  • Population status of white marlin

    Updated: 2009-12-30 14:09:52
    The prized white marlin, sought by anglers in million dollar prize tournaments and captured incidentally in commercial fisheries, is among the most overfished marine species under international management and the subject of contentious debate on how to best achieve its recovery. Now a newly released study published recently in the journal Endangered Species Research casts uncertainty on the accuracy of current knowledge of white marlin biology and prior population evaluations, which form the basis of management and conservation policy. The study reports that the white marlin look-alike species, the enigmatic roundscale spearfish whose very existence was only confirmed three years ago makes up almost a third (approximately 27%) of the fish historically identified as white marlin. This previously unrealized, relatively high abundance of roundscale spearfish and their misidentification might have impacted past evaluations of white marlin population sizes and concomitant management efforts........
