This species is endangered, and average-catch weights have been declining for years. Personally, I'd like to see the commercial fishery for Xiphias halted.
More cool stuff about swordfish than I care to write right now can be found here.
The only pictures I could find of living swordfish are from sport-fishing sites, like the one shown above. The first picture I had for Xiphias gladius was actually of a Sailfish. Below is a picture apparently taken during a SCUBA dive.
