marlin

n. any of various large saltwater game fish with spear-like upper jaw

The marlin is a large game fish. It has an elongated body that in larger species can be in excess of 4 metres (13 ft) long, a snout like a spear, and a long rigid dorsal fin which extends forwards to form a crest. Marlin are fast swimmers, occurring in all oceans and hunting small and large fish.The larger species include the Atlantic blue marlin, Makaira nigricans, which have been reliably recorded in excess of 2 metres (7 ft) in length and 120 kilograms (250 lb) in weight, and black marlin, Makaira indica, which have been reliably recorded in excess of 5 m in length and 670 kilograms (1,470 lb) in weight. It is a cousin to the Swordfish. Marlins are very fast and can swim 100 metres (330 ft) in about 4 seconds (Approximately 56 mph). They are popular sporting fish in certain tropical areas and are also commercially important as a food fish.
