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]
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.

Reproductive Biology of Little Tunny , Euthynnus Alletteratus ( Rafinesque 1810 ) in the Eastern Coast of Alexandria , Egypt [PDF]
Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries, 2014 Reproductive biology of Euthynnus alletteratus was described based on 628 fishes that were collected from Abu Qir landing site between October 2006 and September 2007. Only 146 specimens were sexually distinguished (102 females, 44 males) and the others were immature. The sex ratio was estimated as M: F 1:2.3.
