Modeled buoyancy of eggs and larvae of the deep-sea shrimp Aristeus antennatus (Crustacea: Decapoda) in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea
Fig 6
Depth position of eggs (IBM0 and IBMLS), and eggs and nauplius (IBMPZ) after spawning.
The depth position is recorded from the release day (Time = 0) to the end of the buoyant stages (grey arrow) in three Individual-Based Models. In IBM0 (black line) and IBMLS (grey dashed line), eggs were spawn at early and late summer, respectively, and buoyant eggs rose during 2 days. In IBMPZ (brown line), eggs and nauplii were buoyant and rose in the water column during 7.5 days.
