Migratory tracks and diving behavior of 18 adult female olive ridley turtles during migration from French Guiana.
Quantification of the relationships between foraging behavior and (a) oceanographic features, (b) micronekton biomass.
Remote sensing data showed a productive area influenced by the Amazon River plume and characterized by anticyclonic eddies.
Horizontal foraging strategies were related to high micronekton biomass and low current velocities.
Vertical foraging strategies were linked to the thermocline depth.
