First Metataxonomic Characterisation of Gut Microbiota of Swordfish (Xiphias gladius). [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This is the first metataxonomic characterisation of gut microbiota of swordfish using next‐generation sequencing. Findings show significant differences in the alpha diversity among the weight categories and the FAO fishing areas. The phylum Pseudomonadota dominated the swordfish gut microbiota, followed by Fusobacteriota. Photobacterium resulted in the

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

J Anat
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.

Lubricating the swordfish head [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016
ABSTRACT The swordfish is reputedly the fastest swimmer on Earth. The concave head and iconic sword are unique characteristics, but how they contribute to its speed is still unknown. Recent computed tomography scans revealed a poorly mineralised area near the base of the rostrum.

Mitigating effects on target and by-catch species fished by drifting longlines using circle hooks in the South Adriatic Sea (Central Mediterranean)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionLongline fishing gear has a higher by-catch rate than any other type of commercial fishing gear. Nowadays, there is an urgent need to find efficient management strategies to mitigate by-catch and the use of new hook types could be one of them.

Loancorhynchus catrillancai gen. et sp. nov., a new swordfish (Xiphioidei, Blochiidae) from the Middle Eocene of central Chile [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
This contribution describes the skull remains of a swordfish (Perciformes, Xiphioidei), recovered from Middle Eocene beds of central Chile. Comparison with known fossil and extant xiphioids reveals derived traits only present in the Neogene swordfish ...
