Movement Patterns and Habitat Use of Tiger Sharks Across Ontogeny in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010-2018
The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is globally distributed with established coastal and open-ocean movement patterns in many portions of its range. While all life stages of tiger sharks are known to occur in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), variability in habitat use and movement patterns over ontogeny ha...

The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is globally distributed with established coastal and open-ocean movement patterns in many portions of its range. While all life stages of tiger sharks are known to occur in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), variability in habitat use and movement patterns over ontogeny have never been quantified in this large marine ecosystem. To address this data gap we fitted 56 tiger sharks with Wildlife Computers Smart Position or Temperature (SPOT) transmitting tags between 2010 and 2018 and examined seasonal and spatial distribution patterns across the GoM.
