Ctenophores are known as the important carnivorous gelatinous zooplankton, and also for their weak capability of swimming against the currents. Currents often serve as one of the major physical factors affecting the distribution patterns and population dynamics of zooplankton like ctenophores. Even though the swimming capability of ctenophores is so weak in comparison with the external forces, it still acts an important force to help them stay in, or move into, the food-rich areas in foraging behavior and also in the vertical migration behavior.
     
There have been some arguments debating on active or passive forces on the aggregation and population distribution patterns in the estuaries, embayments, and pelagic areas. It has been generally recognized that the advective transport is profoundly affected by the current conditions, and the vertical distribution patterns are provided by the swimming ability of the plankton themselves. Actually, it is still unclear about the mechanisms controlling the distribution patterns and population retention of various kinds of ctenophores in different environmental scales.

Ctenophores, which are important carnivorous gelatinous zooplankton, cannot swim well against currents. Consequently, currents are one of the major physical factors affecting the distribution patterns and population dynamics of ctenophores. Still, ctenophores can swim well enough to help them stay in food-rich areas or migrate into them, and to migrate vertically as needed.
     
There has been debate over whether the forces controlling the aggregation and population distribution in estuaries, embayments, and pelagic areas are active or passive. It is generally recognized that advective transport is dominated by currents, but vertical transport by the swimming of the plankton. However, the mechanisms controlling the distribution and population retention of various kinds of ctenophores on different environmental scales still remain unclear.
