- Dive into the fascinating world of swordfish, one of the ocean's fastest and most intriguing predators. Contrary to popular belief, swordfish do not use their long bills for spearing but for slashing through schools of fish to stun or injure their prey. This video explores how their streamlined bodies, free of teeth and scales, enable them to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. Additionally, learn about the unique heat-generating organ near their eyes that allows them to hunt efficiently in the cold depths of the ocean, diving up to two thousand feet. Discover the solitary and opportunistic nature of their hunting lifestyle and how they differ from other large-billed marine species like marlin and sailfish.

Talks about swordfish, shows marlin, talks about people being confused by them 😂
You beat me to it!
@@ryanlipkin6964 I'm definitely no billfish expert, but I can tell a marlin from a swordfish. The different kinds of marlin are harder for me to tell apart, I've never seen them in person. I can tell a spearfish from a sailfish tho.
@@comfortablynumb9342the stripe Marlin is easy to spot and the others aren’t that hard either. The blue Marlin is the largest and is exactly that blue on top and sliver on bottom, black marlin are deeper blue on top and white Marlin are blue on top and sliver on bottom but have a shorter bill and larger dorsal fin. Almost kinda like a sailfish but not as big. Once you see the differences you’d be able to easily tell the difference.
Yep, you’re right because I saw that marlin too
Yeah....
So you just gonna leave me hanging on the dude that was impaled? 😅 Nice short though.
I want an update on that too, looks fake they have a whole ahh movie crew around him
@@willgee564it looks more like it’s under the leg than going through it
I googled “movie with swordfish impaled”. Apparently it’s rehearsal footage from a tv show called The Good Doctor.
Its movie set u can see camera and group of ppl in the back
They would’ve killed the fish long befor. Looks so fake 2
“They don’t use it for spearing”
* proceeds to show a video clip of the sword fish spearing a fish*
Was just gonna say that. Like way to ruin their own point. Also they do in fact stun their prey with it
They should've said: "don't use it _just_ for spearing"
If a fish was speared, how does it then get into the mouth to eat? Without hands, doesn’t seem like a good method for feeding!
@@brucekuehn4031I agree
@@brucekuehn4031if it swings from side to side it will slide off otherwise if it's a small enough fish it can open its mouth and tear it in half
Bro with the impaled fish on his legs crossing arms like he's so bored waiting for a taxi to show up 💀
😅
The LEG was impaled, not the fish. Your ability to write and express ideas is severely lacking. Stop the BRO crap too.
I think that was a movie set
@@brianvectorwhy does “bro” bother you?
@@brianvectoryou’re a weirdo
Bro has his arms crossed like he’s waiting in the lobby for his haircut appt
it's ftom a medical tv show, i forget which one but i remember the guy who plays house's best friend in house was the patient and the whole premise was that he was more worried about preserving the big fish than he was worried about his own health.
Also don’t people cross their arms to brace themselves for a potential painful event. I compound fractured my femur and putting myself back in his shoes for a moment, I was doing surprisingly well for how painful it was, tho I could see myself crossing my arms if they told me to prepare, etc…
I also screamed Aaaaahhh Kelly Clarkson when they drilled traction rods into my knee without any anesthetic or pain medications. I took it like a champ.
Who the fuck is bro. You sound like you're brown.
Apparently the first shot is behind the scenes rehearsal footage from a tv show called The Good Doctor.
I just googled “movie with swordfish impaled”.
And "The Good Doctor" is going off air. Just saw a video of the cast saying goodbye. I used to watch but fell off.
Lol I wondered how they got the patient to the doctor with the fish still alive 😂
Glad you found that… I screen shotted it and zoomed in and was like wtf there’s movie camera and a fish puppeteer 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your research! Wondered why the swordfish is alive and flipping? 😅
Well Jerry Lewis did it first I think. Did a whole movie while impaled.
Bro at the beginning just looks completely chilled out with that spear through his leg
Fake. As if the fish be still alive by time they got to hospital.
Yeah you can see the giant camera in the back.
Probably a movie/show
The Swordfish is the one who needs help here. That guy is acting like it was a mosquito bite.
I worked on a sword boat when I was a kid. Worked the crows nest. They liked basking in the sun.
