Monthly time series of pink shrimp iFarfantepenaeus duorarum ) postlarval 

 concentrations, winds, and sea-surface temperature: (A) mean concentration 

 of pink shrimp postlarvae at the Florida Key stations of Whale Harbor (WHi 

 and Panhandle (PH); (B) mean concentration of pink shrimp postlarvae at 

 the northwestern Florida Bay stations of Middle Ground (MG) and Sandy 

 Key (SK); concentrations of two nets are depicted as 1 and 2; (C) alongshore 

 winds d'); (D) cross-shelf winds iu); (E) sea-surface temperature (SST). 

 Winds and SST data are from Long Key CMAN station. 



ing B was southward, had a mean velocity of -0.0038 

 m/sec and a total water displacement of -364.7x10' m 

 (Fig. 4B). The cross-shelf flow was eastward, had a mean 

 speed of 0.0015 m/sec, and a total water displacement of 



145.5 X 10'^ m and a resultant southeastward current. The 

 alongshore winds measured at Long Key were southward 

 and had a total water displacement of 16.1 x 10^ m, and 

 the cross-shelf winds were westward and had a total
