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 ...

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.

Growth Autocorrelation in Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Thunnus thynnus Larvae in the Northwest Mediterranean and the Gulf of Mexico

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.

Positive Selection in NADH Dehydrogenase 2 (ND2) Gene in Two Billfishes Xiphias gladius, L. 1758 and Istiophorus platypterus

Diversity
The assumption of neutrality for mitochondrial DNA has been widely questioned due to the functional importance of the encoded proteins. Mitochondrial genes involved in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway can be subjected to selection due to ...

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 ...

Seascape genomics and mitogenomic phylogeography of the sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus)

, 2023
Permeable phylogeographic barriers characterize the vast open ocean, boosting gene flow and counteracting population differentiation and speciation of widely distributed and migratory species. However, many widely distributed species consists of distinct populations throughout their distribution, evidencing that our understanding of how the marine ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diet composition and food habits of demersal and pelagic marine fishes from Terengganu waters, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

, 2004
Fish stomachs from 18 demersal and pelagic fishes from the coast of Terengganu in Malaysia were examined. The components of the fishes’ diets varied in number, weight, and their frequency of occurrence.

Transboundary Movement of Atlantic Istiophorid Billfishes Among International and U.S. Domestic Management Areas Inferred from Mark-Recapture Studies [PDF]

, 2008
Billfish movements relative to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas management areas, as well as U.S. domestic data collection areas within the western North Atlantic basin, were investigated with mark-recapture data from ...
