“…Warm streamers are also spread intermittently from the KE (Sainz-Trápaga & Sugimoto, 2000) and quasi-stationary jets extend northeastward in the transitional area between the KE and the Oyashio fronts (Isoguchi, Kawamura, & Oka, 2006), probably providing conditions for longitudinal selection. Although these processes seem unique for the KE, similar processes may occur in other regions as many fish larvae depend on regional flows, such as the coastal jets in the Benguela Current (Hutchings et al, 2002) or the eddies in the California Current (Logerwell, Lavaniegos, & Smith, 2001), to effectively reach food-rich feeding grounds.…”
