Acknowledgments

Y. Kusaba and N. Ogawa (Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo) kindly supported the otolith microchemistry analysis. K. Yagyu (Kochi University) helped our histological observation of the ovary. M. Nakae (National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba) received our deposition of the specimen. G. Hardy (Ngunguru, New Zealand) read the manuscript and offered helpful comments on English. Iriomote Station of the Tropical Biosphere Research Center, University of the Ryukyus, permitted us to use its facilities for our research activities on Iriomote Island. All experiments were approved by the Animal Care Committee of University of the Ryukyus. This study was partly supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number: 19J13664 (to MS); 19J22686 (to HK); 18K06412 (to MI); and 19K06810 (to KuS), Fujiwara Natural History Foundation (to MS), and the Cooperative Program (No. 118, 2019) of Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo.
