  FIGIS - FAO/SIDP Species Identification Sheet: Istiophorus platypterus
Istiophorus platypterus (Shaw and Nodder, 1972) - Istiophoridae
I. platypterus is widely distributed in the tropical and temperate waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans.
The feeding behaviour of I. platypterus has been observed by fishermen as follows: when one or several sailfish found a school of prey fishes (sardines, anchovies, mackerels, or jack mackerels), they began to pursue it at half speed with their fins half- folded back into the grooves.

 Fastest In the Ocean
What little we do know about the sailfish is limited to its range, habitat, growth, and diet.
Range and Habitat: Sailfish are found in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with different scientific names assigned to the fish in either ocean (Pacific - Istiophorus albicans; Atlantic - Istiophorus platypterus).
However, scientists now believe that these fish are actually the same species, the only difference being the ocean in which they live and their size - the Pacific ocean sailfish tend to grow significantly larger (up to 10 feet).
