Some particular types of migration are anadromous, in which adult fish live in the sea and migrate into fresh water to spawn; and catadromous, in which adult fish live in fresh water and migrate into salt water to spawn. [2] Marine forage fish often make large migrations between their spawning, feeding and nursery grounds. Their movements are ...
After the transition, the schools start migrating, extending up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) across the ocean, to shallow parts of the bank. There they spawn during the night. In the morning, the fish school back to deeper water again and then disband. Small groups of leaders were also discovered that significantly influenced much larger groups. [79]
A deep-diving swordfish, photographed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at 701 meters below the surface. Swordfish prefer water temperatures between 18 and 22 °C (64 and 72 °F), [3] but have the widest tolerance among billfish, and can be found from 5 to 27 °C (41 to 81 °F). [6]
This is the most common form of vertical migration. Organisms migrate on a daily basis through different depths in the water column. Migration usually occurs between shallow surface waters of the epipelagic zone and deeper mesopelagic zone of the ocean or hypolimnion zone of lakes. [2] There are three recognized types of diel vertical migration:
Laminaria in the Strait of Messina. The hydrology of the Strait of Messina accommodates a variety of populations of marine organisms. The intense currents and characteristic chemistry of the waters of the Strait determine an extraordinary biocoenosis in the Mediterranean Sea with a high abundance and diversity of species; the Strait of Messina, therefore constitutes an area of fundamental ...

In July, some mature individuals migrate back towards the sea, sometimes crossing wet grasslands at night to reach rivers that lead to the sea. Eel migrations out of their freshwater growth habitats from various parts of Europe, or through the Baltic Sea in the Danish straits, have been the basis of traditional fisheries with characteristic ...
The upcoming eclipse in April gives researchers an opportunity to ask new questions including about potential impacts on spring migration. Most songbird species migrate at night.
