- Abstract
Unifying models have shown that the amount of space used by animals (e.g., activity space, home range) scales allometrically with body mass for terrestrial taxa; however, such relationships are far less clear for marine species. We compiled movement data from 1,596 individuals across 79 taxa collected using a continental passive acoustic telemetry network of acoustic receivers to assess allometric scaling of activity space. We found that ectothermic marine taxa do exhibit allometric scaling for activity space, with an overall scaling exponent of 0.64. However, body mass alone explained only 35% of the variation, with the remaining variation best explained by trophic position for teleosts and latitude for sharks, rays, and marine reptiles. Taxon-specific allometric relationships highlighted weaker scaling exponents among teleost fish species (0.07) than sharks (0.96), rays (0.55), and marine reptiles (0.57). The allometric scaling relationship and scaling exponents for the marine taxonomic groups examined were lower than those reported from studies that had collated both marine and terrestrial species data derived using various tracking methods. We propose that these disparities arise because previous work integrated summarized data across many studies that used differing methods for collecting and quantifying activity space, introducing considerable uncertainty into slope estimates. Our findings highlight the benefit of using large-scale, coordinated animal biotelemetry networks to address cross-taxa evolutionary and ecological questions.

- Abstract
Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have mostly focused on horizontal movements. Our study addresses the knowledge gap of vertical movements by compiling the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by elasmobranchs from data obtained by deployment of 989 biotelemetry tags on 38 elasmobranch species. Elasmobranchs displayed high intra- and interspecific variability in vertical movement patterns. Substantial vertical overlap was observed for many epipelagic elasmobranchs, indicating an increased likelihood to display spatial overlap, biologically interact, and share similar risk to anthropogenic threats that vary on a vertical gradient. We highlight the critical next steps toward incorporating vertical movement into global management and monitoring strategies for elasmobranchs, emphasizing the need to address geographic and taxonomic biases in deployments and to concurrently consider both horizontal and vertical movements. Vertical habitat use by sharks, rays, and skates varies globally and has implications for their conservation and management.

- Abstract
Manta and devil rays are filter-feeding elasmobranchs that are found circumglobally in tropical and subtropical waters. Although relatively understudied for most of the Twentieth century, public awareness and scientific research on these species has increased dramatically in recent years. Much of this attention has been in response to targeted fisheries, international trade in mobulid products, and a growing concern over the fate of exploited populations. Despite progress in mobulid research, major knowledge gaps still exist, hindering the development of effective management and conservation strategies. We assembled 30 leaders and emerging experts in the fields of mobulid biology, ecology, and conservation to identify pressing knowledge gaps that must be filled to facilitate improved science-based management of these vulnerable species. We highlight focal research topics in the subject areas of taxonomy and diversity, life history, reproduction and nursery areas, population trends, bycatch and fisheries, spatial dynamics and movements, foraging and diving, pollution and contaminants, and sub-lethal impacts. Mobulid rays remain a poorly studied group, and therefore our list of important knowledge gaps is extensive. However, we hope that this identification of high priority knowledge gaps will stimulate and focus future mobulid research.

The known distribution of manta rays in Australian waters is patchy, with records primarily centred around tourism hotspots. We collated 11,614 records of Mobula alfredi from photo‐ID databases (n = 10,715), aerial surveys (n = 378) and online reports (n = 521). The study confirms an uninterrupted coastal distribution from north of 26°S and 31°S on the west and east coasts, respectively. More southerly M. alfredi records relate to warm‐water events with a southernmost extent at 34°S. Coastal sightings of Mobula birostris were rare (n = 32), likely reflecting a preference for offshore waters, but encompass a wider latitudinal extent than M. alfredi of 10–40°S.

- Abstract
Fish cleaning in the marine environment is a mutualistic interaction where one participant, the cleaner, removes parasites, scales and mucus from the other participant, the client at sites called cleaning stations. Most studies of cleaning station client communities have focused on ray-finned fish while elasmobranchs have received less attention. As wildlife tourism commonly targets cleaning stations as sites to swim with manta rays and sharks, there is a need to improve understanding of how elasmobranchs use cleaning stations. Additionally, little work has been done to assess if and how tourism has impacts on manta rays or their ecosystems. A resident population of manta rays forms the basis of a manta ray tourism industry Bateman Bay, Western Australia which uses manta ray and shark cleaning stations as sites for interactions. This makes Bateman Bay an ideal area to address the current gaps in understanding of elasmobranch cleaning station use and the effects tourism may have on manta ray cleaning behaviour. This study assessed the species composition and cleaning behaviours of the client community of the Point Maud and North Reef cleaning stations in Bateman Bay, Western Australia. Focus was given to the visitation frequency and cleaning behaviours of elasmobranch clients. The frequency of boat traffic and tourist presence at these sites and the proximity of manta ray tour interactions to cleaning stations was also studied. Using a remote underwater video system, 413 cleaning events involving 45 client species from 22 families including ray-finned fish, elasmobranchs and turtles were observed. Scaridae, Carcharhinidae, Labridae, Lethrinidae and Mobulidae clients contributed to 77.97% of the observed cleaning events. Differences in client community composition appeared to be driven more by season than site. Visitation rates and cleaning behaviours varied between elasmobranch families. Sharks and manta rays had the highest visitation rate for Point Maud in autumn

