Turbulence and hypoxia contribute to dense biological scattering layers in a Patagonian fjord system

<p>The aggregation of plankton species along fjords can be linked to physical properties and processes such as stratification, turbulence and oxygen concentration. The goal of this study is to determine how water column properties and turbulent mixing affect the horizontal and vertical di...
