'Drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) are widely used in tuna purse seine fisheries, yet the mechanisms underlying tuna association behavior remain insufficiently understood. Based on DFADs trajectory and echosounder buoy data collected in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean from November 2020 to June 2021, this study reconstructed DFADs drift trajectories using an integrated Lagrangian simulation and machine learning framework, and further analyzed the temporal dynamics and key drivers of tuna association behavior based on acoustic observations concentrated around sunrise. The results showed that tuna association intensity gradually increased after DFADs deployment, remained relatively high between Days 15 and 30, and peaked around the 30th drifting day. In addition, tuna association behavior exhibited a potential lunar periodicity, with higher colonization probability occurring after the full moon. Generalized additive models identified sea water salinity, dissolved oxygen, upper-ocean thermal conditions, and DFADs drift persistence as the dominant factors influencing tuna association behavior. Overall, stable and suitable environmental conditions and directionally persistent drift trajectories were associated with more stable tuna aggregations. These findings provide useful references for optimizing DFADs deployment and supporting sustainable tuna fishery management.',

'Introduction: The Mediterranean is a major hotspot for floating marine macro-litter (FMML) accumulation, yet spatially explicit, observation-grounded predictions of its transport and coastal deposition remain scarce. We present a data-driven stochastic Lagrangian framework that uses monthly gridded FMML observations from systematic shipboard surveys as simulation initial conditions complementing existing source-based modelling approaches.Methods: Observations were collected from August 2023 to December 2024 within the LIFE Conceptu Maris Project using ferries as monitoring platforms under a standardised protocol. A total of 158 surveys detected 4,801 FMML items across approximately 6,200 km² of surveyed sea surface, of which more than 62% were artificial polymers. Observed monthly FMML item counts at 5 × 5 km resolution initialised ensemble Lagrangian simulations (18 members per target month; 17.2–32.5 million virtual particles per seeding window, 5,000 particles per observed item) using Parcels, forced by Copernicus Marine Service Mediterranean reanalysis currents and ERA5 wind fields with a 1% windage coefficient and a 2D random-walk turbulent diffusion scheme. Monthly frequency-of-occurrence maps were computed at the sea surface and on coastlines.Results: The Southern Tyrrhenian and Northern Ligurian seas, including the Pelagos Sanctuary, exhibited in 2024 near-persistent high sea surface FMML occurrence, peaking in late summer–autumn and reaching a seasonal minimum in winter–early spring. The Balearic Sea showed elevated occurrence from late spring through summer (May–September), declining through autumn. The Adriatic displayed intense sub-basin-scale spreading from January to June and again in December, with summer leakage into the Northern Ionian Sea. Coastal deposition frequencies were highest on Corsica, western Sardinia and northern Tunisia, then the south-eastern Tyrrhenian and Ligurian–Tuscan margins, with Valencia–Barcelona largely confined to summer. Integration with loggerhead turtle nesting records illustrates how coastal frequency-of-occurrence maps can support conservation applications.Discussion: A web-based Particle Analysis Dashboard translates these outputs into an interactive tool with Marine Protected and Conserved Area overlays for scientists and decision-makers. The framework provides a scalable, observation-anchored foundation for MSFD Descriptor 10 monitoring, transferable to other semi-enclosed sea basins. Priority future work includes complementary validation against independent beach-litter monitoring data, integration of land-based source inventories, and linkage with species distribution models.',
