Sailfishes (genus Istiophorus) are fish living in all the oceans of the world. They are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic sail (dorsal fin) on top, often stretching the entire length of the back. All sailfish species are fast-growing, reaching 1.2 to 1.5 meters in length in a single year, feeding on the surface or at mid-depths on smaller pelagic fishes and squid. Individuals have been clocked at speeds of up to 68 mph making them the fastest fish in the ocean. Generally, sailfish do not grow to more than 10 feet in length and rarely weigh over 200 pounds, although larger specimens have been seen off the shores of Costa Rica. They usually keep their sails folded down to the side, but when they feel threatened or excited they raise their sail, which makes them appear much larger than they actually are.
