从远洋延绳钓渔具捕获和释放的 26 只红蠵龟（Caretta caretta）和 10 只丽龟（Lepidochelys olivacea）海龟的卫星遥测数据提供了有关海龟在北太平洋中部的位置和运动的信息。这些数据与卫星遥感的环境数据一起用于描述这些海龟所使用的海洋栖息地。结果表明，赤蠵龟向西移动，主要通过北纬 28-40 度地区进行季节性南北移动，海面温度 (SST) 为 15-25 摄氏度。他们的潜水深度分布表明，他们 40% 的时间在水面，90% 的时间在深处
Satellite telemetry from 26 loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and 10 olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) sea turtles captured and released from pelagic longline fishing gear provided information on the turtles' position and movement in the central North Pacific. These data together with environmental data from satellite remote sensing are used to describe the oceanic habitat used by these turtles. The results indicate that loggerheads travel westward, move seasonally north and south primarily through the region 28-40degreesN, and occupy sea surface temperatures (SST) of 15-25degreesC. Their dive depth distribution indicated that they spend 40% of their time at the surface and 90% of their time at depths
