“…Arrizabalaga et al () also found these environmental preferences for BFT species in a broad study covering the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Even though the preferential thermal range derived from the model was much lower than the recognized spawning temperature threshold of 24°C (Schaefer, ), recent estimations set the thermal conditions of the spawning season onset closer to our results (Alemany et al, ; Gordoa & Carreras, ; Reglero, Balbín, et al, ; Reglero, Ortega, et al, ). In addition, greater BCPUEs were found related to negative SLA, an indicator of mesoscale cyclonic eddies, which associated with increased productivity (Biggs & Muller‐Karger, ; Gasca, ) have been recognized as key areas for reproduction and recruitment of many fish species (Bakun, ; Condie & Condie, ; Condie, Mansbridge, & Cahill, ).…”
