⛵️Sailfish are some of the fastest fish in the sea. Those in the genus Istiophorus have recorded top speeds of 68 miles per hour!
🐟These speedy swimmers leverage their agility to herd schools of anchovies and sardines for feeding. The “sail,” or large dorsal fin, spans nearly the entire length of the body—and can be retracted for smooth bursts of speed, or erected to provide stability or to intimidate foes.
