Sailfish can be regarded as the swimming champion among animals, with a speed of 90km at ordinary times and a speed of 1 10km at short distance. Sometimes it swims so fast that even the fastest boat falls far behind.
According to the swimming speed record, the order is: swordfish, swordfish, tuna, big trough white fish, flying fish, trout, and then the dolphins turn around.
Sailfish is a large fish, more than 2 meters long. The upper jaw protrudes forward like a sword. On the blue-brown body, there are gray spots, which are arranged vertically and look like dots. The first dorsal fin of swordfish is long and high, and the upper edge of the front end is concave. When they stand upright, they look like sails and flags raised on a ship. So people call it sailfish.
When swordfish swim, put down its dorsal fin to reduce resistance; A sword-like kiss quickly separates the water from both sides; Swing the tail handle and tail fin constantly, like a propeller on a ship. Coupled with its streamlined body, developed muscles and great swinging power, it moves as fast as an arrow.
The swimming speed of swordfish has been observed and recorded in the Atlantic Ocean of Florida Peninsula. There is a swordfish that swam 9 1.44 meters in 3 seconds, with a speed of about 1 10 km per hour. This world swimming champion record has not been broken by any fish or other animals so far.
Sailfish is a kind of marine fish, distributed in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. It is also found in the southern East China Sea and South China Sea of China. Scientists believe that in addition to the characteristics of body structure, the marine environment is also an important factor for swordfish to swim so fast. The water in the ocean is very fast. If you don't swim fast, you will be washed away by the current and swallowed by natural enemies. In the long-term natural selection, swordfish set a record of fast swimming.
Sailfish are extremely fierce and carnivorous. In the ocean, many fish like to swim together in groups. There are often "uninvited guests" in fish schools, and swordfish is one of the "fish tyrants". They raised the flag-dorsal fin, kissed like a sword, stabbed east and west, danced left and right with the tail fin like a machete, smashed and tore the fish at close range, and the whole group of fish was washed apart and fled for their lives. Soon, the dead fish were floating everywhere in the ocean, and even the sea water was dyed red. Swordfish swallowed some fish that had just been killed, leaving a lot of inedible fish and swaggering away.
