Isotopic evidence of distinct feeding ecologies and movement patterns in two migratory predators (yellowfin tuna and swordfish) of the western Indian Ocean (2007, background): “On the other hand, large swordfish mainly 345 consume cephalopods (Hernandez-Garcia 1995; Markaida and Hochberg 2005; Young et al. 346 2006; Potier et al. 2007), while smaller swordfish have a diet focused on mesopelagic fish347 such as myctophids (Young et al. 2006; Potier et al. 2007).”
Comparative foraging ecology of a tropical seabird community of the Seychelles, western Indian Ocean (2009, background): “This work is part of a regional programme on seabirds as bioindicators of the marine environment, funded by the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (Marine Science for Management Grant, MASMA/AG/2004/04), and by the Agence National pour la Recherche (Programme REMIGE – ANR Biodiversité 2”
Spatial management of Indian Ocean tropical tuna fisheries: potential and perspectives (2014, background): “As high-seas exploitation of pelagic forage species is currently weak in the IO (Salvanes and Kristofersen, 2001; Potier et al., 2007), habitat modification is likely to be an interesting mechanism for pelagic MPA benefits principally in coastal waters and in the vicinity of shallow seamounts via, e”
Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model (2019, background): “Mesopelagic fish are also an essential prey item for key fishery stocks such as tuna and billfish (Potier et al., 2007; Karakulak et al., 2009).”
Biology of the planktonic stages of benthic octopuses (2008, background): “octopod para larvae not sorted by families occurred in 3% of the stomachs of this fish in western equatorial Indian ocean (Potier et al. 2007).”
Decadal diet shift in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares suggests broad-scale food web changes in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2014, background): “The yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares is considered an opportunistic predator (Sund et al. 1981, Ménard et al. 2006, Potier et al. 2007, Young et al. 2010), owing to a generalized feeding strategy and high energy requirements in oligotrophic habitats.”
Food-web inferences of stable isotope spatial patterns in copepods and yellowfin tuna in the pelagic eastern Pacific Ocean (2010, background): “Yellowfin tuna depend primarily on epipelagic and vertically migrating mesopelagic forage (Alverson , 1963; Olson and Boggs, 1986; Bertrand et al., 2002; Ménard and Marchal, 2003; Potier et al., 2007).”
Impact of declining intermediate-water oxygen on deepwater fishes in the California Current (2011, background): “…no doubt along with other predators on the micronekton of DSLs, such as various marine mammals, squids, tunas and other open-water predatory fishes (Pinkas et al. 1971, Pauly et al. 1998, Bertrand et al. 2002, Whitehead et al. 2003, Potier et al. 2007), make use of a shoaling HBL in a similar way.”
Feeding ecology and niche segregation in oceanic top predators off eastern Australia (2010, background): “No one prey species dominated as a major food source, a result similar to that found in other subtropical and temperate pelagic ecosystems (Potier et al. 2007), and contrasting to more tropical systems where often an individual micronekton prey species was dominant (e.g. Vinciguerria nimbaria,…”
Ecological effects of longline fishing and climate change on the pelagic ecosystem off eastern Australia (2010, background): “These groups are a primary food source for many large pelagic fishes in many of the world’s oceans (Bertrand et al. 2002; Lansdell and Young 2007; Potier et al. 2007).”
Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “…because most tropical seabirds feed upon small epipelagic prey (Le Corre et al., 2003; Jaquemet et al., 2008; Catry et al., 2009a), whereas the tropical industrial fisheries target top predators such as tunas and swordfish, which are also predators of epipelagic fauna (Potier et al., 2007).”
Nitrogen isotopic baselines and implications for estimating foraging habitat and trophic position of yellowfin tuna in the Indian and Pacific Oceans (2015, background): “, Pleuroncodes planipes) as well as on higher trophic level organisms, such as cephalopods and fishes (Potier et al., 2007; Longhurst, 1967a, b; Olson et al., 2014).”
