Fig. 2. Comparison of epipelagic water occupation by each tagged elasmobranch species.
Mean percentage of time at liberty spent by tagged elasmobranchs within the (A) top 5, (B) top 50, (C) top 100, and (D) top 250 m of the water column. Error bars represent ±1 SD and are truncated at 0 and 100%. Exact values can be extracted from table S4, along with the mean percentage of time spent in the top 10 m. Species are sorted from top to bottom by lowest to highest use of the top 250 m to ease interpretability. Cuban dogfish and Arctic skate spent all their time deeper than 250 m.
