• Description:
  Northern sand lance ( Ammodytes dubius ) are among the most critically important for- age fish throughout the Northeast US shelf. Despite their ecological importance, little is known about the larval transport of this species. Here, we use otolith microstruc- ture analysis to estimate hatch and settlement dates of sand lance and then use thesemeasurements to parametrize particle tracking experiments to assess the source –sink dynamics of three prominent sand lance habitats in the Gulf of Maine: Stellwagen Bank, the Great South Channel, and Georges Bank. Our results indicate the pelagic
