a fish with a high, sail-like dorsal fin
sailboat sailcloth sailfish
sailfish have sword like noses to catch prey
the thing that makes a sail fish fast is its sail and body shape
A grown sailfish has an average of 6-8 feet in growth and averages 60 lbs.
the sailfish has many adaptations to its body that gives it the abillity to cut through the water more easily than other fish . the sailfish's famos sail may reduce the water friction by 30% alone not to mention other adaptions that may add to that . Great question Keep asking !!!!!!!!
Sailfish live in the warmer waters of the oceans around the world.
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.
they're migratory animals. they generally live in tropical oceans. the waters off of cuba are known to have large migrations of sailfish

To catch sailfish in Amateur Action Super Fishing, focus on using live bait such as small fish or squid, as sailfish are attracted to lively movements. Trolling at speeds of 6-8 knots with a set of rigged baits can be effective. Pay attention to water temperature and current, as sailfish often feed near temperature breaks or currents. Lastly, be prepared for a fight, as sailfish are known for their acrobatics and speed once hooked.
