Towards a unifying systematic scheme of fossil and living billfishes (Teleostei, Istiophoridae)
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2022 Extant istiophorids are open ocean apex predators that are extensively studied due to their ecological importance and high values for fisheries. Nevertheless, little is known about their evolution because of a fragmentary fossil record and extremely difficult taxonomy of fossil species. Here, we present a new phylogenetic hypothesis covering fossil and

Mediterranean Fishes of the Family Istiophoridae [PDF]
Nature, 1961 SCOMBROID fishes belonging to the family Istiophoridae are rather uncommon in the Mediterranean. However, a species has been known for a long time and was actually discovered there. It is Tetrapturus belone, described by Rafinesque1 from Sicily, where it is captured chiefly during the summer months; later, it was found in other localities, for example,

Ciencias Marinas, 2003 To determine the age, backcalculate the length, and describe the individual growth and length-weight relationship of the striped marlin Tetrapturus audax, the catch of the sport-fishing fleet from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was sampled from 1988 to 1993 ...

Techno-economic considerations of shark driftnet fishery, off Lagos coast, Nigeria [PDF]
, 1983 Experimental fishing operations with driftnets were conducted in Lagos coastal waters with a view to finding out appropriate gear for effective exploitation of sharks and other pelagic fish species that are not normally caught in trawls.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

New information from fish diets on the importance of glassy flying squid (Hyaloteuthis pelagica) (Teuthoidea: Ommastrephidae) in the epipelagic cephalopod community of the tropical Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2007 Squids of the family Ommastrephidae are a vital part of marine food webs and support major fisheries around the world. They are widely distributed in the open ocean, where they are among the most abundant in number and biomass of nektonic epipelagic ...

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 297-305, March 2026.ABSTRACT Growth and survival rates during the early life stages are key vital parameters driving population dynamics of fish. Growth rates generally present a pattern of autocorrelation. Growth autocorrelation is stronger when faster and slower growing individuals continue to grow faster and slower.

Reproductive biology of blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) in the western Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 2009 The reproductive biology of blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) was assessed from 1001 fish (ranging from 121 to 275 cm in eye-to-fork length; EFL) caught by Taiwanese offshore longliners in the western Pacific Ocean from September 2000 to December ...

Copeia, 1996 were emphasized, one-fourth and one-half the distance between the distal tip and the orbital margin of the lateral ethmoid bone. Characters studied in each region were the depth and width of rostrum and height, width, and position of nutrient canals (as seen in cross-section).
