T his retrospective and modelling project is examining environmental and plankton variability on the Scotian Shelf, and influences on gadoid fish production and stock structure. The project involves scientists from the Ocean Sciences, Marine Fish and Marine Environmental Sciences Divisions of DFO Maritimes region. The project has components on:

• Hydrography: for some example results, see Atlantic Shelf Hydrographic Variability under Coastal Hydrodynamics
• Nutrients: for some example results, see Nutrient Fields
• Circulation Modelling: for some example results, see Atlantic Shelf Circulation Modelling under Coastal Hydrodynamics
• Primary Production: for some example results, see Ocean Colour Variability
• Zooplankton: for some example results, see Ecosystems Dynamics and Fisheries Applications under Coastal Hydrodynamics
• Gadoids: for some example results, see Ecosystems Dynamics and Fisheries Applications under Coastal Hydrodynamics
