Lacunae rostralis: A new structure on the rostrum of sailfish Istiophorus platypterus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, 2022
AbstractRecent comparative studies of billfishes (Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae) have provided evidence of differences in the form and function of the rostra (bill) among species. Here, we report the discovery of a new structure, lacuna rostralis, on the rostra of sailfish Istiophorus platypterus, which is absent on the rostra of swordfish Xiphias ...

Accelerating sailfish optimization applied to unconstrained optimization problems on graphical processing unit

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2022
The Sailfish Optimizer (SFO) is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by a group of hunting sailfish that alternates their attacks on group of prey. The SFO algorithm takes advantage of using a simple method for providing the dynamic balance between ...

Consequences of ocean scale hypoxia constrained habitat for tropical pelagic fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Large areas of cold hypoxic water occur as distinct strata in the eastern tropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans as a result of high productivity initiated by intense nutrient upwelling.

Proportions of Atlantic sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and spearfish (Tetrapturus pfluegeri) caught in tuna longline fisheries

open access: yesInternational Aquatic Research, 2016
The reliability of estimations of catches of pelagic longline fisheries is especially worrying in the case of non-target species such as the sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and spearfish (Tetrapturus pfluegeri), because they are often recorded ...

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

open access: yesBiology 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.

K-means Hybrid Iterative Clustering Based on Memory Transfer Sailfish Optimization

open access: yesShanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao, 2022
Aimed at the problem that the existing K-means clustering (KMC) algorithm is greatly affected by initialization, and the randomly generated clustering center can easily make the clustering result fall into local optimum and stop iterating, resulting in ...

The Evolution of Lateralization in Group Hunting Sailfish [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Lateralization is widespread throughout the animal kingdom [1-7] and can increase task efficiency via shortening reaction times and saving on neural tissue [8-16]. However, lateralization might be costly because it increases predictability [17-21].

Sailfish: Vetting Smart Contract State-Inconsistency Bugs in Seconds

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
This paper presents SAILFISH, a scalable system for automatically finding state-inconsistency bugs in smart contracts. To make the analysis tractable, we introduce a hybrid approach that includes (i) a light-weight exploration phase that dramatically reduces the number of instructions to analyze, and (ii) a precise refinement phase based on symbolic ...

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

open access: yesCiencias 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 ...
