Behavior of an Escolar Lepidocybium flavobrunneum in the Windward Passage as Determined by Popup Satellite Archival Tagging

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    In June 2003, fisheries research was conducted in the Windward Passage using a chartered commercial pelagic longline vessel (Rice and Snodgrass 2003). This paper describes the habitat use by an escolar in this location tagged with a pop-up satellite archival tag (PSAT) that remained attached to the fish for 14 d. Data recovered from the PSAT were used to directly document diel vertical migration and ambient temperature range for the first time in a mesopelagic teleost.
