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 ...

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1109-1130, December 2025.
A 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.

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.

Direct effects and prey‐mediated effects of global change in projections of early life stages of pelagic predators

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Global change will impact the distribution and abundance of predators through a combination of abiotic variables, such as temperature; and biotic variables, such as prey availability. However, there is a poor understanding of how distribution projections with biotic variables differ from those with abiotic variables, particularly in resource‐limited ...

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 ...

From reels to research: Motivations and concerns of billfish citizen science participants

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2956-2970, November 2025.
Abstract Citizen science facilitates cost‐effective ecological data collection at much larger scales than would otherwise be feasible. This is particularly useful for the study of highly migratory species with broad distributions, such as billfishes.

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Fish Spawning Dynamics on the West Florida Shelf During Fall

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Identifying spawning areas for economically and ecologically important fishes is critical for fisheries conservation and ecosystem‐based management. We used genetic barcoding to identify fish eggs collected across the West Florida Shelf (WFS) during September of 2013, 2014, and 2019.

On the Line and Online: Higher Non‐Response to Web‐Based Surveys Over‐Represents Avid Recreational Fishers Compared With Telephone Surveys

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Recreational fishing surveys have an important role in providing data to inform fisheries management. The selection of a contact method is an important and often challenging consideration that influences the potential for non‐sampling errors that can result in unrepresentative data and biased estimates.

Interpretation of mercury content in national samples of sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and marlin (Makaira spp . Or Tetrapturus spp.) from international toxicological parameters

Ciencias Ambientales, 2014
Total mercury results in eleven samples of sail fish and eleven samples of marlin from national market places (where they are called with those names), from a study by the Costarican Fishing Federation, are presented.

Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) Habitat Utilization in the Southern Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits with Implications on Vulnerability to Shallow-Set Pelagic Longline Gear [PDF]

, 2010
A total of 19 pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) were deployed on sailfish in the southern Gulf of Mexico between 2005 and 2007 aboard a commercial pelagic longline vessel (n = 18) and a recreational rod-and-reel vessel (n = 1).
