When measuring the length of a goldfish for an aquarium, it is common practice to measure from the tip of the fish's nose to the base of the tail fin, excluding the tail length. This measurement is known as the "standard length" and is used to determine appropriate tank size based on the fish's body length.


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.
