- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the number of slender mola or Ranzania laevis found in the stomachs of blue marlins or Makaira nigricans at Okinawa Island in Southern Japan. It states that the study examines 10 blue marlins in which the slender mola found in the stomachs of the marlins were measured for mantle length, standard length, and pre-clavus length. It concludes that the high frequency of slender mola in blue marlines is due to the spawning season of slender mola in Hawaii.
