🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
The Black Marlin, compared to the Blue Marlin (or striped marlin), black marlins are more solid than their blue counterparts. They have a shorter bill and a rounder and lower dorsal fin. Black marlin may be distinguished from all other marlin species by their rigid pectoral fins, which are unable to be pressed flat against their sides but can be tilted further backwards for reduced drag. They travels at speeds of around 20 to 30 miles per hour with the ability to move faster in short bursts, making them one of the fastest fish in the ocean.
