BOEHLERT and SASAKI: PELAGIC BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE ARMORHEAD 



head. If flow in certain years results in transport 

 of armorhead to other regions (such as the western 

 Pacific or the southern part of the northeast Pacific; 

 Fig. 4), it is possible that large-scale mortalities of 

 armorhead occur later in life, resulting in weak year 

 classes at the SE-NHR seamounts.
