	California Swordfish
		Swordfish abundance is related to oceanic cycles, and cycles are influenced by climatic conditions.
		Swordfish are fished by many Pacific Rim countries, and fishermen use a variety of harvesting methods, including longline, drift gillnet, and harpoon.
		Swordfish characteristically surface at night and move to the depths in daylight, but sometimes, when conditions are right, they bask at the surface.

	Swordfish
		Swordfish fry are quite different in appearance from their parents, having only one long dorsal fin and one long anal fin, a rounded tail, both jaws equally prolonged and toothed, and the skin covered with rough spiny plates and scales.
		The swordfish is oceanic, not dependent in any way either on the coast (except as this offers a supply of food), or on the bottom; and it is a warm-water fish, most plentiful in localities and at depths where the temperature is higher than about 60°.
		Swordfish seem to be less plentiful along the outer Nova Scotian coast from Cape Sable to the Gut of Canso than on Georges Bank or on Browns, though a few are brought in from the various fishing banks every summer (p.

	Swordfish
		Swordfish are pelagic fish—living within the water column rather than on the bottom or in coastal areas.
		Swordfish are summer and fall visitors to New England waters, entering the warming Atlantic coastal waters from far offshore in the Gulf Stream around June and departing in late October.
		Today, swordfish are caught in gill nets, with harpoons, and, most successfully, on longlines consisting of a main line, usually several miles long, which is supported in the water column by floats and from which baited hooks are suspended.

	Swordfish
		Swordfish are readily distinguished from other billfish by their flattened bills, lack of fins on the belly, and the presence of only one keel (small projection) on the base of the tail adjoining the fish.
		Swordfish do not spawn off the coast of California, but in 1958 a ripe female was harpooned off Santa Catalina Island.
		Most recreational fishing for swordfish involves visually searching for a fish that is finning (presenting itself at the surface) and then maneuvering a baited hook in front of it.

	Swordfish Summary
		Swordfish have a tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fin that cuts through the water like a knife, and their long pectoral fins, set low on their sides, are held tightly against their body while swimming.
		Swordfish lack pelvic fins, and they have reduced second dorsal and anal fins which are set far back on the body, adding to the streamlining.
		Swordfish live in temperate and tropical oceans and are particularly abundant between 30 and 45 degrees north latitude.

	uboat.net - Fighting the U-boats - Aircraft - Fairey Swordfish
		The Swordfish was a large biplane, but because it is single-engined it tends to look deceptively small from a distance and on photographs.
		The Swordfish was extremely easy to fly and easy to land on a carrier deck, a quality that would become very important for night operations on the small decks of escort carriers.
		Therefore the Swordfish was not necessarily an easy prey for a fighter, but it was during the long, slow and straight run that was required to launch a torpedo.

		Range: Swordfish occur worldwide in temperate and tropical seas, known to frequent depths 400 to 500 fathoms, but also seen basking at the surface.
		The swordfish is primarily a warm-water species and, generally speaking, its migrations consist of movements toward temperate or cold waters for feeding in summer and back to warm waters in autumn for spawning and overwintering.
		Swordfish often kill their prey by swinging their sharp bill from side to side in a school of fish.

	Shutome - Broadbill Swordfish - Mekajiki
		Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), also known as broadbill, broadbill swordfish or shutome in Hawaii, are the most widely distributed of all billfish in the Pacific Ocean.
		Swordfish are caught in association with frontal zones where ocean currents or water m asses meet to create turbulence and sharp gradients of temperature and salinity.
		Swordfish availability in this regi on may be related to the migration patterns of squid, known to be a major component of the swordfish diet.

	Xiphias gladius, Swordfish at MarineBio.org
		The Swordfish, Xiphias gladius (Linnaeus, 1758), is named for its long "bill" and, although it resembles members of the billfish family Istiophoridae, it is actually the sole member of the Xiphiidae family.
		On average, Swordfish caught by commercial fisheries in the Pacific, where the largest Swordfish are found, measure an average of 1.2-1.9 m.
		The Swordfish, Xiphias gladius, is found worldwide in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans in tropical, temperate, and sometimes cold waters at depths between 200-600 m between 5-27°C. Swordfish found in the Mediterranean are thought to consist of a separate stock from that of the Atlantic, however they are not totally isolated.

	::The Swordfish::
		The Swordfish, a torpedo-carrying plane primarily carried on board British aircraft carriers, played a vital part in the destruction of the Bismarck in May 1941.
		The Swordfish was a bi-plane and by the standards of World War Two, the plane was slow and a veteran.
		A torpedo attack by Swordfish against the Bismarck took out the battleship's rudder and steering gear effectively slowing her to mere 8 knots - making it easy for the British battleships Rodney and King George V to home in on her.
