Swordfish

The swordfish (Xiphias gladius), also known as the broadbill in some countries, is a large predatory fish that are characterized by their long, flat, pointed bill. Swordfish are round-bodied and elongated. After reaching adulthood, they lose all of their teeth and scales. Swordfish are widely distributed in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans and are found usually near the surface to a depth of 550 m. They usually reach 3 m in length, and the largest reported is 4.55 m in length and 650 kg in weight. Swordfish are popular sport fish, though elusive.
