Diet composition of Indo-Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) by-catch in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia
The distribution of sailfish across Malaysian waters provides socioeconomic importance to the coastal community. However, there is a declining rate of catch in sport fishing event held in Pahang, Malaysia over the past four years from 2016 to 2019. The urgency to study local sailfish populations is...
