| | Swordfish |
 | | Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) are large, highly migratory predators characterized by a long, flat bill in contrast to the smooth, round bill of the marlins. |
 | | In the North Pacific, batch spawning occurs in water warmer than 24C from March to July and year round in the equatorial Pacific. |
 | | Adult swordfish forage includes pelagic fish including small tuna, dorado, barracuda, flying fish, mackerel, as well as benthic species of hake and rockfish. |
