The striped marlin is a large species of fish found in warm ocean waters, particularly in the Pacific Ocean. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring a long, slender body and distinctive blue and silver stripes along its sides. This fish can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh over 200 pounds, making it a popular target for sport fishing. Striped marlins are highly migratory and often travel in schools. They primarily feed on smaller fish, such as sardines and mackerel, using their speed and agility to catch prey. Their impressive leaping ability and acrobatic displays make them a favorite among anglers and marine enthusiasts.
