Billfish in Captivity

[Ituri]

Does anyone know if any of the billfish species (marlin, swordfish, sailfish...) have been successfully kept in captivity? I have done some looking around but can't find any definitive information on the subject.

I believe the Fukishima Aquarium had a swordfish on exhibit for a while (before the tsunami, obviously).

Thanks for the info. Apparently my search was not as exhaustive as I thought
