Acoustic telemetry was used to track vertical and horizontal movement patterns and to monitor the stomach temperatures of seven juvenile shortfin mako sharks (Isurus oxyrinchus Rafinesque) in the Southern California Bight from July to November 2002. Makos (80–145 cm fork length, FL) were attracted to the tracking vessel, where they were fed a mackerel containing an acoustic transmitter that reported temperature and pressure. Tracks ranged from 6.8–45.4 h. Collectively, the mako sharks spent 80% of the track record at 0–12 m, 15% at 12–24 m, and 5% at depths >24 m. The average horizontal swimming speed was 2.3 km h–1 or 0.55 FLs s–1, and the greatest distance traveled was 145 km in 45.4 h. For the six tracks >21 h, there was a positive correlation between body size and maximum depth. Makos used more of the water column during daylight hours. Mean stomach temperature was 3.8±1.5°C above ambient, and body size was positively correlated with both maximum and average stomach temperature. Stomach content analyses of four makos captured at the end of tracking verified the occurrence of feeding events as indicated by changes in stomach temperature.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at Communicated by J.P.

Stock heterogeneity was investigated in albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre 1788), a commercially important species in the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Twelve polymorphic
microsatellite loci were examined in 581 albacore tuna from nine locations, four in the north-east Atlantic Ocean (NEA), three
in the Mediterranean Sea (MED) and two in the south-western Pacific Ocean (SWP). Maximum numbers of alleles per locus ranged
from 9 to 38 (sample mean, 5.2–22.6 per locus; overall mean, 14.2 ± 0.47 SE), and observed heterozygosities per locus ranged
from 0.44 to 1.00 (overall mean: 0.79 ± 0.19 SE). Significant deficits of heterozygotes were observed in 20% of tests. Multilocus
F
ST values were observed ranging from 0.00 to Θ = 0.036 and Θ′ = 0.253, with a mean of Θ = 0.013 and Θ′ = 0.079. Pairwise F
ST values showed that the SWP, NEA and MED stocks were significantly distinct from one another, thus corroborating findings
in previous studies based on mitochondrial DNA, nuclear DNA (other than microsatellites) and allozyme analyses. Heterogeneity
was observed for the first time between samples within the Mediterranean Sea. GENELAND indicated the potential presence of
three populations across the NEA and two separate populations in the Mediterranean Sea. Observed genetic structure may be
related to migration patterns and timing of movements of subpopulations to the feeding grounds in either summer or autumn.
We suggest that a more intensive survey be conducted throughout the entire fishing season to ratify or refute the currently
accepted genetic homogeneity within the NEA albacore stock. 相似文献

The population genetic structure of the neon damselfish (Pomacentrus coelestis) in the northwestern Pacific Ocean was revealed by the hypervariable control region of the mitochondrial gene (343 bp). In
total, 170 individuals were sampled from 8 localities distributed between Taiwan and Japan, and 71 haplotypes were obtained
through sequence alignment. High haplotype diversity (h = 0.956 ± 0.008) with low nucleotide diversity (π = 0.010 ± 0.006) was observed, and the results of the mismatch distribution test suggested that a historical population expansion
after a period of population bottleneck might have occurred among P. coelestis populations. Based on the results of the UPGMA tree and AMOVA (Φct = 0.193, P < 0.05) analyses, fish populations from eight localities could be divided into two groups: one includes populations from localities
around mainland Japan, and the other includes those from Okinawa and southern Taiwan. A genetic break was found between populations
from mainland Japan and Okinawa, and this break was congruent with the pattern of phenotypic variations documented in previous
studies. This evidence supports the latitudinal variation of reproductive traits among P. coelestis populations likely being genetically based. It is suggested that the changes in sea level and sea surface temperatures during
past glaciations might have resulted in population bottlenecks in P. coelestis and the modern populations in the northern West Pacific are likely the results of recolonization after such events. The Kuroshio
Current acts not only as a vehicle for larval transport along its pathway (between populations in southern Taiwan and Okinawa)
but also as a barrier for larval dispersal across the Kuroshio axis (between populations in mainland Japan and Okinawa).

