Distribution and Relative Abundance of Billfishes (Istiophoridae) of the Pacific Ocean


Book Description

Because of the interests and needs of sport and commercial fishermen, the English and Japanese common names have a long history and are now fairly well standardized. The standard English and Japanese common names and the suggested scientific names are as follows: Pacific sailfish, bashokajiki, Istiophorus gladius (Bloch); shortbill spearfish, furaikajiki, Tetrapturus angustirostris Tanaka; striped marlin, majajiki, Tetrapturus audax Philippi; blue marlin, kurojiki, Makaira nigricans Lacépède; black marlin, shirokajiki, Makaira indica (Cuvier). It is felt there is insufficient phylogenetic evidence bearing on the question of higher taxonomic categories to construct a sound hierarchy. The best system based on present information is to divide the family into three genera (Istiophorus, Tetrapturus, and Makaira) as proposed by Robins and de Sylva (1960 : 403).
