Stock structure of the world's istiophorid billfishes: a genetic perspective (2003, background): “Nakamura (1985) also recognized separate species of Atlantic sailfish (Istiophorus albicans) and Indo-Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) based on the relative length of pectoral fins and differences in scale shape and growth.”
Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “…Istiophoridae (particularly Mediterranean spearfish Tetrapturus belone and Atlantic sailfish Istiophorus albicans) reportedly occur in Greek waters (Nakamura, 1985; Bauchot, 1987) and may be mistaken for swordfish as they do not always erect their highly distinctive, large dorsal fins at the…”
Evolution of Fish-Shaped Reptiles (reptilia: Ichthyopterygia) in Their Physical Environments and Constraints (2005, background): “Such a scaling of the caudal fin span relative to the body length is known for growth series of many large cruising vertebrates, including the blue marlin (Nakamura 1985), swordfish (Arata 1954), and cetaceans (e.g., Pilleri & Gihr 1976a,b; Best 1988).”
Shipboard identification of fish eggs and larvae by multiplex PCR, and description of fertilized eggs of blue marlin, shortbill spearfish, and wahoo (2005, background): “Unfertilized eggs from ‘running-ripe’ females are relatively colorless and spherical, ranging from 1.30 to 1.60 mm (mean: 1.40 mm) in diameter (Nakamura 1985).”
Latitudinal and taxonomic patterns in the feeding ecologies of fish larvae: A literature synthesis (2013, background): “…(none has been shown not to), the striking pattern 432 of the adults (or where they spawn) being concentrated in lower latitudes (Collette and Nauen, 433 1983; Nakamura, 1985; Nakamura and Parin, 1992; Nelson, 2006) results in larval piscivory also 434 being concentrated in lower latitudes.”
Bigeye Tuna (Thunnus obesus) behaviour and phisiology and their relevance to stock assessments and fishery biology (2005, background): “It should be noted, however, that the swordfish are most likely following the vertical movements of larger cephalopods (e.g., the neon flying squid, Ommastrephes bartramii), which they exploit as a primary food resource (Nakamura 1985).”
