Serial assessment of the physiological status of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) during direct capture events in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean: comparison of post-capture and pre-release data
Charles J. Innis,Constance Merigo,Julie M. Cavin,Kathleen E. Hunt,Kara L. Dodge,Molly Lutcavage +5 more
TL;DR: Health parameters for endangered leatherback turtles as they were captured in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean indicated that turtles were healthy and capture events were smoothly conducted, but changes in blood pH and potassium concentrations were detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movements and geographic distribution of juvenile bluefin tuna in the Northeast Atlantic, described through internal and satellite archival tags
Igor Arregui,Benjamin Galuardi,Nicolas Goñi,Chi Hin Lam,Igaratza Fraile,Josu Santiago,Molly Lutcavage,Haritz Arrizabalaga +7 more
TL;DR: Arregui et al. as discussed by the authors described the movements and geographic distribution of juvenile bluefin tuna in the Northeast Atlantic, described through internal and satellite archival tags, and described the movement of the fish in the Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reply to Hussey et al.: The requirement for accurate diet-tissue discrimination factors for interpreting stable isotopes in sharks
John M. Logan,Molly Lutcavage +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the broad body of literature on teleost discrimination factors currently offers useful information for isotope studies on the diverse assemblage of elasmobranch species with vastly different diets, growth rates, and lifestyles relative to the species examined in the Hussey et al. (2010b) study.

Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus feeding ecology in the northern Gulf of Mexico: a preliminary description of diet from the western Atlantic spawning grounds
C. M. Butler,John M. Logan,J. M. Provaznik,J. M. Provaznik,Eric R. Hoffmayer,Michelle D. Staudinger,Michelle D. Staudinger,Joseph M. Quattro,Mark Roberts,G. W. Ingram,A. G. Pollack,Molly Lutcavage,Molly Lutcavage +12 more
TL;DR: Results reveal the need to classify the GOMEX as a T. thynnus feeding ground, and a combination of stomach contents, nitrogen stable-isotope and tissue C:N values are presented to demonstrate feeding activity of Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thunnus on the Gulf of Mexico spawning grounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in the Gulf of Maine, I: Estimation of Seasonal Abundance Accounting for Movement, School and School-Aggregation Behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal abundance of North Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) from a 3-year aerial survey conducted with commercial spotter pilots, while also utilizing findings from analyses of tracking and tagging data.
