Depth distribution and temperature preferences of wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) off Baja California Sur, Mexico

The depth distribution and temperature preferences of wahoo ( Acanthocybium solandri ) were quantified in the eastern North Pacific using archival tags. One hundred and eight data-loggers were deployed on wahoo (105–165-cm fork length) from 2005 to 2008 at three locations off of the coast of Baja Ca...

Zusammenfassung:	The depth distribution and temperature preferences of wahoo ( Acanthocybium solandri ) were quantified in the eastern North Pacific using archival tags. One hundred and eight data-loggers were deployed on wahoo (105–165-cm fork length) from 2005 to 2008 at three locations off of the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico (Alijos Rocks, 25°00′N/115°45′W; Magdalena Bay Ridge, 25°55′N/113°21′W; Hurricane Bank, 16°51′N/117°29′W). Twenty-five tagged individuals (23%) were recaptured within close proximity (
