“…(2007), 25.8 ± 4.0 °C in Amezcua et al . (2020), 26–28 °C during February 2017 in the current study, 18–23°C in Ortega (1995), and 23–25 °C during May 2017 and 25–28 °C during May 2017 and February 2018 in the current study. The pattern seen during the wet/warm season of neutral years is therefore likely due to a combination of oceanographic conditions such as circulation, water stratification and food availability, and not just water temperature, that may be favourable to the foraging, reproduction, larval retention and survival, etc ., of this species.…”
