Characteristics of a manta ray Manta alfredi population off Maui, Hawaii, and implications for management (2011, background): “Planktivorous elasmobranchs such as basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus and whale sharks Rhin co don typus can take advantage of these predictable diel trends by resting more during the day and foraging more at night when the plankton moves closer to the surface (Sims et al. 2005, Rowat et al. 2007).”
To go or not to go with the flow: Environmental influences on whale shark movement patterns (2010, background): “The swimming speeds of those sharks were similar to other whale sharks tracked from Ningaloo (Gunn et al., 1999), the Eastern Pacific (Eckert and Stewart, 2001), South China Sea (Eckert et al., 2002a), Red Sea (Rowat et al., 2007), and the northwest Pacific (Hsu et al., 2007).”
Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “Larger tags, such as pop-up archival tags, are too large to be applied to most young fish life stages (though see Rowat et al. 2007), but they have provided valuable insights in the study of large predatory fishes and sharks.”
Social behaviour in sharks and rays: analysis, patterns and implications for conservation (2012, background): “Across these different life-history strategies, group living behaviour appears relatively common in both the juvenile (Rowat et al. 2007; Guttridge et al. 2009a) and adult phases (Economakis and Lobel 1998; Hight and Lowe 2007).”
A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, background): “…and impressive insights into shark biology; for example, white shark transoceanic migrations of over 10,000 km (Bonfil et al., 2005), whale shark deep dives exceeding 1 km (Rowat et al., 2007; Brunnschweiler et al., 2009) and hibernation in basking sharks (Skomal et al., 2009).”
Scarring patterns and relative mortality rates of Indian Ocean whale sharks (2008, background): “, 2007) and in some cases, were possibly caused by vessels used to view whale sharks (Rowat et al., 2007).”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…sharks such as whale and basking sharks have shown such patterns (Graham et al. 2006, Wilson et al. 2006); however, reverse diel vertical migration (nocturnal movement to deeper waters) has also been observed in the same species (Sims et al. 2005a, Shepard et al. 2006, Rowat et al. 2007).”
