Behavior of Skipjack Tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, as Determined by Tracking with Ultrasonic Devices
TLDR
The repeated morning returns of theskipjack tuna to Kaula Bank imply that skipjack tuna can navigate and that they have a sense of time.Abstract:
A 50-kHz transmitter was placed in the stomach of a 44-cm (estimated) skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, at Kaula Bank, Hawaii. With a few interruptions the fish was tracked from August 30 to Septe...read more

1 - Form, Function, and Locomotory Habits in Fish
TL;DR: Some fish are capable of brief aerial locomotion by passive gliding rather than by flying (and swim underwater by conventional body undulations), comparable to those restricted groups of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles that can glide but are not primarily adapted to this mode of locomotion.

2 Swimming Capacity
TL;DR: The measurements of the swimming capacity of fish are discussed, which represents the daily movements of fish, including foraging and station holding, which includes periods of steady and unsteady swimming.

Eat and run? The hunger/satiation hypothesis in vertical migration: history, evidence and consequences
TL;DR: This review examines evidence for individual vertical movements gathered from ‘tracers ‘, mainly gut contents, and reviews the evidence for the hypothesis that such movements are in fact driven by hunger and satiation.

Daily patterns in the activities of swordfish, Xiphias gladius, observed by acoustic telemetry
F.G. Carey,B.H. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the horizontal and vertical movements of swordfish using acoustic telemetry and found that the vertical movements were associated with temperature changes of as much as 19" C within 2 hours.
Horizontal and vertical movements of yellowfin and bigeye tuna associated with fish aggregating devices
Kim N. Holland,Richard W. BrilK +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used pressure sensitive ultrasonic transmitters to determine the diurnal movements of bigeye and yellowfin tuna near fish-aggrc gating devices (FADs).

An Ultrasonic Transmitter for Use in Studies of Movements of Fishes
TL;DR: A study of the frequency of recapture of spawning white bass, marked with “dummy” transmitters in various ways, suggested that implantation in the stomach provided the more satisfactory tagging procedure.

Open-Water Orientation of White Bass, Roccus chrysops, as Determined by Ultrasonic Tracking Methods
TL;DR: In the spring and summer of 1965, 26 white bass, Roccus chrysops (Rafinesque), were displaced to open water on Lake Mendota, Wisconsin, and their paths traced by means of ultrasonic transmitters were traced.
