Summary
Abstract: The PLUME Model: a 3D Numerical Model of the Southern Benguela

The PLUME model aims to simulate the dynamics of the environment
within the southern Benguela, with a particular emphasis on meso-scale
physical processes affecting small pelagic fish spawning and
recruitment.

In the Southern Benguela, spawning takes place on the Western Agulhas
Bank, along the edge of the Agulhas Current. Eggs and ... View entire text
