- Feeding ecology and niche segregation in oceanic top predators off eastern Australia (2010, background): “For example, Ménard et al. (2000) found daily rations ranging from 1.27 to 4.82% body weight for bigeye tuna; 0.89 to as much as 16% for yellowfin tuna, depending on whether fish were sampled at or away from FADs.”
- Decadal diet shift in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares suggests broad-scale food web changes in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2014, background): “Ménard et al. (2000) reported that floating objects in the Atlantic Ocean do not have a ‘trophic function’ for small tunas.”
- Vertical movements, behavior, and habitat of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean, ascertained from archival tag data (2010, background): “A plausible reason why they undertake these occasional and sometimes extremely deep dives is foraging for deep water squids (Roper and Young 1975; Roper et al. 1984) or mesopelagic fishes ( Maynard et al. 1975 ).”
- Behavior of bigeye (Thunnus obesus) and skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) tunas within aggregations associated with floating objects in the equatorial eastern Pacific (2005, background): “However, stomach content analysis of FAD-associated bigeye tuna in the eastern Atlantic Ocean ( Menard et al. 2000 ) showed that 83% of the stomachs were empty, whereas only 25% of the stomachs of bigeye tuna not associated with floating objects were empty.”
- Fish aggregation device (FAD) research: gaps in current knowledge and future directions for ecological studies (2004, background): “Studies comparing diets of FADassociated and unassociated fish indicate that feeding conditions are either poorer (Menard et al., 2000) or modified in the vicinity of FADs (Brock, 1985; Buckley and Miller, 1994).”
- The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “Small fishes are critical to pelagic food webs, as they are fed on directly (Flynn and Paxton, 2012; Polovina, 1996) and indirectly (Menard et al., 2000) by most pelagic predators.”