The shortfin mako shark, Isurus oxyrinchus, is a highly streamlined epipelagic predator that has several anatomical and physiological specializations hypothesized to
increase aerobic swimming performance. A large swim-tunnel respirometer was used to measure oxygen consumption (MO2) in juvenile mako sharks (swimming under controlled temperature and flow conditions) to test the hypothesis that the mako
shark has an elevated maintenance metabolism when compared to other sharks of similar size swimming at the same water temperature.
Specimen collections were conducted off the coast of southern California, USA (32.94°N and 117.37°W) in 2001-2002 at sea-surface
temperatures of 16.0–21.0°C. Swimming MO2 and tail beat frequency (TBF) were measured for nine mako sharks [77–107 cm in total length (TL) and 4.4 to 9.5 kg body mass]
at speeds from 28 to 54 cm s−1 (0.27–0.65 TL s−1) and water temperatures of 16.5–19.5°C. Standard metabolic rate (SMR) was estimated from the extrapolation to 0-velocity
of the linear regression through the LogMO2 and swimming speed data. The estimated LogSMR (±SE) for the pooled data was 2.0937 ± 0.058 or 124 mg O2 kg−1 h−1. The routine metabolic rate (RMR) calculated from seventeen MO2 measurements from all specimens, at all test speeds was (mean ± SE) 344 ± 22 mg O2 kg−1h−1 at 0.44 ± 0.03 TL s−1. The maximum metabolic rate (MMR) measured for any one shark in this study was 541 mg O2 kg−1h−1 at 54 cm s−1 (0.65 TL s−1). The mean (±SE) TBF for 39 observations of steady swimming at all test speeds was 1.00 ± 0.01 Hz, which agrees with field
observations of 1.03 ± 0.03 Hz in four undisturbed free-swimming mako sharks observed during the same time period. These findings
suggest that the estimate of SMR for juvenile makos is comparable to that recorded for other similar-sized, ram-ventilating
shark species (when corrected for differences in experimental temperature). However, the mako RMR and MMR are apparently among
the highest measured for any shark species. 相似文献

Population structure of the black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon, among western Indian Ocean and western Pacific populations 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We examined the population structure of the black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798, in the Indo-West Pacific by analyzing the geographic distribution of elongation factor 1-alpha intron sequences from specimens collected during the winter and spring of 1997. Both the molecular phylogeny of alleles and
F-statistics indicated very strong differentiation between populations from the western Indian Ocean and western Pacific. This
pattern is concordant with other recent studies of marine species in this region, implying that the Indo-Australian Archipelago
represents a biogeographic break between populations in the Indo-West Pacific. F
ST-values among populations in the western Indian Ocean also indicate structure within this region, whereas no structure was
found among western Pacific populations. Nucleotide diversity was significantly lower in the western Indian Ocean populations
than in the western Pacific, implying that the populations have regional differences in demographic history.

The results presented in this report are based on analyses of 16,721 days of data downloaded from 96 archival tags recovered
from bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus; 54–159 cm in length, 0.97–5.44 years of age) at liberty from 31 to 1,508 days in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean. Analyses
of daily timed depth and temperature records resulted in the classification of the data into three daily behavior types: characteristic,
associative (associated with floating objects), and other. There is a significant positive correlation between the proportion
of time fish exhibit characteristic behavior and increasing length, and significant negative correlations between the proportion
of time bigeye exhibit associative and other behavior with increasing length. For the smallest (54–80 cm) to largest (100–159 cm)
length classes, the vertical habitats utilized when exhibiting non-associative behaviors were 99 and 98% of the time above
the thermocline depth (60 m) during the night, at the same average depth of 34 m, and 60 and 72% of the time below the thermocline
during the day at average depths of 163 and 183 m, respectively. For the same smallest to largest length classes, when exhibiting
associative behavior, the average nighttime and daytime depths were 25 and 21, and 33 and 37 m, respectively. The apparent
effects of the environment on the behavior of the fish are discussed. 相似文献

Small-scale movement behavior of sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) in the Arabian Gulf was evaluated between April 2002 and April 2004 using temperature- and pressure-sensitive ultrasonic telemetry. Of nine sailfish tagged, eight were successfully tracked for periods ranging from 3 h 33 min to 52 h 6 min. Total tracked distances ranged from 5.5 to 78.7 km, while maximum linear displacement from tagging locations ranged from 4.6 to 37.0 km. Average speed based on vessel positioning ranged from 0.29 to 0.75 m s–1. The cumulative mean vertical distributions showed that 84.3% of time was spent above 10-m depth, even though water temperature altered little with increased depth. Data from two pop-up satellite archival tags deployed in 2002 were used to compare time spent at 5-m depth intervals with data from ultrasonic tags. There was no significant difference (P<0.05) in preferred depths between ultrasonic and pop-up tags for day or night, suggesting that the sailfish in this study recovered from capture stress and returned to normal behavior in relatively short times. Information on vertical and horizontal distribution can reveal preferential habitat that benefits fishery management practices relating to time/area closures, as well as determining optimal gear selection that reduces incidental bycatch and promotes conservation of sailfish in the Arabian Gulf.Communicated by O.

