The Great Marlin
Marlin is the name of a group of large game fishes that live in the ocean. They are related to the spearfishes and sailfishes. Most marlins weigh from 50 to 400 pounds, but some weigh much more. The largest ever caught, a black marlin, weighed about 1,560 pounds. The marlin has a pointed spear that may measure 2 feet long. The marlin's dorsal fin looks like a sickle, and its tail is crescent shaped. White marlins live in the Atlantic Ocean and striped marlins live in the Pacific. Black marlins and blue marlins live in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Marlins often leap high in the air.
