The world’s largest fish, the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, is a highly mobile species that occurs in tropical and warm temperate seas worldwide (Rowat and Brooks 2012).
Whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, are found circumglobally in tropical and warm temperate seas, exhibiting a range of residency and movement patterns. To determine spatio-temporal habitat use by juvenile male whale sharks in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia, we collected data from June 2015 to November 2016 using 16 fin-mounted satellite tags that provided exceptionally long track durations.