Blue mussels in the genus Mytilus first arrived in the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific during the Pliocene, following the opening of the Bering Strait. Repeated
periods of glaciation throughout the Pleistocene led to re-isolation of the two ocean basins and the allopatric divergence
of Mytilus edulis in the Atlantic and M. trossulus in the Pacific. Mytilus trossulus has subsequently colonized the northwest Atlantic (NW Atlantic) so that the two species are presently sympatric and hybridize
throughout much of the Canadian Maritimes and the Gulf of Maine. To estimate when M. trossulus arrived in the NW Atlantic, we have examined sequence variation within a portion of the female mtDNA lineage large untranslated
region (F-LUR) for 156 mussels sampled from three Pacific and eleven Atlantic populations of M. trossulus. Although we found no evidence of reciprocal monophyly for Pacific and NW Atlantic M. trossulus, limited gene flow between ocean basins has led to the divergence of unique sequence clades within each ocean basin. In contrast,
relative genetic homogeneity indicates high levels of gene flow within each basin. Coalescence-based analysis of the F-LUR
sequences suggests that M. trossulus recolonized the NW Atlantic from the northeast Pacific subsequent to a demographic expansion in the Pacific that occurred
~96,000 years before present (ybp). Estimates of timing of divergence for Pacific and NW Atlantic populations and the time
since expansion among NW Atlantic sequence clades indicate that M. trossulus arrived in the NW Atlantic more recently, between 20,000 and 46,000 ybp. Given that these estimates overlap with the dates
of peak ice in the NW Atlantic during the last glacial maximum (LGM, ~18,000–21,000 ybp), we suggest that colonization of
the NW Atlantic by M. trossulus occurred during, but more likely just subsequent to, the LGM and was followed by rapid temporal and spatial expansion in
the region. 相似文献

The genus Nyctiphanes (Malacostraca, Euphausiacea) comprises four neritic species that display antitropical geographic distribution in the Pacific
(N. simplex and N. australis) and Atlantic (N. couchii and N. capensis) Oceans. We studied the origin of this distribution applying methods for phylogenetic reconstruction and molecular dating
of nodes using a Bayesian MCMC analysis and the DNA sequence information contained in mtDNA 16S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase
(COI). We tested hypotheses of vicariance by contrasting the time estimates of cladogenesis with the onset of the major barriers
to ocean circulation. It was estimated that Nyctiphanes originated in the Pacific Ocean during the Miocene, with a lower limit of 18 miilion years ago (Mya). An Atlantic–Pacific
cladogenic event (95% HPD 3.2–9.6) took place after the closure of the Tethyan Sea, suggesting that dispersal occurred from
the Indo-Pacific, most likely via southern Africa. Similarly, the antitropical distribution pattern observed in the eastern
Atlantic Ocean likely resulted from recent Pliocene–Pleistocene (95% HPD 1.0–4.97) northward dispersal from the southern hemisphere.
Our results imply that dispersal appears to have had a significant role to play in the evolution of this group.

The horizontal and vertical movements of bigeye (Thunnus obesus Lowe, 1839) and skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis Linnaeus, 1758) tunas within large multi-species aggregations associated with moored buoys or a drifting vessel were investigated, using ultrasonic telemetry and archival tags, along with sonar imaging, in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean (at 2°S–95°W and 2°N–95°W). Four sets of observations, each consisting of the concurrent monitoring of pairs of skipjack and/or bigeye with implanted acoustic or archival tags, were conducted in May 2002 and 2003. Ultrasonic telemetry data were not collected until 24 h or more after the fish were tagged and released, to avoid any abnormal behavior as a consequence of tagging. The pairs of acoustically tagged bigeye and skipjack, and also the entire aggregations, were primarily upcurrent of the moored buoy and downcurrent of the drifting vessel during the day. At night the aggregations were observed to be more diffuse, and the fish were feeding on organisms of the deep scattering layer. The aggregations returned to positions upcurrent of the buoy or downcurrent of the drifting vessel at dawn, commonly breezing at the surface within cohesive monospecific schools. The bigeye and skipjack had concurrent changes in depth records, occupying significantly greater mean depths at night than during the day, in most cases. When associated with a moored buoy, bigeye depth distributions were deeper during the day and night than those of skipjack, but bigeye depth distributions were shallower during the day and night than those of skipjack when associated with the drifting vessel. Simultaneous depth records of a large and a small bigeye with archival tags associated with a moored buoy also indicated diel changes in depth. The mean depth at night was significantly less than during the day for the larger bigeye, but the mean depth during the day was significantly less than during the night for the smaller bigeye. The mean depths during the day and night were significantly greater for the larger bigeye than the smaller.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00227-004-1480-xCommunicated by J.P.

