Protosphyraena was a large fish, averaging 2–3 metres (6.6–9.8 ft) in length. Protosphyraena shared the Cretaceous oceans with aquatic reptiles , such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs , as well as with many other species of extinct predatory fish.
Females are larger than males, and Pacific swordfish reach a greater size than northwest Atlantic and Mediterranean swordfish. [6] They reach maturity at 4–5 years of age and the maximum age is believed to be at least 9 years. [6] The oldest swordfish found in a recent study were a 16-year-old female and 12-year-old male.
"Swordfish reach a maximum size of 177 in. (455 cm) total length and a maximum weight of 1,400 lbs. (650 kg), although the individuals commercially taken are usually 47 to 75 in. (120-190 cm) long in the Pacific. Females are larger than males of the same age, and nearly all specimens over 300 lbs. (140 kg) are female.
Standard weight equation for largemouth bass [1] and burbot [2] (fish). Standard weight in fish is the typical or expected weight at a given total length for a specific species of fish. Most standard weight equations are for freshwater fish species. Weight-length curves are developed by weighing and measuring samples of fish from the population.
[2] Total length measurements are used in slot limit and minimum landing size regulations. Fishery biologists often use a third measure in fishes with forked tails, called Fork length ( FL ), the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the middle caudal fin rays, and is used in fishes in which it is difficult to tell ...
The swordfish ‘unexpectedly jumped towards Manfrini and pierced her chest’, says acting head of disaster management agency Surfer, 36, dies after being impaled by swordfish in Indonesia Skip ...
