Whale sharks increase swimming effort while filter feeding, but appear to maintain high foraging efficiencies RESEARCH ARTICLE
David E. Cade, J. Jacob Levenson, Robert Cooper, Rafael de la Parra, D. Harry Webb, and Alistair D. M. Dove Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus Smith 1828) – the largest extant fish species – reside in tropical environments, making them an exception to the general rule that animal size increases with latitude. How this largest fish thrives in tropical environments that promote high metabolism but support less robust zooplankton communities has not been sufficiently explained. We used open-source inertial measurement units (IMU) to log 397 hours of whale shark behavior in Yucatan, Mexico, at a site of both active feed...