So…we’re just not going to talk about the guy with an impaled leg? …. Ok cool 😎
And here I was thinking they used their swords for spearing. Silly me... for ever believing otherwise.
It’s on the set of The Good Doctor
That first image of the sword fish going through that guy's leg has its own camera crew 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Buddy the thing that u are showing is a marlin not a swordfish idk if I can trust u now 😅
This is what we get nowadays with this sh!tty ai generated content.
@@CaptainMarci104 yup people don’t even try anymore they just cheat their way through everything it’s really annoying to people that actually try on their content
@@TheAmazingBeanVROoh, that sounds like Donald Trump!
Some people think they use their swords for spearing, but they use their sword to slash back and forth. Proceeds to show a fish speared.
That's what you get from A "not so" I.
The first few clips are white and blue marlins the one your calling a marlin in the lasts one is a sailfish
Noo they use them for pointing at shit
and hunting
At litteral shit!!! It's how they know not to swim through the cloud of whale shit.
😂😂😂😂needs more likes
That's for teaching schools of fish
Damn,😂😂😂😂😂 got me off guard
They are truly majestic creatures. Swordfish , Marlins or Sailfish, it doesn't matter. This is my favourite kind of animal.
В смысле для рыбной ловли любимые?
*Topic: Swordfish
Video: Marlin*
FACTS and thank you
Exactly! These AI generated shorts are trash
Not to mention he said that people confuse swordfish with swordfish…
That's not a swordfish that is a striped Marlin. I just pulled up a 756 lb broad bill or swordfish. Their bills are double-edged and it's the same length as their body. Marlins bills aren't as long and they don't have a double-edged bill
LOL, some people mistake them for marlin, so then you show a marlin as a sword fish
Swordfish: ❌
Sword: ✅
Half of these were blue marlin and not swordfish.
Why you also mistake with marlin
Clearly can't tell Swordfish from other types of billfish such as Marlin and Sailfish to which they aren't even related!
Why did they keep that fish alive in the hospital . That's freaking hilarious
They didn’t because that’s not a real fish
Got a nice one down in Venezuela back in 1998. Great fighting fish. The party was on back at the marina.
I like how you mentioned people confuse them with sailfish and marlin because you did exactly that.
How tf was the guy in the first video so calm??
Bc it’s fake
@@nicolalugo3800 proof?
@@greyalien826 how calm the guy is. The fish is still alive at the hospital it would have died on the boat. It looks perfect with no marks like it just came out of the water. If you fish you would know how beat up they get just landing them. You would also know how quickly they die. Where’s the blood? From the fish and the guys leg looks perfectly healthy with no redness or swelling. Totality looks fake to me. That’s not a swordfish.
Wow that shot with its sword through that guy's leg is crazy
Learn your subject matter before publishing.
That first clip shows a dude with a swordfish through his leg while a doctor performs CPR on the swordfish 😂
Wasn’t expecting that injury wow
Must be on pain killers sitting so calmly
God is AWESOME!!!!!!!!😮Woooowwwww
This is misleading in making it look like Swordfish, Marlin and Sailfish aren't closely related, which they absolutely are. Their similarities aren't mere convergence. Putting them in more than one family is arbitrary.
The taxonomy is based on both fossil record and was reinforced with DNA sequencing
You are basing your stance on anatomical structure and using scientific words while ignoring science
I’m not sure why you said convergence for example as the structures are similar but not the same
@@jrich436 Marlins and sailfish together form the family Istiophoridae, which are a part of Istiophoriformes, and the closest relatives of Istiophoridae within Istiophoriformes are Xiphiidae (swordfish).
The relevant phylogeny here is *(Sphyraenidae,(Xiphiidae,Istiophoridae));*
Marlins, sailfish and swordfish are therefore more closely related to each other than to any other groups (the nearest relatives being the barracudas).
It is tradition to classify Xiphiids and Istiophorids as as separate families, but there is no hard phylogenetic reason for this, it is a mere taxonomic convention that is generally employed when two lineages are separated by a long amount of evolutionary time, even if they are still each other’s closest relatives.
