Evolutionary affinity of billfishes (Xiphiidae and Istiophoridae) and flatfishes (Plueronectiformes): Independent and trans-subordinal origins of endothermy in teleost fishes

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
Billfishes (Scombroidei) and tunas (Scombridae), both considered part of the suborder Scombroidei, have long been studied by biologists largely because of their remarkable physiological and anatomical muscular adaptations associated with regional endothermy and continuous swimming.

Impalement of marine turtles (Reptitia, Chelonia: Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae) by billfishes (Osteichthyes, Perciformes: Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae)

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1994
Billfishes have long been known to impale a great variety of objects, but there are only two brief, obscure records of marine turtles being speared. Details are presented on these two, as well as on two other confirmed records; data from two additional unconfirmed records are also presented.
