sailfish is different to marlin, marlin have a long bill and a large fin on its head and a large crescent shaped tail, sailfish are smaller and have one long fin on its head to its back.
Yes, they are. It was discovered in 1972 that the tip of a sailfish fin contained mercury that gave precise readings in thermometers. Since this was discovered, sailfish have been caught and killed for their mercury. Scientists predict that the population will be back in its normal state by 2018.

yes , sailfish have lungs !
seven fins are on a sailfish.
A grown sailfish has an average of 6-8 feet in growth and averages 60 lbs.
Sailfish have long pointy noses, or bills, primarily to aid in hunting. Their elongated bills help them slash through schools of smaller fish, making it easier to catch prey. Additionally, the shape of the bill may enhance their hydrodynamics, allowing for faster swimming speeds during pursuit. This adaptation is crucial for their survival in competitive marine environments.
Atlantic sailfish was created in 1804.
A sailfish is a fish.
Sailfish generally don't grow to be longer than 5 feet. They rarely weigh more than 200 pounds and despite their large size, they can frequently swim at speeds of up to 68 miles per hour.
Both the Marlin and the Sailfish have a spined "fan" as their dorsal fin. The marlin's fin starts with a pointed ridge, then drops off as it travels toward the tail of the fish. (The fin resembles a Nike "swoosh") The sailfish's fin, on the other hand, has a high ridge in the MIDDLE of the fin, like a hump. If you were to use the fins to sail with, that of the sailfish would work much better, given the greater surface area. By the way, you didn't ask, but a swordfish has a pointed bill, but it has no "fan" on its dorsal fin. Hope this helps.
