Figure 5

Time-at-depth distribution of tag 195550 and tag 195553 in different time periods. White dash-line represents the depth range of thermocline and red dash-line represents the depth of mixed layer. S1 (fish 195550: 1/11–14; fish 195553: 12/18–1/16) represents the tagged individuals that moved southward. S2 (fish 195550: 2/10–25; fish 195553: 1/26–2/25) represents the tagged individuals that swam cross the North Equatorial Current. S3 (fish 195550: 3/4–18; fish 195553: 3/15–4/3) represents the tagged individuals that moved along the Equatorial Counter Current. S4 (fish 195550: 5/8–20; fish 195553: 4/11–4/30) represents the tagged individuals that moved cross the South Equatorial Current. S5 (fish 195550: 7/1–31) represents the tagged individuals that moved to southern hemisphere. NEC is North Equatorial Current. ECC is Equatorial Counter Current. SEC is South Equatorial Current. Orange line in the right bottom plot represents the most probable track of fish 195550 and purple line represents the most probable track of fish 195553.