Sixty-eight yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, (60-135 cm fork length) were caught and released with implanted archival tags offshore off Baja California, Mexico, during
October 2002 and October 2003. Thirty-six fish (53%) were recaptured and the data were downloaded from all 36 recovered tags.
Time at liberty ranged from 9 to 1,161 days, and the data were analyzed for the 20 fish that were at liberty for 154 or more
days. The accuracy in the position estimates, derived from light-level longitude data and sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)
based latitude, is about 0.41° in longitude and 0.82° in latitude, in this region. The movement paths, derived from position
estimates, for the 20 yellowfin indicated that 19 (95%) remained within 1,445 km of their release locations. The estimated
mean velocity along movement paths was 77 km/day. The southern and northern seasonal movement paths observed for yellowfin
off Baja California are influenced by the seasonal movements of the 18°C SST isotherm. Cyclical movements to and from suitable
spawning habitat (≥24°C SST) was observed only for mature fish. For the 12 fish that demonstrated site fidelity, the mean
95 and 50% utilization distributions were 258,730 km2 and 41,260 km2, respectively. Evaluations of the timed depth records resulted in discrimination of four distinct behaviors. When exhibiting
type-1 diving behavior (78.1% of all days at liberty) the fish remained at depths less than 50 m at night and did not dive
to depths greater than about 100 m during the day. Type-2 diving behavior (21.2% of all days at liberty) was characterized
by ten or more dives in excess of 150 m during the day. Type-2 diving behavior is apparently a foraging strategy for fish
targeting prey organisms of the deep-scattering layer during the day, following nighttime foraging within the mixed layer
on the same prey. Yellowfin tuna exhibited occasional deep-diving behavior, and some dives exceeded 1,000 m, where ambient
temperatures were less than 5°C. Surface-oriented behavior, defined as the time fish remained at depths less than 10 m for
more than 10 min, were evaluated. The mean number and duration of surface-oriented events per day for all fish was 14.3 and
28.5 min, respectively. Habitat utilization of yellowfin, presented as monthly composite horizontal and vertical distributions,
indicates confined geographical distributions, apparently resulting from an affinity to an area of high prey availability.
The vertical distributions indicate greater daytime depths in relation to a seasonally deeper mixed layer and a greater proportion
of daytime at shallower depths in relation to a seasonally shallower mixed layer. 相似文献

Movement patterns of large bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the open ocean, determined using ultrasonic telemetry 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The horizontal and vertical movements of large bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus Lowe, 1839; 25 to 50 kg) captured in the south Pacific Ocean (French Polynesia) were determined using pressure-sensitive
ultrasonic transmitters. Bigeye tuna swam within the first 100 m below the surface during the night-time and at depths between
400 and 500 m during the daytime. The fish exhibited clear relationships with the sound scattering layer (SSL). They followed
its vertical movements at dawn and dusk, and were probably foraging on the organisms of the SSL. Bigeye tuna did, however,
make regular rapid upward vertical excursions into the warm surface layer, most probably in order to regulate body temperature
and, perhaps, to compensate for an accumulated oxygen debt (i.e. to metabolize lactate). The characteristics of these dives
differ from those reported from previous studies on smaller bigeye tuna (∼12 kg) near the main Hawaiian Islands. During the
daytime, the large fish in French Polynesia made upward excursions approximately only every 2.5 h, whereas smaller fish in
Hawaiian waters made upward excursions approximately every hour. Our data are the first observations on the role of body size
in the vertical behavior of bigeye tuna.

