متن کاملFunctional Dorsoventral Symmetry in Relation to Lift-Based Swimming in the Ocean Sunfish Mola mola
The largest (up to 2 tons) and a globally distributed teleost--the ocean sunfish Mola mola--is commonly regarded as a planktonic fish because of its unusual shape including absence of caudal fin. This common view was recently questioned because the horizontal movements of the ocean sunfish tracked by acoustic telemetry were independent of ocean currents. However, direct information regarding th...
متن کاملStable isotopes challenge the perception of ocean sunfish Mola mola as obligate jellyfish predators.
Evidence is provided from stable isotope analysis that aggregations of small ocean sunfish Mola mola (total length <1 m) feed broadly within coastal food webs and their classification as obligate predators of gelatinous zooplankton requires revision.
متن کاملLong-Term GPS Tracking of Ocean Sunfish Mola mola Offers a New Direction in Fish Monitoring
Satellite tracking of large pelagic fish provides insights on free-ranging behaviour, distributions and population structuring. Up to now, such fish have been tracked remotely using two principal methods: direct positioning of transmitters by Argos polar-orbiting satellites, and satellite relay of tag-derived light-level data for post hoc track reconstruction. Error fields associated with posit...
