Patches and behaviors associated with segments.

Data from the focal follow observations indicate that not all of the segments initially identified as ARS involved intensive search at resource patches. Thirty-six of the segments were short segments at the very beginning (N = 20) or end (N = 16) of a trip with mean lengths of 184 seconds and 85 seconds respectively. Most of these cases involve slower movement at the landing site in the harbor as a trip was getting underway or coming to an end (Fig. 7). Eighteen of the remaining segments identified as ARS were patches that did not involve FAD fishing. Nine of the patches were encounters with floating debris (wood). One was an encounter with a school or tash of dolphinfish. One segment identified as ARS was a period of socializing with other boats that were met at sea. Six segments were ARS at one of the shallow water FADs (Twins). Finally, one segment of ARS involved an intensive search for the FAD itself that was ultimately not found. FADs are not always found with ease. The remaining 42 segments are associated with the 42 FAD visits identified during observations.Patches and behaviors associated with segments.
