Website Notes Research On Roles Of Herring, Small Fish
The website Physorg.com notes research being done by UMaine oceanographer Andrew Pershing into the role played by herring and other small pelagic fish in the Gulf of Maine, including the nutrients they supply to larger animals like tuna and whales and their effect on zooplankton. Pershing and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute are running the more than $346,000 research project.
