Diving behavior of the reef manta ray links coral reefs with adjacent deep pelagic habitats.
Recent successful efforts to increase protection for manta rays has highlighted the lack of basic ecological information, including vertical and horizontal movement patterns, available for these species. We deployed pop-up satellite archival transmitting tags on nine reef manta rays, Manta alfredi,...
