Modelling of European hake nurseries in the Mediterranean Sea: An ecological niche approach (2015, background): “It is well known that productive oceanic features (chlorophyll fronts) are key vectors of the oceans’ productivity along the food chain (Belkin et al., 2009; Druon et al., 2012, 2011; Kirby et al., 2000; Le Fèvre, 1986; Olson et al., 1994; Polovina et al., 2004, 2001).”
Oceanographic preferences of Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, on their Gulf of Mexico breeding grounds (2007, background): “The use of electronic tags has improved our understanding of the habitat use and preferences of several pelagic species, by integrating biological and physical data from electronic tags with ocean observation data sets from satellites, buoys, and numerical models (e.g., Block et al. 2002, 2005; Pol”
To go or not to go with the flow: Environmental influences on whale shark movement patterns (2010, background): “It has been hypothesized that many migratory marine animals including birds, cetaceans (Ballance et al., 2006), turtles (Polovina et al., 2000, 2004; Luschi et al., 2003; Gaspar et al., 2006; Lambardi et al., 2008; Shillinger et al., 2008) and sharks (Montgomery and Walker, 2001; Sims et al., 2003)…”
Oceanic dispersal of juvenile leatherback turtles: going beyond passive drift modeling (2012, background): “Such migrations towards warmer waters are commonly observed in autumn in both juveniles and adults of other sea turtle populations (e.g. Musick & Limpus 1997, Polovina et al. 2004, Mansfield et al. 2009) and in large juvenile and adult leatherbacks (James et al. 2005, Benson et al. 2011).”
Bottom or midwater: alternative foraging behaviours in adult female loggerhead sea turtles (2007, background): “Immature oceanic loggerheads in the central North Pacific foraged mainly on those items such as the gastropods Janthina spp. and the chondrophore Vellela vellela at oceanic fronts (Polovina et al., 2004; Parker, Cooke & Balazs, 2005).”
Effects of eliminating shallow hooks from tuna longline sets on target and non-target species in the Hawaii-based pelagic tuna fishery (2009, methodology): “Based on our initial results, it is likely that the new experimental technique reported in this study would also significantly reduce longline–turtle interactions because electronic tagging studies reported marine turtles to spend the majority of their time in the upper 100 m of the water column ( P”
Earlier nesting by loggerhead sea turtles following sea surface warming (2004, background): “The range of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) that they occupy in the central North Pacific is 15–25 1C (Polovina et al., 2004).”
Satellite-tracking of female loggerhead turtles highlights fidelity behavior in northeastern Brazil (2010, background): “Several behavioral aspects have been revealed, for different populations and in diverse developmental stages (e.g. Polovina et al. 2004).”
The importance of oceanographic fronts to marine birds and mammals of the southern oceans (2009, background): “Eddies are characterized by increase in marine productivity and zooplankton biomass relative to adjacent waters (Seki et al., 2001; Polovina et al., 2004; Hyrenbach et al., 2006).”
Reducing sea turtle interactions in the Hawaii-based longline swordfish fishery (2007, methodology): “…a set with a turtle interaction, moving vessel position to different oceanographic conditions, such as moving away from an oceanic front or gyre (Polovina et al., 2000, 2004), or moving away from topographic features, such as a shelf break or seamount, may be effective methods to reduce the…”
Circle hook effectiveness for the mitigation of sea turtle bycatch and capture of target species in a Brazilian pelagic longline fishery (2010, background): “The potential for interaction with loggerheads, which remain for 90% of their time at depthso40m (Polovina et al., 2004) is”

Southern elephant seal trajectories, fronts and eddies in the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence (2006, background): “…such as giant blue fin tuna (Block et al., 2001, 2005), several species of penguins (e.g., Charrassin et al., 2002; Wilson et al., 2005; Sokolov et al., 2006), sea turtles (e.g., Polovina et al., 2004) and marine mammals (e.g., Boehlert et al., 2001; Davis et al., 2002; Fadely et al., 2005).”
Reducing sea turtle by-catch in pelagic longline fisheries (2006, background): “…than by vessels targeting tuna overlapping more with the depths occupied by turtles, squid is the primary bait, gear soaks into the day and is hauled during the day, and lightsticks are deployed near baited hooks (Polovina et al. 2000, 2003, 2004; US National Marine Fisheries Service 2002).”
