SWORDFISH
Swordfish can swim up to 60 mph, one of the fastest fish known.
The largest swordfish ever taken by rod and reel weighed 1,182 pounds; the fish was caught off the coast of Chile.
The United States is the world's leading consumer of swordfish.
There are reports from the 19th century of swordfish penetrating a ships hull, through copper sheathing and oak planks up to a depth of 10 inches.
The average north Atlantic swordfish caught today is one-third the size of swordfish caught in the 1960s and well below the size that female fish must reach in order to reproduce. (2003)
