Oceanographic preferences of Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, on their Gulf of Mexico breeding grounds (2007, background): “The use of electronic tags has improved our understanding of the habitat use and preferences of several pelagic species, by integrating biological and physical data from electronic tags with ocean observation data sets from satellites, buoys, and numerical models (e.g., Block et al. 2002, 2005; Po”
Validation of geolocation estimates based on light level and sea surface temperature from electronic tags (2004, background): “Determining the detailed movements and habitat use patterns of highly migratory pelagic animals in the open ocean is critical for understanding their ecology (Block et al. 2001, 2002, Polovina et al. 2001).”
MARINE RESERVES AND OCEAN NEIGHBORHOODS: The Spatial Scale of Marine Populations and Their Management (2004, background): “Data on blue fin tuna show consistent seasonal returns to spawning grounds and a distribution among feeding grounds separated by 1000s of km (54, 56, 57, 62).”
Integrating physiology and life history to improve fisheries management and conservation (2006, background): “…of bluefin tuna (Block et al. 2001; Marcinek et al. 2001; Kitagawa et al. 2004; Block et al. 2005), it has only been deployed to a limited degree on other species of tuna (Block et al. 2003) such as bigeye (Thunnus obesus; Sibert et al. 2003; Kitagawa et al. 2004) and yellowfin (Block et al. 1997).”
Biologging technologies: new tools for conservation. Introduction (2010, background): “…utilized as autonomous ocean profilers has been proven by deployments of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) tags on a variety of marine species (Block et al. 2002, Charrassin et al. 2002, 2008, Lydersen et al. 2002, Hooker & Boyd 2003, McMahon et al. 2005, Campagna et al. 2006, Biuw et al.…”
Biotelemetry and biologging in endangered species research and animal conservation: relevance to regional, national, and IUCN Red List threat assessments (2008, background): “In addition to the deployment of fixed arrays, there is also an increased emphasis on multi-species and multi-trophic level coordinated tagging studies (e.g. the Tagging of Pacific Pelagics [TOPP] project covers sea birds, marine mammals, pelagic fish, and turtles; Block et al. 2002).”
Leatherback turtles as oceanographic indicators: stable isotope analyses reveal a trophic dichotomy between ocean basins (2006, background): “To address this problem, highly migratory pelagic vertebrates equipped with electronic tags can be employed as ‘‘ocean samplers’’ during natural behaviors to collect detailed and integrated oceanographic data over large spatiotemporal scales (Block et al. 2003).”
