This brings nutrient-rich cold water to the surface, increasing fishing stocks.
They are usually found in low to medium nutrient-rich water and tend to disappear due to eutrophication.
Upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface resulting in an increase in productivity.
Within this layer, nutrient-rich water is brought to the surface, which generates a burst of primary production.
Extensive upwelling of nutrient-rich water produces an important marine hot spot on Australia's southern shelves.
The cold, nutrient-rich water brought to the surface by upwelling drives the system's extraordinary productivity.
Internal waves can act as nutrient pumps, bringing plankton and cool nutrient-rich water up to the surface.
These groundwater flows serve as a significant input of cold, nutrient-rich waters during summer months.
The cold and nutrient-rich water surrounding the island is home to a diverse array of sea life that is not found on the southern islands.
Penguins may have followed ocean currents carrying cool, nutrient-rich waters northward.
