Migrations of large pelagic fishes across the Pacific are usually inferred from tagging or
genetic studies. Even though these techniques have improved over time, they still fail to …

Billfishes, excluding swordfish, are typically not the primary targets of large-scale fisheries,
which has historically led to a lack of targeted monitoring efforts. The lack of data on age …

Genetic data are increasingly being applied to re-evaluate past taxonomic hypotheses and
better understand the evolutionary patterns and connectivity among regional populations of …

Aim Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) and similar reduced‐representation sequencing
methods, such as restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RADseq), have been …

Albacore (Thunnus alalunga) support an economically valuable global fishery, but
surprisingly little is known about the population structure of this highly migratory species …

Genomic methodologies offer unprecedented opportunities for statistically robust studies of
species broadly distributed in environments conducive to high gene flow, providing valuable …

Striped marlin, Kajikia audax, have been in overfished condition in the Western and Central
North Pacific, and overfishing is still occurring, prompting an urgent need to devise …

This study presents the first histology‐based assessment of the reproductive dynamics of
south‐west Pacific striped marlin Kajikia audax. Maturity and reproductive status were …

The phylogeny of istiophorid billfishes was recently revised based on analyses of nuclear
and mitochondrial DNA loci, and a variety of molecular genetic characters has been used to …

Otolith chemistry of young-of-year (YOY) yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares was examined to
determine whether chemical signatures are distinct across major spawning areas in the …
