Recently, more intensive sampling of swordfish sex ratio at size has
been implemented in the U.S. swordfish fleet. The purpose of this paper is to
document the data available from these efforts.

Efforts were continued in 1990 and 1991 to sample the U.S. swordfish
fleet for sex ratio at size data. Morphometric measurements, sex
determination, and biological data were collected through various sampling
activities. These data may prove useful for stratifying swordfish landings by
sex. The purpose of this paper is to document the current data available from
these efforts.

Availability of a common unit of measurement, such as lower jaw fork
length (LJFL), is often used for partitioning the catch into age groups for
age based stock assessments. In the U.S. fleet, swordfish (Xiphias gladius)
are processed for the commercial market at sea. The processing used involves
the removal of the head, viscera, gills, and caudal fin of the carcasses. In
addition, whole weights cannot be measured on landed fish. Because the recent
ICCAT agreement for a minimum size swordfish of 25 kg, whole weight,
predictive relationships between the commonly available measurements for the
U.S. landings were needed. For these reasons, length-weight and length-length
relationships were derived from data collected by at sea observers and
volunteer crew members aboard cooperating swordfish vessels to allow
conversion form carcass length (CK) to LJFL and CK to dressed (DWT) and whole
weights.
