From reels to research: Motivations and concerns of billfish citizen science participants

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2956-2970, November 2025.
Abstract Citizen science facilitates cost‐effective ecological data collection at much larger scales than would otherwise be feasible. This is particularly useful for the study of highly migratory species with broad distributions, such as billfishes.

Enhanced thermoregulation abilities of shortfin mako sharks as the key adaptive significance of regional endothermy in fishes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2178-2189, November 2025.
We show that regionally endothermic shortfin mako sharks have enhanced thermoregulatory ability with an order higher warming rate than cooling rate during repeated dives, likely optimizing foraging efficiency. This ability, only comparable to bigeye tuna and swordfish in teleosts, represents the key adaptive significance of regional endothermy in ...

Into the Deep: Origins and Evolution of Northeastern Pacific Ocean Tuna (Thunnus spp.) Fisheries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 1164-1179, November 2025.
ABSTRACT People have had a profound influence on Earth's biodiversity for millennia, culminating in Anthropocene environmental degradation and the modern biodiversity crisis. While the scale and extent of people's long‐term influence on Earth's biodiversity in terrestrial and nearshore marine ecosystems are relatively well studied, there are ...

Positive Selection in NADH Dehydrogenase 2 (ND2) Gene in Two Billfishes Xiphias gladius, L. 1758 and Istiophorus platypterus

open access: yesDiversity
The assumption of neutrality for mitochondrial DNA has been widely questioned due to the functional importance of the encoded proteins. Mitochondrial genes involved in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway can be subjected to selection due to ...

Age and growth of the swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.) in the waters around Taiwan determined from anal-fin rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Age and growth of the swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in Taiwan waters was studied from counts of growth bands on cross sections of the second ray of the first anal fin. Data on lower jaw fork length and weight, and samples of the anal fin of male and female

New information from fish diets on the importance of glassy flying squid (Hyaloteuthis pelagica) (Teuthoidea: Ommastrephidae) in the epipelagic cephalopod community of the tropical Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Squids of the family Ommastrephidae are a vital part of marine food webs and support major fisheries around the world. They are widely distributed in the open ocean, where they are among the most abundant in number and biomass of nektonic epipelagic ...
