  abstract = {{A} {L}agrangian module has been developed and coupled with the 3{D} circulation model {S}ymphonie to study the influence of hydrodynamic processes on zooplankton transport and distributions in the {N}orth {W}estern {M}editerranean ({NWM}) {I}ndividuals are released every 3 days from {M}arch to {A}ugust 2001 in two initial areas around the {DYFAMED} sampling station in the central {L}igurian {S}ea and in the {R}hone river plume {T}hen the individuals are tracked for 40 days either as passive particles or with a simple diel vertical migration ({DVM}) pattern {T}he simulations suggest strong seasonal patterns in the distributions of the individuals released around the {DYFAMED} sampling station {I}ndividuals spread all over the {NWM} basin after 40 days but different patterns occur depending on the season the initial depths of release and the capacity of {DVM} {O}ffshore-shelf transport only occurs in {A}pril and {M}ay with particles ending up in the {G}ulf of {L}ions ({G}o{L}) in low concentrations {I}n other months the {N}orthern {C}urrent ({NC}) can be considered as a barrier for particles entering the {G}o{L} from the offshore sea {A} quarter to a half of passive individuals released in the {R}hone river plume remain in the {G}o{L} {T}he rest is transported by the {NC} towards the {C}atalan {S}ea {A}pplying a simple {DVM} scheme does not increase the retention of particles on the shelf ({C}) 2010 {E}lsevier {B} {V} {A}ll rights reserved},
