What is the difference between a marlin and a sailfish?
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.
