The planktonic period of benthic mdrine ~nvertebrates can significantly affect distnbution patterns of benthic ~uveni les In this paper we address the relationship between advection and the subsequent abundance of p lankton~c megalopae of the rock crab Cancel ~rrora tus in Block Island Sound Rhode Island (USA), over an 8 yr penod At small scales (several meters distance with samples taken sin~ultaneously), megalopae weie found to be similarly distributed at larger temporal (tens of m ~ n u t e s ) and spa t~a l scales (hundreds of meters) megalopae were very patchy, which indicates a complex, highly vanable pattern of abundance typical of planktonic systems Using the receptor-mode tralectory capability of OILMAP a numencal hydrodynamic model, we detected a s ~ g n ~ f ~ c a n t reldt~onship between the direction of transport prior to collection (as pred~cted by the model) and the subsequent catch of mcydlopae We argue that rock crab inegalopae are often advected tens of kilometers over short t ~ m e spans and are concentrated on south-facing shores in Block Island Sound Further, enhanced planktonic delivery to our study drea results in large pulses of ind~viduals to the benthos Diiectional transport would be an effect~ve larval dellvery strategy even ~f rock crab megalopae were subject to lower advection, perhaps owlng to a deep vertical distnbution, a significant relationsh~p between transport direction and collection date was detected even under a lower advective regime K E Y WORDS Decapod Cancer~rl-oralus Recruitment Advection Numencal hydrodynamicmodel
