Copepod Aggregations: Influences of Physics and Collective Behavior by Woods, Nicholas W., Flierl, Glenn Richard

“…Dense copepod aggregations form in Massachusetts Bay and provide an important resource for right whales. We re-examine the processes which might account for the high concentrations, investigating both horizontally convergent flow, which can increase the density of depth-keeping organisms, and social behavior. …”
