Investigating Behaviour and Population Dynamics of Striped Marlin (Kajikia audax) from the Southwest Pacific Ocean with Satellite Tags
Figure 4
A. Kaplan-Meier survival curve over first 30 days at liberty (solid stepped line) with 95% confidence intervals (dotted stepped lines). The probability of feeding through time is 1 - probability of not feeding (1 minus y-axis), with the odds of feeding or not estimated to be even (50∶50) at day 16 since release (straight horizontal dashed line). B. Proportions of striped marlin in behavioural modes 1–4 by days at liberty. For each day, width of bubbles (called ‘beans’) represents proportion of all pooled striped marlin in each behavioural mode and blue dashes are mean behavioural mode for all pooled marlin. C. Five striped marlin tagged before 1 March (2005 and 2006) which circled back towards their tagging locations. Black squares represent tagging locations and black triangles are final transmitted locations. D. Distance away from initial capture location for each marlin, ordered by calendar tagging date. Color blocks (legend at top) denote straight-line distance (km) from initial release location, and the vertical black line marks 1 March, denoting ‘early’ and ‘late’ season.
