• Global habitat preferences of commercially valuable tuna (2015, result): “This finding is in agreement with other studies (Boyce et al., 2008; Cheung et al., 2013; Fromentin et al., 2014; Hazen et al., 2013; Lutcavage et al., 2000; Teo et al., 2007; Walli et al., 2009), and suggests that bluefin tuna is the species able to tolerate the widest ranges of environmental condi”
• Unravelling migratory connectivity in marine turtles using multiple methods (2010, background): “Movement studies, using electronic tagging systems, have high- lighted the likely impacts of threats in wide-ranging species of marine fishes (Lutcavage et al. 2000; Block et al. 2005), reptiles (Godley et al. 2008), birds (Åkesson & Alerstam 1998) and mammals (Mate, Nieukirk &Kraus 1997;…”
• Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “For instance, schools of northern bluefin tuna may spend less than 12% of each day at the surface, where they can be detected by aerial surveys (Lutcavage et al., 2000; Brill and Lutcavage, 2001).”
• Feeding habits and trophic levels of bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus of different size classes in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “A massive research effort has been invested into tracking their trans-ocean movements, using highly sophisticated technological tools (Lutcavage et al., 1999, 2000; Block et al., 2001) and has confirmed that Thunnus thynnus uses spawning grounds that differ from its trophic areas (Block et al.,…”
• Mixed-species feeding aggregation of dolphins, large tunas and seabirds in the Azores (2001, unknown): “Lutcavage et al. (2000) showed a higher predation rate (based on increases of speed end course) at light transition period.”
• Modelling the impact of climate change on Pacific skipjack tuna population and fisheries (2013, background): “Nevertheless, the fixed value for VM seems reasonable in the view of direct observations from electronic tagging experiments for other tunas (e.g., Lutcavage et al. 2000).”
• Movements of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean recorded by pop-up satellite archival tags (2005, background): “We also noted dramatic depth changes at dawn and dusk, a recurring feature in the vertical behavior of large pelagic fishes, including bluefin tuna (Lutcavage et al. 2000; Marcinek et al. 2001), other tunas (e.g. Block et al. 1997), billfishes (Carey and Robison 1981), and sharks (Nelson et al.…”
• Atlantic bluefin tuna: population dynamics, ecology, fisheries and management (2005, background): “While ABFT appear to primarily reside in surface waters, both juveniles and adults ABFT frequently dive to depth of 500m to 1000m (Lutcavage et al. 2000; Block et al. 2001; Brill et al. 2001).”
• Killer whale predation on bluefin tuna: exploring the hypothesis of the endurance-exhaustion technique (2007, background): “Lutcavage et al. (2000) reported average speeds of North Atlantic bluefin tuna (136 to 340 kg) of 1.6 m s–1, not exceeding 3.6 m s–1 (ca. 1.5 to 2 length s–1) for more than 45 min.”
• Movement and behaviour of large southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) in the Australian region determined using pop‐up satellite archival tags (2008, methodology): “…the lognormal distribution, E(distance) = exp(l + ½ q2), the highest weightings are given to movements of approximately 150 km day)1, or approximately 0.97 body lengths s)1 in accordance with published swimming speed estimates for a 170-cm tuna (Bushnell and Jones, 1994; Lutcavage et al., 2000).”
