Abstract
    In September 1986, we collected neuston (1 x 2 m, 0.947 mm mesh) and surface chlorophyll a samples and hydrographic data at 46 stations around the discharge plume of the Mississippi River. Transects were positioned so that the 3 water masses in the plume area - plume water, Gulf of Mexico shelf water and frontal water (a mixture of the former 2) - were sampled. The plume was represented by a shallow lens of water < 34% salinity and < 29 degree C resting atop warmer (> 29°C) and more saline (> 34%) Gulf of Mexico shelf water. Strong turbidity fronts with a scale of 50 to 100 m form, relax and reform approximately at tidal frequencies within the frontal region that has a larger scale of 6 to 8 km. Total ichthyoplankton catch per tow, individual surface chlorophyll a values and macrozooplankton displacement volumes were all significantly greater in frontal water than adjacent Gulf of Mexico shelf or plume waters.
