Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are found circumglobally in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate waters, and their known seasonal aggregations and migratory movements are influenced by factors such as ocean currents, thermobiological systems, and patterns of productivity. Several locations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are known habitats for R. typus; Although it has long been known that whale sharks aggregate along the Panama coast, little is known in relation to their movement patterns, behavior, and habitat use. In this study, we investigated the movements and behaviors of R. typus tagged in Panama in relation to oceanographic variables and examined the overlap of foraging habitat and migratory routes with marine protected areas (MPAs), industrial fishing areas, and marine traffic.

La estructura de clasificación de la lista de especies Blue Five para la biblioteca digital ha sido
elaborada siguiendo criterios tanto científicos como de accesibilidad para facilitar la búsqueda de
información. En primer lugar, se organizaron las especies basándose en la taxonomía aceptada por la
comunidad científica para garantizar precisión y coherencia. Simultáneamente, se han implementado
categorías y subcategorías, considerando características morfológicas, su distribución y el uso de los
nombres comunes, con el fin de optimizar la navegación y búsqueda de datos por parte de los usuarios.
Esta metodología equilibrada asegura que la lista no solo sea científicamente rigurosa, sino también
fácil de consultar para quienes necesiten acceder a información específica de manera eficiente.
