Title: | Movement patterns and habitat use of the silver tip shark ("Carcharhinus albimarginatus") at the Revillagigedo Archipelago | Authors: | Muntaner López, Gádor | Director: | Gómez Cabrera, María Milagrosa Hoyos Padilla, Mauricio |
UNESCO Clasification: | 240119 Zoología marina | Keywords: | Tiburones | Issue Date: | 2016 | Abstract: | The Revillegigedo Archipelago Biosphere Reserve is home to several shark species that spend at least part of their life history associated with oceanic islands associated with hotspots of pelagic biodiversity and in particular with apex predators. Silvertip sharks (Carcharhinus albimarginatus) are is commonly found in all the islands of the archipelago. However, very little is known about the spatial and temporal scales of their habitat use and associated ecological role. In this study, we employed passive acoustic telemetry to investigate the residency patterns and migration dynamics of 35 silvertip sharks tagged in three islands of the archipelago (San Benedicto, Socorro and Roca Partida) and monitored for a period of between 7 and 1165 (mean ± SD: 553.7± 354.2) days. | Department: | Departamento de Biología | Faculty: | Facultad de Ciencias del Mar | Degree: | Grado en Ciencias del Mar | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/18439 | Rights: | by-nc-nd |
