Small-scale turbulence and plankton contact rates
1Johns Hopkins University, Chesapeake Bay Institute and Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences Baltimore, MD 21218, USA University of Maryland, Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies Box 38, Solomons, MD 20688, USA
Received on July 24, 1987; accepted on January 4, 1988 Theoretical and empirical studies of plankton trophodynamics are usually based on some function of the relative density of predator-and-prey plankton. Such approaches based only on the relative density of predator and prey generally underestimate predator-prey contact rates because contact depends on both the relative density and the relative velocity of predator and prey. We estimate the components of predator-and-prey contact that are due to small-scale turbulence. The small-scale turbulence effect suggests reconsidering estimates of plankton food requirements, energy gain-and-loss from foraging and mechanisms associated with patch formation and dissipation.
