Behaviorally mediated cross-shore migrations by larvae (L) of estuarine and coastal species from adult populations (A; subscripts represent different species). Larvae of some estuarine species may complete development in the estuary while other species migrate to the inner, mid-, or outer shelf (or open ocean). Larvae of intertidal and shallow-water coastal species may complete development on the inner shelf or migrate either to the mid- or outer shelf (or beyond).
