Indo-Pacific sailfish. It is a large predatory fish that lives in the open ocean and occurs almost worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. The unmistakable characteristic of the sailfish is the large, sail-like first dorsal fin, which is higher than the body of the fish at its highest point. Mostly they reach lengths of about 2.50 to 3.80 meters and a weight of 50 to 100 kg. With top speeds of 75 to 110 km/h, they are considered to be the fastest fish.
