-Sailfishes (genus Istiophorus) are fish living in all the oceans of the world. They are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic sail (dorsal fin) on top of them, often stretching the entire length of their back. The sailfish is a rapidly growing species, reaching 1.2 to 1.5 m in a single year. They can swim at speeds of up to 70 km/h, making them the fastest fish in the ocean. They feed on the surface or at mid-depths on smaller pelagic fishes and squid.
-The sailfishes can sometimes be confused with white marlin, Tetrapterus albidus or juvenile blue marlin, Makaira nigricans, but is generally clearly marked out by its spectacular sail-like dorsal fin.
