5.1 Horizontal Migrations

5.1 Horizontal Migrations

Marine Science

= Large-scale movement of marine organisms.

----------------------------------

Note: "Horizontal" is in relation to the ocean surface.

​

​Horizontal Migration

*Moving between feeding & breeding grounds

*Moving from depleted to fresh feeding patches

*Offspring moving out of parental territory

​Seasonal Migration
