The Blue Marlin, more accurately the Atlantic Blue Marlin, is a large Atlantic bony fish. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The blue marlin is one of around 10 species of marlin, a family of large fish identified by their elongated bodies, spear-like snout (or bill) and long dorsal fin that forms a large crest. It is one of the larger members of its family, with females reaching lengths of up to 5m (16.4ft) and weighing up to 818kg (1803lbs), with males being smaller. Marlin are among the fastest marine animals, with speeds of around 110km/h (68mph) reliably clocked - faster speeds have been claimed, but may be exaggerations.
The blue marlin is endemic to the Atlantic ocean (although the closely related Indo-Pacific blue marlin may represent a separate population) and is most common in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Found far from land, it hunts fish and squid, using its bill to stun or injure its prey before eating it. A fully-grown blue marlin has few natural predators outside of large sharks, but it is popular with fishermen and numbers have declined due to overfishing.
