Attributes of climate resilience in fisheries: From theory to practice
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 522-544, May 2022., 2022 Abstract In a changing climate, there is an imperative to build coupled social‐ecological systems—including fisheries—that can withstand or adapt to climate stressors.

Lacunae rostralis: A new structure on the rostrum of sailfish Istiophorus platypterus
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1205-1213, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Recent 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 ...

Nocturnal depth distribution of western North Atlantic swordfish (Xiphias gladius, Linnaeus, 1758) in relation to lunar illumination [PDF]
, 2007 Swordfish are known to undergo large diel vertical movements from surface waters at night to \u3e 300 m depth during the day. Evidence presented over the past several deeades suggests the lunar cycle affects these vertical migrations.
