      <abstract>The coupling of physical, biological, and fisheries oceanography is requisite for the proper assessment and description of these features as spawning and nursery habitat by examining e cold-core cyclonic eddies in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.</abstract>
      <purpose>To identity and describe eddies as spawning and nursery habitat and to study the relationship between larval bluefin tuna and thermal fronts has been established through previous studies,.</purpose>
