Sailfish – 68 mph

Sailfish, another billfish, may leap out of the water or dive headfirst into a swarm of target fish at speeds of up to 68 miles per hour. This fish is smaller than the swordfish, measuring around 11 feet long and weighing only about 182 pounds on average. Its body is compressed, long, and tapering, just like the swordfish. Grown fish have rows of golden dots on their sides, and their tops are a dark blue while their bellies are silver.


The fish gets its name from its impressive dorsal fin, which is nearly as long as the animal's back. Additionally, it can be folded into a groove on the rear of the fish to increase its hydrodynamic properties, and it is only raised during times of hunting. The sailfish, which can be either "left-billed" or "right-billed", utilizes its long beak to slice at its prey.
