An assessment of the sportfishery on artificial "Liberty Ship" reefs off Port Aransas, Texas [PDF]

, 1977
The concept of using surplus World War II Liberty Ships for the construction of artificial reefs to increase the availability of sportfish off the Texas coast was originally suggested in 1974.

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Total Hull Resistance on Floating Catamaran Pontoon for N219 Seaplanes based on Biomimetics Design with Clearance Configuration

International Journal of Technology, 2020
Seaplanes are planes that can take off and land from the surface of water. Due to their ability to take off and land from the surface of water, seaplanes need a pair of pontoons in the form of a catamaran hull at the bottom of seaplanes so that the ...

Incorporating depth into habitat use descriptions for sailfish Istiophorus platypterus and habitat overlap with other billfishes in the western North Atlantic

, 2020
The sailfish Istiophorus platypterus is a circumglobal billfish species. It is commonly targeted in recreational fisheries and caught as by-catch in commercial fisheries, and therefore fisheries management would benefit from an enhanced understanding of ...

Parasites as biological tags for sailfish Istiophorus platypterus from east coast Australian waters [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1995
A total of 52 sailfish Istiophorus platypterus from Queensland (Australia) coastal waters were examined for parasites which might provide information on the relationships and movements of fish from different areas. Sailfish from 4 locations between Cape Moreton in southern Queensland and Dunk Island in the north were dissected from 1987 to 1989. Of the

Environmental and spatial effects on the size distribution of sailfish in the Atlantic ocean

Ciencias Marinas, 2010
Generalized regression analysis and spatial prediction (GRASP) was applied to size data for sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) to better describe its preferential habitats in relation to juveniles and adults, based on environmental and spatial factors ...

Maximum swimming speeds of sailfish and three other large marine predatory fish species based on muscle contraction time and stride length: a myth revisited

Biology 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.

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.

Temporal Trends in Relative Abundance of Billfish and Other Large Pelagic Fish in Recreational Fisheries of Costa Rica

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 499-515, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fishing tourism of sailfish and accompanying species represents a significant source of income for Costa Rica. However, little information is available regarding trends in the availability of these species to recreational fleets. We estimated temporal trends in catch per unit effort (CPUE) for sailfish, marlins, yellowfin tuna, and mahi mahi ...

Distribution and habitat associations of billfish and swordfish larvae across mesoscale features in the Gulf of Mexico.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Ichthyoplankton surveys were conducted in surface waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGoM) over a three-year period (2006-2008) to determine the relative value of this region as early life habitat of sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus), blue marlin ...

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 ...
