Sailfish

Description
The sailfish is named for its large, sail-like dorsal fin. Its body exhibits a dark blue hue on the back and a grayish white tone on the belly. A distinguishing feature is the 17 cobalt-spotted stripes running from the back to the stomach. As it swims, parts of its dorsal and caudal fins break the water's surface, making it easy to catch with a harpoon.
