• Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “…a foraging area for many species, including loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), albatross (Phoebastria spp.), tunas (Thunnus spp.), swordfish (Xiphias gladius), and elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) (Polovina et al. 2000, 2004, Hyrenbach et al. 2002, Seki et al. 2002, Simmons et al. 2010).”
• Basking sharks and oceanographic fronts: quantifying associations in the north‐east Atlantic (2015, background): “2012), ocean sunfish Mola mola (Sims & Southall 2002), bluefin Thunnus thynnus (Schick, Goldstein & Lutcavage 2004), albacore Thunnus alalunga and skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis tunas (Fiedler & Bernard 1987) and swordfish Xiphias gladius (Podest a, Browder & Hoey 1993; Seki et al. 2002) in differing o”
• Migration of an upper trophic level predator, the salmon shark Lamna ditropis, between distant ecoregions (2008, background): “The low abundance of pelagic sharks in this oligotrophic region could offer predation release (Okamoto & Bayliff 2003), but the low abundance of forage species (Murata 1990, Seki et al. 2002) would be a disadvantage.”
• Life history of the neon flying squid: effect of the oceanographic regime in the North Pacific Ocean (2009, background): “During winter, the 20°C SST front (0.11 mg m–3 chl a concentration contour is a proxy for this front) coincides with an increase in subsurface chl a concentration and, accordingly, a moderate increase in the integrated chl a concentration in the water column in this zone (Seki et al. 2002).”
• Migration and habitat of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (2007, background): “Syn-optic ocean color measurements in this area show very low surface chlorophyll concentration, but the region maintains moderate productivity due to the sub duction of nutrient rich waters from the north (Seki et al. 2002).”
