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.”
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).”
Foraging dynamics of seabirds in the Eastern tropical pacific ocean (2007, background): “…over tunas was primarily hemirhamphids, exocoetids, carangids, coryphaenids, scombrids, gempylids, and epipelagic cephalopods, several of these families (hemirhamphids, exocoetids, and scombrids) have not been found in the diets of yellowfi n tuna (Murphy and Shomura 1972, Bertrand et al. 2002).”
Isotopic evidence of distinct feeding ecologies and movement patterns in two migratory predators (yellowfin tuna and swordfish) of the western Indian Ocean (2007, background): “2001; Bertrand et al. 2002; Potier et al. 2004, 2007), with no major ontogenetic changes 341 (Ménard et al. 2006).”
Feeding Partitioning among Tuna Taken in Surface and Mid-water Layers: The Case of Yellowfin ( Thunnus albacares ) and Bigeye ( T. obesus ) in the Western Tropical Indian Ocean (2004, background): “Then bigeye tuna can prey upon fish species which are able to perform large vertical diel migrations or which remain deep in the water column during the night (Bertrand et al., 2002).”
A spatial ecosystem and populations dynamics model (SEAPODYM) – Modeling of tuna and tuna-like populations (2008, methodology): “The model can offer a simple framework to compare the numerous diet studies that have been carried out in many different regions during several decades (e.g., King and Ikehara, 1956; Bertrand et al., 2002).”
Niche partitioning among and within sympatric tropical seabirds revealed by stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “High trophic level marine predators thus face many challenges locating prey and have likely evolved behavioral and morphological adaptations that facilitate energetically efficient travel and foraging behavior (Bertrand et al. 2002, Weimerskirch et al. 2004).”
Decadal diet shift in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares suggests broad-scale food web changes in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2014, background): “Fisheries-independent trawl surveys are expensive and pelagic trawls are often biased against larger, active micronekton (Young et al. 2001, Bertrand et al. 2002, Ménard et al. 2006).”
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).”
Bigeye Tuna (Thunnus obesus) behaviour and phisiology and their relevance to stock assessments and fishery biology (2005, background): “…as likely to be a function of effective gear targeting (e.g., placing longline hooks at depths where fish are aggregated), as they are to reflect true fish abundance (Boggs 1992, Hinton and Nakano 1996, Hinton and Deriso 1998, Bigelow et al. 2002, Bertrand et al. 2002a, Bach et al. 2003).”
Resource partitioning within a tropical seabird community: new information from stable isotopes (2008, background): “The 2 fish species are known to undertake extensive vertical migrations and to include large mesopelagic organisms in their diet (Bertrand et al. 2002, Ménard et al. 2007, Potier et al 2007), which is the likely explanation why δ15N differences between these 2 species, seabirds and the more…”
The stomach contents of post-hatchling green and loggerhead sea turtles in the southwest Pacific: an insight into habitat association (2008, background): “As such, opportunistic feeding behaviour is observed in many oceanic pelagic Wsh (Bernard et al. 1985; Bertrand et al. 2002) and would beneWt sea turtles in the oceanic environment.”
