Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), also known as broadbills, are large highly migratory, predatory fish characterized by a long, flat, sword-like bill. They are found widely in tropical and temperate parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, from near the surface to a depth of 550m (1,800ft). Swordfish are the sole member of their family Xiphiidae.
They can reach up to a length of 4.5m, with average length measuring 3.5m. Their average body weight is around 200-300kg, while the maximum weight is recorded at 650kg.
Swordfish has great speed and agility in water and is one of the fastest fish in the ocean. They are not schooling fish and often swim alone or in very loose aggregation. Swordfish have been fished widely since ancient times, especially in Greece, and harpooning and long-line fishing are used to harvest them.
