Maximum swimming speeds of sailfish and three other large marine predatory fish species based on muscle contraction time and stride length: a myth revisited. [PDF]
Biol Open, 2016 Billfishes are considered to be among the fastest swimmers in the oceans. Previous studies have estimated maximum speed of sailfish and black marlin at around 35 m s−1 but theoretical work on cavitation predicts that such extreme speed is unlikely.

Age and growth of sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) in waters off eastern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2004 Age and growth of sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) in waters off eastern Taiwan were examined from counts of growth rings on cross sections of the fourth spine of the first dorsal fin. Length and weight data and the dorsal fin spines were collected monthly at the fishing port of Shinkang (southeast of Taiwan) from July 1998 to August 1999.

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro-dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy. [PDF]
J AnatA fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

Genetically confirmed first records of an egg and a juvenile roundscale spearfish, Tetrapturus georgii. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The roundscale spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii) is a poorly studied species with limited information available on its biology, ecology, and population status. Although the adult life stage of the species is morphologically distinguishable from closely related species such as the overexploited white marlin (Kajikia albida), misidentification is ...

Osteocranium of the Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus, Shaw & Nodder, 1792) from Malacca Strait
Jurnal Perikanan Universitas Gadjah Mada, 2022 The features and morphometrics of the sailfish's osteocranium are examined in this study (Istiophorus platypterus, Shaw & Nodder, 1792). I. platypterus has a total weight of ±20 kg with a total length of ±218 cm. The stages of the research process included preparing samples, preparing osteocraniums, documenting photos, editing images, and ...
