Movement of fishes in the aquatic realm is fundamental to their ecology and survival.
Movement can be driven by a variety of biological, physiological and environmental factors …

Many large marine predators make excursions from surface waters to the deep ocean below
200 m. Moreover, the ability to access meso-and bathypelagic habitats has evolved …

Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to
understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date …

Over the past 4 decades there has been a growing concern for the conservation status of
elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). In 2002, the first elasmobranch species were added to …

Many predator species make regular excursions from near-surface waters to the twilight
(200 to 1,000 m) and midnight (1,000 to 3,000 m) zones of the deep pelagic ocean. While …

Marine animals equipped with biological and physical electronic sensors have produced
long-term data streams on key marine environmental variables, hydrography, animal …

Large pelagic fishes often dive and surface repeatedly as if they were airbreathers, raising a
question about the functions of these movements. Some species (eg, bigeye tuna, ocean …

Silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) represent a major component of global shark catch,
both directly and as bycatch, and populations are declining as a result. An improved …

Mobulid populations are declining on a global scale as a result of both targeted fisheries
and indirect anthropogenic threats. In order to implement effective conservation strategies …

An understanding of the vertical movements of elasmobranchs across their range is crucial
to defining critical habitat use, its overlap with anthropogenic activities and subsequently …
