Notes on juvenile sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus (Shaw and Nodder, 1791), caught in the Mexican Pacific

Ciencias Marinas, 1998
The purpose of this work is to report 11 juvenile specimens of sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus, caught on three commercial fishing trips carried out in the Mexican Pacific Ocean, in July 1994 in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, in August 1994 at Cabo ...

A comparative study of RNA-Seq and microarray data analysis on the two examples of rectal-cancer patients and Burkitt Lymphoma cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Pipeline comparisons for gene expression data are highly valuable for applied real data analyses, as they enable the selection of suitable analysis strategies for the dataset at hand.

FreePSI: an alignment-free approach to estimating exon-inclusion ratios without a reference transcriptome. [PDF]

, 2017
Alternative splicing plays an important role in many cellular processes of eukaryotic organisms. The exon-inclusion ratio, also known as percent spliced in, is often regarded as one of the most effective measures of alternative splicing events.

How sailfish use their bills to capture schooling prey [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
The istiophorid family of billfishes is characterized by an extended rostrum or ‘bill’. While various functions (e.g. foraging and hydrodynamic benefits) have been proposed for this structure, until now no study has directly investigated the mechanisms by which billfishes use their rostrum to feed on prey.

Linking hunting weaponry to attack strategies in sailfish and striped marlin [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020
Linking morphological differences in foraging adaptations to prey choice and feeding strategies has provided major evolutionary insights across taxa. Here, we combine behavioural and morphological approaches to explore and compare the role of the rostrum (bill) and micro-teeth in the feeding behaviour of sailfish ( Istiophorus ...

Multi-Strategy Sailfish Optimizer: Novel Algorithm with Dynamic Sardine Population and Improved Search Technique for Efficient Robot Path Planning

Machines
The sailfish optimizer is a recent swarm-intelligence-based optimization algorithm which mimics the hunting behavior of sailfish in the ocean. It consists of two types of populations, namely, sailfish and sardine, where sailfish represent the candidate ...

Historical review of the billfish management in the Mexican Pacific

Ciencias Marinas, 1998
Off the Mexican Pacific coast, high catch rates are found for striped marlin, sailfish and swordfish, and to a lesser extent for blue marlin and black marlin, making this area an important fishing ground for commercial and sport-fishing fisheries.

Analysis of the tendency of catch per unit effort in the mexican Pacific sailfish fishery

Ciencias Marinas, 1994
Information from the logbooks of the longline fleet operating under Mexican flag from 1980 to 1990 was analyzed to determine the tendency of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) of the sailfish fishery. Multivariate analysis techniques (principal components

Assessing Atlantic sailfish catch rates based on Brazilian sport fishing tournaments (1996-2014)

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2016
In the present study, a generalized linear model (GLM), assuming a Tweedie distribution and log as link function, was used to generate a standardized catch per unit effort (CPUE) series for the sailfish caught by sport fishing boats based in São Paulo ...

Hydrodynamic characteristics of the sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in gliding postures at their cruise speeds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The sailfish and swordfish are known as the fastest sea animals, reaching their maximum speeds of around 100 km/h. In the present study, we investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of these fishes in their cruise speeds of about 1 body length per ...
