Tracking the southern Brazilian schools of Mugil liza during reproductive migration using VMS of purse seiners

Brazilian mullet Mugil liza is a schooling fish that migrates in fall and winter, leaving estuaries and coastal lagoons to spawn in ocean waters. In order to understand the reproductive migration pattern of southern stock along Brazil's coast, we analyzed data collected through the Brazilian Sa...
