چکیده
In January 2002, were caught 11 Makaira nigricans Lacepède, 1802 (Istiophoridae) and two Acanthocybium solandri (Cuvier, 1832) (Scombridae) off Cabo Frio municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. We collected digenetic trematodes from the stomach of some of these fishes. We studied these trematodes with optical and scanning electron microscopy and identified them as Hirudinella ventricosa (Pallas, 1774) Baird, 1835. This is the first report of this species in A. solandri in the Brazilian coast, and in M. nigricans in South America.

Bioaccumulation of mercury in pelagic fishes from the northern Gulf of Mexico
Total mercury (Hg) concentration was determined in the tissues of 10 pelagic fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and dietary tracers (stable isotopes and fatty acids) were used to evaluate the relationship between Hg and feeding history. Highest Hg levels were observed in blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), carcharhinid sharks (Carcharhinus spp.), and little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus), rang...
متن کاملCatch Rates for White Marlin (tetrapturus Albidus) and Blue Marlin (makaira Nigricans) from the Small-scale Fishery off La Guaira, Venezuela: Period 1991-2004
Catch rates from 1991 to 2004 for white marlin (Tetrapturus albidus) and blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) from the small scale fishery off La Guaira, Venezuela (a billfish hot-spot) were standardized by Generalized Liner Model techniques. The index of weight of fish per number of sets was estimated from dressed weight of marlins caught and reported by port sampling in the fishing community of Pl...
متن کاملGENETIC ANALYSIS OF BLUE MARLIN (MAkAIRA NIGRICANS) STOCk STRUCTURE IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
The genetic basis of stock structure of blue marlin (Makaira nigricans Lacepède 1802 ) in the Atlantic ocean was inferred from analyses of mitochondrial control region sequences. Blue marlin were collected in 1998 from 4 major geographic locations: western North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, western South Atlantic and eastern Atlantic. Haplotype diversity (h) ranged from 0.99–1.0 and nucleotide sequ...
متن کاملPatterns of Vertical Habitat Use by Atlantic Blue Marlin (makaira Nigricans) in the Gulf of Mexico
We examined data from pop-up archival transmitting (PAT) tags (n = 18) to characterize aspects of vertical habitat use by blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) from the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Two of these tags were recovered and provided fine-scale information about diving patterns and the relationship between time at depth and temperature. Similar to previous studies, blue marlin in the GOM spent mos...

—A nearly complete fossil skull, including the rostrum, of blue marlin, Makaira nigricans Lacepède, 1802 (Perciformes: Xiphioidei: Istiophoridae), was collected from the Oso Member (latest Miocene) of the Capistrano Formation, Mission Viejo, Orange County, California. The specimen is compared with extant and fossil istiophorids, and 19 of its 20 morphological variables are within the range of v...
