Marlin

Marlins belong to the Istiophoridae family of fish, which includes roughly ten species. A marlin possesses a long, rigid dorsal fin that stretches forward to form a crest, as well as a spear-like snout or bill. It is thought that its common name comes from its similarity to a sailor's marlinspike. Marlins are among the fastest swimmers in the ocean, attaining speeds of up to 110 km/h in brief bursts. However, in popular literature, vastly exaggerated speeds are sometimes stated, based on incorrect or obsolete reports.

The Atlantic blue marlin, Makaira nigricans, can grow to be 5 meters long and weigh 820 kilograms, and the black marlin, Istiompax indica, can grow to be over 5 meters long and weigh 670 kilograms. In tropical locations, they are a popular sport fish. Overfishing has put the Atlantic blue marlin and the White marlin in jeopardy.
