Origins of green turtle fishery bycatch in the central Pacific revealed by mixed genetic markers
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Longline fishing vessels, such as those that target tuna or billfish, also unintentionally catch endangered marine turtle species on the high seas. The stock composition of this bycatch is often unknown but potentially complex, with individuals coming ...

Surface mucous as a source of genomic DNA from Atlantic billfishes (Istiophoridae) and swordfish (Xiphiidae) [PDF]
, 2009 Procedures for sampling genomic DNA from live billfishes involve manual restraint and tissue excision that can be difficult to carry out and may produce stresses that affect fish survival.

Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2019 Blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) is a common bycatch species in the global tuna longline fishery. In this study, we applied a common data-poor approach, i.e., depletion-corrected average catch (DCAC) to assess stock status of the Indian Ocean blue marlin.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Movements and spawning of white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus) and blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) off Punta Cana, Dominican Republic [PDF]
, 2005 With a focus on white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus), a concurrent electronic tagging and larval sampling effort was conducted in the vicinity of Mona Passage (off southeast Hispaniola), Dominican Republic, during April and May 2003.

BILLFISHES ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO FLATFISH [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010 ![Figure][1] Scombroids are a collection of primarily predatory fish that include mackerels, tunas, bonitos and billfishes, found worldwide in tropical and temperate waters. Most scombroids are speedy swimmers, with a streamlined body shape as well as muscular, metabolic and ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Toward identification of larval sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus), white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus), and blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) in the western North Atlantic Ocean* [PDF]
, 2005 The identification of larval istiophorid billfishes from the western North Atlantic Ocean has long been problematic. In the present study, a molecular technique was used to positively identify 27 larval white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus), 96 larval blue ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.
