An exception is the swordfish, reported here to be parasitized by this species at a relatively high level.
Swordfish broke the line, took it with him.
Furthermore, the target species, the swordfish, constitutes only 17-18 % of the catch, which demonstrates the non-selective nature of this type of fishing.
Other fish are also used, including locally-caught fish, cod, salt cod, shad other oily fish, red snapper and swordfish.
Since swordfish are large animals, meat is usually sold as steaks, which are often grilled.
They swim alone or in very loose aggregations, separated by as much as 10 m from a neighboring swordfish.
Flying fish, dolphin fish, tuna, turbot, kingfish, and swordfish are among the main species caught.
Only a few dozen specimens have been recorded in the past few decades, from scientific surveys, swordfish fishery bycatch, and sport fishers.
