#Heading sensor | Real-Time Boat Orientation | Accurate, real-time heading data | Allowing chart view to display dynamic heading line and rotate boat icon to reflect actual bow direction—even when stationary or drifting | Improving situational awareness, especially in Heads Up mode | Precise Waypoint Targeting | When  waypoint is marked, heading sensor allows chart to correctly orient in direction of that point relative to boat, enabling to return to it more accurately | Fish finder can better align position and direction on map | Allowing you to maintain consistent trolling lines and cover water efficiently | For Side Imaging sonar, accurate heading data ensures that sonar returns are correctly aligned with boat actual direction | Heading sensor data enables precise waypoint marking and display | Allowing anglers to navigate back to specific targets or structures with confidence | Heading sensors often feed data into autopilot systems, improving steering accuracy, route tracking, and responsiveness to course adjustments
#10 species of fish is responsible for the development of global sport-fishing industries | Istiophoridae (marlin, sailfish and spearfish) | Xiphiidae (swordfish) | Billfish species | Stock status: overfished, subject to overfishing | Codified by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) | International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) | Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) | Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) | Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) | Billfish are large, highly migratory species which can cross entire ocean basins, even between oceans | Stock assessments determine sustainable harvest levels | Data collected from fishing activity, including catch rates, fishing effort | Biological information: age, growth rates and spawning dynamics | Annual recreational limit iin USA of 250 Atlantic blue marlin, white marlin and roundscale spearfish (via ICCAT) | Billfish Conservation Act: prohibits commercial harvest, sale and importation of billfish in the continental United States
#Blue Marlin (Makaira nigricans) | Distributed throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans | Prefer the upper 10 meters of the water column | Can dive as deep as 1,000 meters in search of prey | IGFA All-Tackle World Records: 1,376 pounds in the Pacific,  1,402 pounds in the Atlantic | Demonstrated long-distance movements of over 4,500 nautical miles in 120 days | Significant estimated declines in biomass from 33 to 37 percent occurred over the past three decades | Listed as vulnerable by IUCN Red List | At risk of high incidental catch in pelagic longline fisheries | When retrieving gear in Atlantic, longline and purse-seine Âvessels are required to release blue marlin caught alive
#Black Marlin (Istiompax indica) | Found throughout Pacific and Indian oceans | One of the largest of the billfishes | IGFA All-Tackle World Record 1,560 pounds | Generally prefer surface waters above thermocline | Capable of diving to depths of 500 meters or more | Often found close to land masses, islands and coral reefs | Subject to overfishing (IOTC) in Indian Ocean | No stock assessments conducted in Pacific Ocean | Frequently taken as bycatch by pelagic longlines, trolling, harpooning and, increasingly, coastal gillnets | Number of Central and South American countries have mandatory catch-and-release fisheries for black marlin and often prohibit their commercial harvest
#Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) | Frequent nearshore waters | Found throughout all oceans | IGFA All-Tackle World Records of 221 pounds in Pacific, 142 pounds in Atlantic | Listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List | Frequently caught as bycatch in longline, purse-seine, trawl and gillnet fisheries
#White Marlin (Kajikia albida) | Found throughout Atlantic Ocean | Prefers the upper 20 meters of the water column | IGFA All-Tackle World Record: 181 pounds from Brazil Royal Charlotte Bank | Listed as least concern by IUCN Red List | Incidental catches in pelagic longline, purse-seine, trawl and gillnet fisheries
#Shortbill Spearfish (Tetrapturus angustirostris) | Distributed throughout Pacific and Indian ocean | IGFA World Record caught off Australia weighed 110 pounds | Primarily caught as bycatch in longline and purse-seine fisheries | Listed as data deficient by IUCN Red List

#Striped Marlin (Kajikia audax) | Range throughout Pacific and Indian oceans | IGFA All-Tackle World Record 494 pounds | Satellite-tagged stripey from IGFA Great Marlin Race traveled 4,739 nm across Pacific Ocean from New Zealand to just off Galapagos | Listed as least concern by IUCN Red List
#Roundscale Spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii) | Found throughout  Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea | IGFA All-Tackle World Record 70 pounds | Listed as data deficient by IUCN Red List
