The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Postrelease survival, vertical and horizontal movements, and thermal habitats of five species of pelagic sharks in the central Pacific Ocean (2011, background): “Historically, long-term survival of pelagic species has been estimated by large-scale conventional tagging programs with low return rates (<5%, blue shark, Kohler et al., 1998; ~1%, blue marlin, Ortiz et al., 2003).”
MARINE RESERVES AND OCEAN NEIGHBORHOODS: The Spatial Scale of Marine Populations and Their Management (2004, background): “One longterm program has been the tagging of large pelagic billfish by recreational and commercial fishermen (59).”
Stock structure of the world's istiophorid billfishes: a genetic perspective (2003, background): “Furthermore, with additional tagging efforts, trans-Atlantic, trans-equatorial and, for the blue marlin, even trans-oceanic tag recoveries were noted (Ortiz et al. 2003).”
