Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Assessment of the Reproductive Status of Female Atlantic Bluefin Tuna from the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean Sea
TL;DR: This study represents the first comparative histological analysis of the eastern and western spawning stocks whose findings, combined with new determinations of size/age at maturity and possible alternative spawning areas, might suggest basic life history attributes warrant further scientific and management attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas Exchange in the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta Caretta
TL;DR: Evidence based on an estimated lung-capillary O 2 gradient, δP o 2, shows that only a small driving gradient is required for O 2 conductance across the loggerhead turtle lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of cephalopod prey to the diet of large pelagic fish predators in the central North Atlantic Ocean
John M. Logan,Rebecca Toppin,Sean C. Smith,Benjamin Galuardi,Benjamin Galuardi,Julie M. Porter,Molly Lutcavage,Molly Lutcavage +7 more
TL;DR: The results support findings in other ocean basins that demonstrate the importance of squid to large pelagic fishes and highlight the need for more research on their ecological and biophysical dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet and condition of Atlantic bluefin tuna ( Thunnus thynnus ) in the Gulf of Maine, 2004–2008
John M. Logan,Walter J. Golet,Walter J. Golet,Walter J. Golet,Molly Lutcavage,Molly Lutcavage +5 more
TL;DR: Lean ABFT were lighter with lower nitrogen and higher carbon isotope values than co-occurring ABFT with higher lipid stores in the fall, consistent with shelf vs. offshore isotope baseline differences in the western North Atlantic and variable arrival and residency patterns for ABFT in the Gulf of Maine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inclusion of prey data improves prediction of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) distribution
Robert S. Schick,Molly Lutcavage +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the distribution of bluefin tuna significantly correlated with herring density, and that inclusion of biological variables results in a more parsimonious model.
