swordfish

Swordfish are large, predatory fish known for their elongated, pointed bills resembling swords, which they use to slash and capture prey. They are highly mobile, capable of rapid swimming, and are found in warm and temperate ocean waters worldwide. As active hunters, they feed mainly on fish and squid. Swordfish are important commercially, valued for their firm, meaty flesh, particularly in culinary dishes like steaks. They play a vital role in marine ecosystems as top predators. Conservation efforts focus on sustainable fishing practices to ensure healthy populations and prevent overfishing.
