  abstract = {{S}everal pelagic fish species are known to regularly associate with floating objects in the open ocean, including commercially valuable species. {T}he tuna purse seine industry takes advantage of this associative behavior and has been increasingly deploying free-drifting man-made floating objects, also known as fish aggregating devices ({FAD}s). {U}sing passive acoustic telemetry, this study describes the associative dynamics of the main targeted tropical tuna species ({T}hunnus albacores, {T}. obelus and {K}atsuwonus pelamis), as well as three major bycatch species, silky shark ({C}archarhinus falciformis), rainbow runner ({E}lagatis bipinmdata) and oceanic triggerfish ({C}anthidermis maculata). {S}hort-term excursions away from the {FAD}s were frequently performed by all tuna species as well by silky sharks. {T}hese excursions were characterized by a marked diel pattern, mainly occurring during nighttime. {R}ainbow runners and oceanic triggerfish were much more present at the {FAD}s and rarely performed excursions. {A}verage continuous residence times ({CRT}s) ranged from 6 days, for silky shark, up to 25 days for bigeye tuna. {S}imilar to silky shark, average {CRT}s for skipjack tuna and oceanic triggerfish were less than 10 days. {F}or yellowfin tuna and rainbow runner, {CRT}s averaged 19 and 16 days, respectively. {B}igeye and yellowfin tuna remained associated to a single drifting {FAD} for a record of 55 days and 607 km traveled.},
