Diel patterns in depth, temperature, and vertical displacement rates. (a) Mean proportion of time spent at depth (TAD) and (b) temperature (TAT) by time of day for all recovered archival records aggregated by ecoregion. Plots are color-coded by proportion of time. Proportions greater than 0.25 were truncated for clearer illustration and higher proportions were observed. (c) Mean vertical displacement rate by depth and time of day for all recovered archival records. Plots are color-coded by vertical displacement rate. Values greater than 0.5 m s-1 were truncated for clearer illustration and higher values were observed. Note all eleven sharks (865 total days) with recovered archival records were present in the Alaska Coastal Downwelling (AK); five sharks (212 total days) migrated to the Subarctic Gyre (SAG); two sharks migrated to the North Pacific Transition Zone (NPTZ; 94 total days) and Subtropical Gyre (STG; 107 total days); and one shark (145 total days) migrated to the California Current (CA).
