Table 2 Summary data for meagre tagged with satellite transmitters (MiniPATs). Track Distance: total distance based on the reconstructed track (shortest in-water paths); Light, SST, Depth-Temperature Profile (PDT) and Depth columns indicate percent of deployment days with light-based location estimates, sea surface temperature data, depth-temperature profiles and maximum depths, respectively. Observation Likelihoods indicate the data streams used to reconstruct the most probable track for each animal: L - light-based longitude, S - sea surface temperature, H - HYCOM depth-temperature profiles, W - World Ocean Atlas depth-temperature profiles, O - integrated Ocean Heat Content, B - bathymetry. Mean values (± SE) are displayed on the bottom. IDs with an asterisk indicate tags that were physically recovered
