikes on SAR images is caused by upwellings. |
|
| These eight-inch wading birds breed in small pools around the Arctic edge and then winter out at sea among the whales, off west Africa, plucking food from upwellings. |
