 tory transit or as a feeding destination as suggested by the 

 short and long periods of time spent at the seamount. 



Acknowledgments 



We would like to thank those on the staffof Centro de Inves- 

 tigaciones Biologicas del Baja Norte of La Paz, Mexico, who 

 helped us tag yellowfin tuna at seamount Espiritu Santo.
