Abstract

This dataset includes the connectivity matrix derived from the OysterFutures larval transport model simulations.

This dataset contains estimates of the proportion of larvae that were transported between oyster habitat polygons in the Choptank and Little Choptank River and was derived from larval transport model simulations. This matrix was used to simulate the transport of progeny between the 1,132 habitat polygons in the in the OysterFutures simulation model.
