The Great South Channel region contains unusually abundant                 populations of three endangered whale species: right, humpback and              fin whales, and their principle prey items in the zooplankton,                  copepods.  The South Channel Ocean Productivity Experiment                      (SCOPEX) will look at the physical oceanographic and                            biological/ecological mechanisms responsible for these aggregations.            Using both aerial and ship-based surveys (visual, acoustics, tows),             the distribution and abundance of right whales and zooplankton in               the region will be determined.  Detailed distributional and                     behavioral observations of these animals, including data from                   intensive sonar and radio-tagging studies, primary production                   assessments and hydrographic characterization will provide tests of             hypotheses on how the aggregations form and are maintained.  This               component will focus on the advanced hydroacoustic assessments of               zooplankton distribution and abundance.
