Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, association with ocean currents and seasonal effects of upwelling using real-time Argos locations by Chelsea E. Clyde-Brockway, Chelsea E. Clyde-Brockway, Samir Harshad Patel, Gabriela Blanco, Samuel J. Friederichk, Stephen Morreale, Frank V. Paladino, Frank V. Paladino

“…Despite the known fluctuations associated with seasonal upwelling in the eastern Pacific, sailfish experienced relatively stable microenvironments with average temperature variability remaining within 2°C. Behavioral modification to achieve this consistency could be through depth use (48 ± 28 m vs. 37 ± 47 m), though this mechanism alone seems unlikely to fully explain their ability to mitigate environmental dynamics. …”