Depth and muscle temperature of Pacific bluefin tuna examined with acoustic and pop-up satellite archival tags 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Six Pacific bluefin tuna were tracked with ultrasonic telemetry and two with pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) in the
eastern Pacific Ocean in 1997, 1998, and 1999. Both pressure and temperature ultrasonic transmitters were used to examine
the behavior of the 2- to 4-year-old bluefin tuna. The bluefin spent over 80% of their time in the top 40 m of the water column
and made occasional dives into deeper, cooler water. The mean slow-oxidative muscle temperatures of three fish instrumented
with pressure and temperature transmitters were 22.0–26.1 °C in water temperatures that averaged 15.7–17.5 °C. The thermal
excesses in slow-oxidative muscle averaged 6.2–8.6 °C. Variation in the temperature of the slow-oxidative muscle in the bluefin
was not correlated with water temperature or swimming speeds. For comparison with the acoustic tracking data we examined the
depth and ambient temperature of two Pacific bluefin tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags for 24 and 52 days. The PSAT
data sets show depth and temperature distributions of the bluefin tuna similar to the acoustic data set. Swimming speeds calculated
from horizontal distances with the acoustic data indicate the fish mean speeds were 1.1–1.4 fork lengths/s (FL s−1). These Pacific bluefin spent the majority of their time in the top parts of the water column in the eastern Pacific Ocean
in a pattern similar to that observed for yellowfin tuna.

High-resolution satellite locations were obtained from striped marlin using Argos transmitters attached to the upper lobe
of the caudal fin. Twenty-six striped marlin were tagged off New Zealand (2005–2007) and tracked as far as the central Pacific
Ocean. Caudal fin mounted Argos tags generated 1,524 locations during a total of 659 tracking days [mean 25 (±21.24) days
per fish and 2.3 (±2.30) locations per day]. 38% of locations have an estimated accuracy of ±1 km or better. Displacement
rates from high quality locations ranged from 2.9 to 170.8 km in a 24 h period, with a mode at 20–30 km and a mean of 45 km/day.
The caudal fin attachment methodology and antenna configuration was adjusted each season to improve transmission life and
data quality, with the best results obtained in the last year of deployments (2007). The longest track duration was 102 days,
with a total displacement of 4,959 km and a total track distance from all locations received of 6,850 km. Tag shedding and
antenna failure appear to have limited the duration of tracks from SPOT tags. The high temporal and spatial resolution data
revealed behaviours not previously observed in striped marlin, including associations to subsurface bathymetric features.
High resolution location data such as these are useful inputs for statistical models used to investigate habitat selection
and switching between different behavioural modes. The geolocations calculated using ukfsst estimates from PAT tag data had
RMS errors of 1.01° latitude and 0.59° longitude when compared with SPOT tag Argos locations. 相似文献

Holothuroidea represent the dominant benthic megafauna in hadal trenches (~6,000–11,000 m), but little is known about their
behaviour and functional role at such depths. Using a time-lapse camera at 8,074 m in the Peru–Chile Trench (SE Pacific Ocean),
we provide the first in situ observations of locomotory activity for the elasipodid holothurian Elpidia atakama Belyaev in Shirshov Inst Oceanol 92:326–367, (1971). Time-lapse sequences reveal ‘run and mill’ behaviour whereby bouts of feeding activity are interspersed by periods of locomotion.
Over the total observation period (20 h 25 min), we observed a mean (±SD) locomotion speed of 7.0 ± 5.7 BL h−1, but this increased to 10.9 ± 7.2 BL h−1 during active relocation and reduced to 4.8 ± 2.9 BL h−1 during feeding. These observations show E. atakama translocates and processes sediment at rates comparable to shallower species despite extreme hydrostatic pressure and remoteness
from surface-derived food. 相似文献

Escolar (Lepidocybium flavobrunneum) is a large, mesopelagic fish that inhabits tropical and temperate seas throughout the world, and is a common bycatch in
pelagic longline fisheries that target tuna and swordfish. Few studies have explored the biology and natural history of escolar,
and little is known regarding its population structure. To evaluate the genetic basis of population structure of escolar throughout
their range, we surveyed genetic variation over an 806 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial control region. In total, 225
individuals from six geographically distant locations throughout the Atlantic (Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, South Africa) and Pacific
(Ecuador, Hawaii, Australia) were analyzed. A neighbor-joining tree of haplotypes based on maximum likelihood distances revealed
two highly divergent clades (δ = 4.85%) that were predominantly restricted to the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific ocean basins.
All Atlantic clade individuals occurred in the Atlantic Ocean and all but four Pacific clade individuals were found in the
Pacific Ocean. The four Atlantic escolar with Pacific clade haplotypes were found in the South Africa collection. The nuclear
ITS-1 gene region of these four individuals was subsequently analyzed and compared to the ITS-1 gene region of four individuals
from the South Africa collection with Atlantic clade haplotypes as well as four representative individuals each from the Atlantic
and Pacific collections. The four South Africa escolar with Pacific mitochondrial control region haplotypes all had ITS-1
gene region sequences that clustered with the Pacific escolar, suggesting that they were recent migrants from the Indo-Pacific.
Due to the high divergence and geographic separation of the Atlantic and Pacific clades, as well as reported morphological
differences between Atlantic and Indo-Pacific specimens, consideration of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific populations as separate
species or subspecies may be warranted, though further study is necessary. 相似文献

