Visting anglers are driven by the likelihood of catching a lot of billfish. Anticipated quality of a billfishing trip greatly influences anglers’ destination choices. Anglers most often select fishing destination where commercial fishing is restrained. Responsible management of billfish can maximize catch rates and economic returns to communities.

  • Validity, Identification, and Distribution of the Roundscale Spearfish, <I>Tetrapturus Georgii</I> (Teleostei: Istio
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 79(3): 483–491, 2006 ValiDitY, IDentification, anD Distribution of THE RounDscale SPearfisH, TETRAPTURUS GEORGII (TELEOSTEI: ISTIOPHORIDAE): MorPHoloGical anD Molecular eviDence Mahmood S. Shivji, Jennifer E. Magnussen, Lawrence R. Beerkircher, George Hinteregger, Dennis W. Lee, Joseph E. Serafy, and Eric D. Prince ABSTRACT The roundscale spearfish, Tetrapturus georgii Lowe, 1840, is known only from four specimens from the Mediterranean and eastern North Atlantic. Additional specimens have not been identified since 1961, making the validity and distribution of this species unclear. Analysis of 16 billfish specimens from the western North Atlantic on the basis of scale morphology, anus position, and mitochondrial DNA confirms the validity of this species and extends its distribution. Mid-lateral scales are soft, notably rounded anteriorly, and bear 2–3 points distinct from those of the sympatric longbill spearfish Tetrapturus( pfluegeri Robins and de Sylva, 1963) and white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus Poey, 1860). Position of anus relative to first anal fin and a related morphometric ratio (distance from anus to first anal fin origin: height of first anal fin) are intermediate between T. pfluegeri and T. albidus. These characteristics match those described by Robins (1974) from the four eastern North Atlantic specimens of T. georgii. The mitochondrial ND4L, ND4, and cyt b gene sequences strongly support reciprocal monophyly of the western North Atlantic specimens relative to other Atlantic istiophorids. The difficulty in distinguishing between morphologically similar T. georgii and T. albidus in the field and the previ- ously unrecognized presence of T. georgii in the western North Atlantic has implica- tions for stock assessments of T.

  • Sciencenews: Marlin Crash May Be Worse Than Reported
    4/4/2011 Marlin Crash May Be Worse Than Rep… Marlin Crash May Be Worse Than Reported Janet Raloff As a c hild, I frequently sat transfixed whenever adventure-television shows offered films of long fights between deep- sea anglers and tarpons, sailfish, or marlins. Tension would build as the angler tired yet the fish—dozens of pounds of twisting musc le—would daringly (to my young mind) breach the surface in its struggle to break free. Invariably, however, the fish lost. Off camera as well, these fish have been losing for years—not only in c ontests with recreational anglers but even more dramatic ally in showdowns with c ommerc ial, mec hanized fishing fleets. Stoc ks of many of these magnificent natural predators of the high seas languish at a fraction of the size needed for their populations to sustain themselves. Among such animals are Atlantic white marlins (Tetrapturus albidus). A 2002 assessment of their population—the most recent one available—showed that the stock of these heavily overfished animals was 82 perc ent below the size that biologists would c onsider healthy and sustainable. In fact, a new study hints that the 2002 assessment may have been unduly optimistic because many of the fish counted as marlins could have been a distantly related relative— the roundsc ale spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii). Dead ringers for white marlins, the roundscale's very existence had been dubious, notes Mahmood S. Shivji, director of Nova Southeastern University's Guy Harvey Research Institute Oceanographic Center in Dania Beach, Fla. He observes that a single report published more than 30 years ago recounted features of four fish that appeared to characterize a distinct species.
