Sailfish were previously estimated to reach maximum swimming speeds of 35 m/s (125 km/h), but research published in 2015 and 2016 indicate sailfish do not exceed speeds between 10–15 m/s (35–55 km/h). During predator–prey interactions, sailfish reached burst speeds of 7 m/s (25 km/h) and did not surpass 10 m/s (35 km/h).
A deep-diving swordfish, photographed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at 701 meters below the surface. Swordfish prefer water temperatures between 18 and 22 °C (64 and 72 °F), [3] but have the widest tolerance among billfish, and can be found from 5 to 27 °C (41 to 81 °F). [6]

Two species of Kansas Protosphyraena - the larger (about 3 m long) P. perniciosa and smaller P. nitida. In its general body plan, Protosphyraena resembled a modern sailfish, though it was smaller with a shorter rostrum, was somewhat less hydrodynamic, and adults possessed large blade-like teeth (adults of living swordfish species are toothless).
The Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a large oceanic apex predator inhabiting all the world's oceans. It is found in the entire Indian Ocean down to latitude 45°S. [ 1 ] Before the 1990s X gladius was mainly a non-targeted catch of industrial longline fisheries; but after 1990 catches increased from around 8,000 t to 36,000 t in 1998 with ...
Preheat a convection oven to 350 degrees. Put the chopped garlic together with the extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt in a nonstick oven-safe skillet.
Fill a bowl with ice water. In a saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the spinach until tender and bright green, 1 minute. Drain, then transfer to the ice bath. Drain the spinach and squeeze ...
For example, the Atlantic catch of blue marlin declined in the 1960s. This was accompanied by an increase in sailfish catch. The sailfish catch then declined from the end of the 1970s to the end of the 1980s, compensated by an increase in swordfish catch. As a result, overall billfish catches remained fairly stable. [66]