Satellite telemetry was used to study the movements and behaviour of ten blue sharks and one individual each of shortfin mako,
thresher and bigeye thresher off eastern Australia. The tracks showed latitudinal movements of up to 1,900 km, but none of
the sharks travelled away from the eastern Australian region. Tracking periods did not exceed 177 days. All species showed
oscillatory dive behaviour between the surface layers to as deep as 560–1,000 m. Blue sharks spent 35–58% of their time in
<50 m depths and 10–16% of their time in >300 m. Of these four species, the bigeye thresher spent the least time in the surface
layers and the most time at >300 m depth. All four species showed clear diel behaviour generally occupying shallower depths
at night than during the day. Blue sharks were mainly in 17.5–20.0°C water, while the thresher sharks showed a more bimodal
temperature distribution. 相似文献

A total of 22 magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) from Isla Martillo in the Beagle Channel, Argentina, were successfully satellite tracked in 2004 (n = 7), 2005 (n = 7) and 2006 (n = 8) to monitor their winter migration after moult. Only one magellanic penguin migrated northwards into the Pacific Ocean,
whereas all others remained in the Atlantic Ocean. In general, these birds left the island in an easterly direction, rounded
Cabo San Diego, the southeasterly tip of South America, and continued northwards occupying inshore waters mostly less than
50 km from the coast, only occasionally venturing further offshore. By the end of the transmission period, birds were still
travelling northwards and the most northerly positions were obtained from birds located in the area of Peninsula Valdés, Argentina,
at a latitude of around 42°S, some 1,500 km from their breeding site on Isla Martillo. The mean maximum distance to the breeding
site was, however, only 624 ± 460 km. The mean minimum distance covered during the study period was 1,440 ± 685 km, which
corresponded to a mean distance of 23.2 ± 6.6 km covered per day. The northbound migration of the penguins could be separated
into periods of rapid movement, interspersed with periods during which the birds remained for some time in particular coastal
regions. Areas with a high density of daily penguin positions were observed in three distinct areas: at the northeastern coast
of Tierra del Fuego, at the southern entrance of Golfo San Jorge and to the northeast of the Peninsula Valdez. The observed
migration pattern is presumably driven by the formation and subsequent dispersal of areas of enhanced productivity as the
season progressed. Our findings also suggest that magellanic penguins are increasingly threatened by human activities in coastal
areas as penguins migrate northwards. 相似文献

To investigate the role of magnetic compass orientation in oceanic migrating chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, an ultrasonic telemetry study was carried out in the western North Pacific off the coast of Kushiro, Hokkaido. Four salmon
were fitted with a tag which generated an artificial magnetic field and modified the geomagnetic field around the head of
the fish. Initially, the free-ranging salmon with stomach-implanted ultrasonic transmitters were tracked for a period of several
hours before the magnetic field was altered for a period of 16 h. The generator produced an alternating magnetic field intensity
of about 6 gauss, with polarity which reversed every 11.25 min. There was no observable effect on the horizontal and vertical
movements of the salmon when the magnetic field was modified. However, it was noted that salmon slowed their swimming speed
significantly before changing direction, regardless of whether the fish were swimming under the normal geomagnetic field or
whether they were swimming under the modified field.

Data were retrieved from 25 ocean sunfish (Mola mola) that were tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags in the southern Gulf of Maine (n = 6), off Nantucket Island (n = 17), and off the coast of Georgia (n = 2) between September 2005 and March 2008. Tags remained attached from 7 to 242 days, with a mean attachment period of (X ± SD)
107.2 ± 80.6 days. Ocean sunfish tagged in the Gulf of Maine and southern New England left those areas in the late summer
and early autumn and moved south along the continental shelf break. Fish traveled as far south as the Bahamas and the Gulf
of Mexico. By moving south, sunfish experienced similar mean sea surface temperatures throughout the tagging period. The maximum
straight-line distance traveled by a tagged Mola mola was 2,520 km in 130 days. Two tagged ocean sunfish entered the Gulf of Mexico, one in the December and one in July. Movements
were associated with frontal features created by the Gulf Stream and fish moved farther offshore in 2007 when the Gulf Stream
was deflected from the shelf break. 相似文献
