Backbone Mechanics of the Blue Marlin Makaira Nigricans (Pisces, Istiophoridae)
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1990ABSTRACT Over most of its length, the backbone of the blue marlin, like that of all other istiophorids, contains enlarged and flattened neural and hemal spines and zygapophyses, all of which span the intervertebral joints. These plates of bone restrict dorso-ventral bending of the backbone but their arrangement permits a high degree of ...

Feeding Habits of Four Species of Istiophoridae (Pisces: Perciformes) from Northeastern Brazil
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2004Billfishes from the Brazilian oceanic northeastern region feed on a large food spectrum composed mainly of epipelagic species of fish and cephalopods, with occasional occurrences of mesopelagic organisms and crustaceans. The oceanic pomfret, Brama brama, and the squid, Ornithoteuthis antillarum, were the main prey items in the diet of the four species,

Evolutionary affinities among fossil and living billfishes (Teleostei: Istiophoridae)
2023Istiophoridae (marlins, sailfishes, and spearfishes) is a billfish family with high economic and ecological importance occurring in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. They are characterized by possessing a long upper jaw composed of paired prenasals, nasals, maxillae, and premaxillae forming a rostrum. Istiophorids are key species, and they are

Presence of Istiophoridae along the South Atlantic and Mediterranean Coasts of Spain
Nature, 1962As a result of a co-operative undertaking of the Laboratorio del Instituto de Investigaciones Pesqueras of Cadiz with the Marine Laboratory of the University of Miami, carried out by us during the years 1960 and 1961, twenty-one specimens of Istiophoridae were obtained, of which nineteen were Tetrapturus albidus.

New insights into the evolution of billfishes (Teleostei, Istiophoridae)
2022Extant billfishes represent some of the largest fishes in the open ocean in tropical to subtropical latitudes. They are at the top of oceanic food webs and contribute to their functioning and stability. Their distribution, population genomics and phylogeny have been extensively studied because of their ecological and fishery importance.

Gonad development in billfish (Istiophoridae) from the Indian Ocean*
Journal of Zoology, 1970Gonad examinations were made on billfish caught during a tuna longline survey in the equatorial western Indian Ocean. The species considered were Istiophorus platypterus, Tetrapterus audax, Tetrapterus angustirostris, Makaira nigricans, and Makaira irtdica. The morphology of the urino‐genital system is described for all species.

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1994
Billfishes have long been known to impale a great variety of objects, but there are only two brief, obscure records of marine turtles being speared. Details are presented on these two, as well as on two other confirmed records; data from two additional unconfirmed records are also presented.

Fisheries Research, 1995
Abstract Analyses of trends in the recreational fishery for blue marlin (Makaira nigricans Lacepede) in the US Virgin Islands were conducted on data obtained from dockside sampling of sport fishing vessels. A total of 5729 blue marlin and 69 440 boat-hours of effort were recorded between the years 1983 and 1989.

Cryopreservation of spermatozoa of black marlin, Makaira indica (Teleostei: Istiophoridae).
Cryo letters, 2006As a first step towards the development of a method for the cryopreservation of black marlin spermatozoa, this study investigated the effect of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) concentration and pellet size on post-thaw spermatozoal motility. Spermatozoa were recovered from the spermatic duct of testes retrieved post-mortem from four adult black marlin caught ...
