Sailfish
Sailfish live in warmer ocean waters. They are a grayish blue in color and have a large dorsal fin that stretches the lenght of the back that looks like a sail. It also has a long bill that resembles swordfish and other marlins. Sailfish can reach 1.2-.15 meters in lenght in just a year. They feed off smaller pelagic fish and quid. These fish can reach speeds up to 110km an hour, the fasted fish in the sea. Sailfish grow quickly and can reach 1.2-1.5m in a year, although they do not normally grow more then 3 meters in lenght and weigh up to 90kg. Sailfish are prized game fish and are known for their large jumps.
Wasting Hours With National Geographic
