🔬 物种简介
旗鱼是世界上游速最快的鱼类之一，最高时速可达110 km/h，是名副其实的"海中猎豹"。捕猎时会协作将沙丁鱼群驱赶成紧密的饵球，再用剑形上颌劈打猎物，然后将其吞食。背部的巨大帆状背鳍是其标志性特征。
Wikipedia
The Indo-Pacific sailfish is a sailfish native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is naturalized in the Atlantic where it has entered the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal as a Lessepsian migrant. It is dark blue on top, brown-blue laterally, silvery white underbelly; upper jaw elongated in the form of a spear; first dorsal fin greatly enlarged in the form of a sail, with many black cones, its front squared off, highest at its midpoint; pelvic fins very narrow, reaching almost to the anus; body covered with embedded scales, blunt at end; lateral line curved above pectoral fin, then straight to base of tail. They have a large and sharp bill, which they use for hunting. They feed on tuna and mackerel, some of the fastest fish in the ocean. Most authorities only recognise a single species of sailfish, I. platypterus.
