A blue marlin is considered ectothermic, meaning its body temperature is primarily regulated by the surrounding environment. However, it has some adaptations that allow it to maintain a higher body temperature than the surrounding water, particularly in its muscles and brain, which enhances its swimming performance and predatory efficiency. While it is not homeothermic like mammals, its ability to regulate temperature in certain tissues gives it advantages in colder waters.

What is the worlds largest marlin?

The world's largest marlin ever recorded is a blue marlin, which weighed 1,402 pounds (635 kilograms) and was caught off the coast of Hawaii in 1970. Blue marlins are known for their impressive size and strength, making them highly sought after by sport fishermen. They can grow up to 16 feet in length and are recognized for their striking blue coloration and elongated bodies. Other marlin species, like the black marlin and striped marlin, also reach substantial sizes but the blue marlin holds the record for the largest.

What type of salt is endothermic?

Endothermic salts are typically double salts that contain water molecules within their crystal structure. These salts require energy input to break the bonds holding the water molecules, resulting in an endothermic reaction. An example of this is hydrated copper(II) sulfate, which turns from blue to white when heated due to the loss of water molecules.


Are all thermal decomposition reactions endothermic in nature?

Yes, but rather: 'most of all' combination reactions are exothermic. This is mostly true for spontaneous, common reactions.Examples of the contrary endothermic reactions, though rare, are:The formation reaction (= combination 'pur sang') of ethene, propene, acetylene, and even benzene is endothermic, when combined out of elements (that's why they are called endothermic compounds). Further a lot of metal hydride's, chlorous oxide: ClO2 are endothermic.The most Exceptional Endothermic Compound is:Dicyanoacetylene, IUPAC-name: but-2-ynedinitrile, C4N2 (or more structural: NC-CC-CN)Standard heat of formation Ho298 ( 4C + N2 --> ) is 500.4 kJ/molBecause of its high endothermic heat of formation, it can explode to carbon powder and nitrogen gas (reversed formation reaction, exo. 500.4 kJ/mol).It burns in oxygen with a bright blue-white flame at a temperature of 5260 K, which is probably the hottest flame of any chemical.


What is a behavioral adaptation for a blue marlin?

Blue Jays have broad, fanning wings that allow them to turn quickly in their forest habitat. However, they cannot fly swiftly in open spaces. Like other birds, the Blue Jay has very light bones that enable flight. The Blue Jay's wedge-shaped tail can be fanned open to allow quick stops and turns mid-flight.
