Abstract
THE first confirmed report of the striped marlin (Makaira audax) in the Indian Ocean was that of Smith1, who recorded details of a 160-lb. specimen of 89 in. (2,260 mm.) standard length from Mossel Bay, South Africa. Morrow2 reported having seen the striped marlin off Pemba Island and Mombasa in 1950; but no specimens were caught or examined. Copley3 records a so-called striped marlin taken by him off Mombasa in 1934 (weight, 127 lb.) but does not mention the striped marlin at all in his “Game Fishes of Africa”4.
