Includes bibliographical references (pages 10-12). "The most recent understanding of the mean circulation of the Gulf of Maine, including Georges and Browns Banks, is described from literature sources to support studies of ichthyoplankton distributions and stock structure. The mean circulation consists of separate clockwise gyres about both banks, which are leaky to the southwest on Georges Bank and to the north on Browns Bank. The mean circulation of the Gulf of Maine consists of several large eddies, loosely associated with bathymetric features; it is not one large gyre. The conclusion is that consistent transport of ichthyoplankton between Georges and Browns Banks by the residual circulation generally does not occur. This is supported by both literature and field studies of cod and haddock egg and larval distributions. However, sporadic transport of ichthyoplankton between banks may occur due to strong wind-induced currents during storms"--Abstract. Includes abstract in French.
