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 ...

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 ...

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 400-449, July 2026.Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Galeaspids are an extinct group of jawless fishes from the Silurian–Devonian of China and northern Vietnam that are key to understanding the origin of vertebrate anatomical innovations. A new eugaleaspid, Bataspis crux gen. et. sp. nov., is described based on fossil material from the Lochkovian (Early Devonian) Xishancun Formation of Qujing ...

Modification of Hull Design Inspired by Sailfish [PDF]
Conference Proceedings of ICMET Oman, 2019 Modification of hull design for improving performance and resistance in a ship has been of interest to ship building industries for decades. In the present study hydrodynamic analysis of morphological adaptations in sailfish having v-shaped protrusions on its skin has been done.

Hiding in Plain Sight: Evidence of Echeneidae Cloacal and Gill Diving Behavior in Manta Ray Hosts
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Here we document seven observations of Echeneidae cloacal diving behavior in manta rays and one observation of gill attachment behavior. These observations span all three currently described species of manta rays (Mobula yarae, Mobula birostris, and Mobula alfredi), demonstrate the ability of large Echeneidae to perform cloacal diving behavior in both ...
