The fate and movements of aquarium-released giant trevally Caranx ignobilis inferred from acoustic telemetry
Abstract Movements of four adult giant trevally Caranx ignobilis were tracked using passive acoustic telemetry after being released from uShaka Sea World Aquarium in Durban, South Africa, where they had been kept on display for a period of 8 years. All four individuals were detected on a large network of deployed acoustic receivers for a […]
Seasonality and site fidelity of the zebra shark, Stegostoma fasciatum, in southeast Queensland, Australia
Site fidelity and migratory movements of vertebrate animals occur at many spatial and temporal scales. Larger migratory movements tend to occur in species that live in seasonal environments in which food supplies vary markedly, while species found in thermally stable environments are more site-attached. In the marine environment, seasonal migrations are often associated with predictable […]