- Abstract
Over the past two decades snorkelling or diving with manta rays has become a highly sought after experience for tourists worldwide. The Coral Bay manta ray interaction industry has experienced significant growth since its inception in the early 1990s, and concerns have been raised in recent years regarding disturbance to the manta ray population, and behavioural changes due to tourist interactions. This study was a preliminary assessment of the effect of tourism interactions on Manta alfredi behaviour in Coral Bay, Western Australia. In order to identify behavioural responses or changes, the natural behaviours exhibited by manta rays in the waters of Coral Bay were identified and described, and in doing so this study was the first to describe in detail four distinct foraging behaviours that are yet to be explained in the published literature. A total of 91 manta ray interactions were observed over a four month period to determine the frequency, form and influencing factors of short-term behavioural responses to three separate elements of the tourist interactions: the interaction with the swim group, the tour vessel and the attempt at capturing an identification photo. Behavioural responses were exhibited by manta rays during 34.1 % of interactions with swim groups (n = 91), 15.5 % of interactions with tour vessels (n = 98), and 48.1 % of manta rays exhibited a response to photo identification attempts (n = 77). Several factors were found to influence the occurrence of a behavioural response including the initial behavioural state and age class of the manta ray, the amount of surface splash, the approach strategy of the tour operator or photographer, the duration of the interaction and whether or not it was the manta ray’s first interaction that day. Forms of behavioural responses ranged from immediate avoidance responses to changes in behavioural state, including the termination of feeding behaviours and departure from cleaning stations.

Localized population declines and increased pressure from fisheries have prompted the promotion of manta ray interaction tourism as a non-consumptive, yet economically attractive alternative to the unsustainable harvesting of these animals. Unfortunately however, wildlife tourism activities have the potential to adversely impact focal species. In order to be sustainable, operations must be managed to mitigate negative impacts. A preliminary assessment of reef manta ray Manta alfredi behaviour identified short-term behavioural responses during a third of tourism interactions in the Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia. Although it remains unknown whether these responses translate to biologically significant impacts on the population as a whole, it is proposed that the precautionary principle be used to guide management intervention in the absence of conclusive evidence of the magnitude of tourism impacts. The principle supports the implementation of precautionary strategies to protect species and their environment from harm, even when the extent of the harm is yet to be confirmed. An increase in the level of industry management is recommended, including the implementation of a licensing system and adherence of all operators to a mandatory code of conduct during manta ray interactions. Considering the well designed and precautionary-driven management program of the Ningaloo whale shark tourism industry operating within the same marine park, a management program with the same underlying principles and objectives is deemed to be an ideal framework to build a comprehensive management plan for the manta ray interaction industry., http://www.publish.csiro.au/view/journals/dsp_journals_pip_abstract_scholar1.cfm?nid=302&pip=PC16003

20 pages, 3 tables, 5 figures.-- Samantha Andrzejaczek ... et al.-- Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial License 4.0 (CC BY-NC), Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have mostly focused on horizontal movements. Our study addresses the knowledge gap of vertical movements by compiling the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by elasmobranchs from data obtained by deployment of 989 biotelemetry tags on 38 elasmobranch species. Elasmobranchs displayed high intra- and interspecific variability in vertical movement patterns. Substantial vertical overlap was observed for many epipelagic elasmobranchs, indicating an increased likelihood to display spatial overlap, biologically interact, and share similar risk to anthropogenic threats that vary on a vertical gradient. We highlight the critical next steps toward incorporating vertical movement into global management and monitoring strategies for elasmobranchs, emphasizing the need to address geographic and taxonomic biases in deployments and to concurrently consider both horizontal and vertical movements, Data analysis was funded by the Bertarelli Foundation through the Marine Science program through grants to D.J.C., B.A.B., and S.A.
