• Movements of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean recorded by pop-up satellite archival tags (2005, background): “…relationships between the vertical distribution of large pelagic fishes and moon phase, with deeper nighttime distributions found in bigeye tuna (Schaefer and Fuller 2002; Musyl et al. 2003), school sharks (Galeorhinus galeus) (West and Stevens 2001), and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) (Carey and…”
• Revealing pelagic habitat use: the tagging of Pacific pelagics program (2002, methodology): “To date, over 1100 electronic tags have been deployed on the three bluefin tuna species and more recently on bigeye tunas (Schaefer and Fuller, 2002).”
• Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA markers indicate unidirectional gene flow of Indo-Pacific to Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) populations, and their admixture off southern Africa (2005, background): “A component of site fidelity is certainly present in bigeye tuna (Shaefer and Fuller 2002), but unfortunately it is not known if it preferentially affects females rather than males, or alternatively if long-distance migrants are preferentially males.”
• Bigeye Tuna (Thunnus obesus) behaviour and phisiology and their relevance to stock assessments and fishery biology (2005, methodology): “…and depth distributions of juvenile and adult bigeye and yellowfin tuna have been gathered with both acoustic telemetry (Carey and Olson 1982, Yonemori 1982, Holland et al. 1990b, Cayré 1991, Block et al. 1997, Brill et al. 1999) and archival tags (Schaefer and Fuller 2002, Musyl et al. 2003).”
• Horizontal and vertical movements of swordfish in the Southeast Pacific (2010, background): “Swordfish undertake diel vertical migration, as do other large pelagic species such as bluefin tuna (Teo et al., 2007), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus; Schaefer and Fuller, 2002; Musyl et al., 2003), and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares; Schaefer et al., 2007).”
• Movements, behavior, and habitat utilization of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, ascertained through archival tag data (2007, background): “…(T. orientalis) (Kitagawa et al. 2000, 2007; Itoh et al. 2003), Atlantic bluefin tuna (T. thynnus) (Block et al. 2001), bigeye tuna (T. obesus) (Schaefer and Fuller 2002; Musyl et al. 2003; Evans et al. 2005), albacore (T. alalunga) (Uosaki 2004), and skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) (Ogura…”
• A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, methodology): “As a result, several methods have been developed to improve light-based estimates from PAT tags including: (1) filtering outliers (Schaefer and Fuller, 2002); (2) using smoothing procedures like moving averages (Matsumoto et al.”
• Food-web inferences of stable isotope spatial patterns in copepods and yellowfin tuna in the pelagic eastern Pacific Ocean (2010, methodology): “We explored the effect of a larger ambit (UD = 763,280 km(2)) using archival tag data for 17 bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) at liberty for 154 days (Schaefer and Fuller, 2002), based on our same calculations for yellowfin tuna, and a”
• Movements, behavior and habitat preferences of juvenile white sharks Carcharodon carcharias in the eastern Pacific (2007, background): “Twilight activity has been noted in a wide range of pelagic fishes including tunas (Thunnini) (Dagorn et al. 2000, Kitagawa et al. 2000, Schaefer & Fuller 2002), billfishes (Xiphidae, Istiophoridae) (Carey & Robison 1981, Holland et al. 1990a) and mako sharks Isurus oxyrinchus (Sepulveda et al.…”
• Fish aggregation device (FAD) research: gaps in current knowledge and future directions for ecological studies (2004, background): “Little information on the behaviour and patterns of use of pelagic fish around drifting FADs exists (but see Schaefer and Fuller, 2002), although we now have the technical capacity to gather much of this data through advanced tagging and acoustic techniques.”
• Behavior of yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) and bigeye (T. obesus) tuna in a network of fish aggregating devices (FADs) (2007, methodology): “We inserted tags in the peritoneal cavity using standard fish tag implantation techniques (e.g., Meyer and Holland 2000; Schaefer and Fuller 2002).”
• Validation of geolocation estimates based on light level and sea surface temperature from electronic tags (2004, methodology): “In addition, the Argos or GPSbased endpoint locations of Atlantic bluefin tunas Thunnus thynnus, which were tagged with pop-up satellite or implantable archival tags, were compared with the last on-fish geolocation estimates using light levels and SSTs (Schaefer & Fuller 2002).”
• Migration and behavior of juvenile North Pacific albacore ( Thunnus alalunga ) (2011, background): “Archival tags that collect depth, temperature and light-level information have been used successfully since the mid-1990s on a number of other tunas to study their movements and habitat preferences (e.g., Gunn et al., 1994; Arnold and Dewar, 2001; Block et al., 2001; Schaefer and Fuller, 2002; Kitag”
• A spatial ecosystem and populations dynamics model (SEAPODYM) – Modeling of tuna and tuna-like populations (2008, background): “At the same time, it provides accurate habitat prediction (in time, space and for a given age) that can be used to investigate detailed individual behaviors as observed from electronic archival tags (e.g., Schaefer and Fuller, 2002).”
• Tracking Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus orientalis)in the northeastern Pacific with an automated algorithm that estimates latitude by matching sea-surface-temperature data from satellites with temperature data from tags on fish (2005, background): “Tagged tuna have provided light-based geolocation estimates within ±0.5° of longitude and ±1.5−2.0° latitude (means) of known locations (Schaefer and Fuller, 2002; Gunn et al.1).”
• Spatial management of Indian Ocean tropical tuna fisheries: potential and perspectives (2014, background): “Bigeye has a similar maximum size and age at maturity as yellowfin, but specializes as an adult in foraging at depth on mesopelagic species of the deep scattering layer, though it often schools at the surface with the other tuna species as a juvenile (Schaefer and Fuller, 2002).”