But taxonomic convention aside, what matters is their evolutionary history, and this clearly shows that they are closely related groups, and that their similarities (chiefly the elongate rostra) are, as I wrote (and unlike what the video clearly implies by making the wrong claim that they are unrelated groups of fish) not convergent, but are synapomorphies of the clade that includes all of them, the aptly named *billfish (Xiphioidei).*
For a detailed phylogenetic analysis, see Santini and Sorenson 2013, doi:10.1080/11250003.2013.848945
In the future, please try to read up on the subject for a few minutes or at least try to comprehend what other people you are replying to actually said before making incorrect assertions as to what their "stance" is supposedly "based on" and unfounded accusation of "ignoring science".
@@Ornitholestes1 again…. We have both the fossil record and…. This is key…. DNA sequencing (Jrich436 2024) 🤣
The Scombroids were sequenced. There was sequencing done on Scombroids etc. What was done, was sequencing and what it was done on was Scombroids. Thought I would say it multiple times and in different ways since I didn’t register when I said it the first time
We also have fossil record. So recorded in fossils is the record. Of the record we have, there are fossil. That time I’m just talking down to you, because I’m going to humor myself
So GenBank sequences were compared and showed the relationship between Pleuronetiformes, Carangidae, Xiphiidae and Istiophoridae so the entire extant families
In addition to the point made the fossil record shows the billfish (group) showing up after those of the Pleuronectiformes and Carangidae with Xiphiidae centered in what is now the N Atlantic specifically (Tethys) showing separation from Istiophoride and by the Miocene giving us a look at Xiphiidae and Isriophoridae as separate.
Why?
Because of other members such as Aglyptorhynchus and Xiphioryhynchus amongst some 30 or so other species in the fossil record
See also Palaeorhynchidae, Blochiidae, Hemingwayidae
At the end of the day the taxonomy is part of science. It was done by people with bigger names than you with much more importance and control
It is in fact science
I really was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you just had a love of fishes (based on the name) and so were using
The structure as your base
Worst though is that you know juuuuuuust enough to be a jackass…. thinking your “educated” view trumps others and that it’s not possible for anyone else to either have a better understanding as self generated (like you) or from vetted sources with more knowledge/power than you.
Most likely, even worst, one wrapping their stance here on an over priced education in which you, at the end of the day, are a nobody. One desperately trying to make a mark and finding only places like this to have a voice as within academia they wouldn’t even let you speak as to not have to tell you to shut up….
WAY WORST
Let’s pretend I’ll read your response and then in 10 years we can revisit this with you having contributed nothing and the two families still being distinct…. Again…. Because of fossil record and DNA comparisons
Yes…. We do have some gaps, and things can be found and changed but YOU won’t be filling them and I’m willing to die on a hill that the naming (as done by scientists of more worth than you) sticks
Launch your diatribe and pretend I read it while talking about researching while not even taking a moment to look at the things I pointed at (fossil record/DNA) and doing NO cross referencing to defeat your own ego dependent stance
Continue to go back and forth with alternate me that’ll do so with a no name ichthyologist and get drawn back in like this is Twitter/Reddit 🤣
BEGIN!!!!
The impaled leg is BS. Fish is flailing yet the person's leg is motionless and the person is showing no signs of pain. As if the fish would still be alive after taking the victim to a med facility. What a crock
It's from a TV show.
Dude speared by the fish was acting like it was just another day. Boss😂
That first clip is the real life representation of fish out of water
I was not expecting to see that right out the gate dang warn a chick 😂
That first clip went by so fast; I thought the hospital staff was trying to do CPR on the fish while the impaled man just sat there ideally.
A sword fish and pistol shrimp got into an altercation. The shrimp said, "shouldn't have brought a sword to a gun fight."
Talking about sword fish and showing a hummingbird. That first fish is a striped marlin.
Yes
That’s a hell of a stabbing pain up the leg 🤕
I once had a nightmare in which swordfish used their swords to impale people, and they hunted in schools.
Sword fish through leg is from the good doctor, fish later explodes during an mri because it ate a license plate. Funny scene.
The first clip 💀
Super great Natural Submarine 👌
They DO bring their swords to a gun fight
Definitely a tv show scene with the first guy considering the size of the camera in the background
They use them to locate food/threats at distance also
I agree, save the fish, forget the human!
Dudes got a swordfish impaled through his leg and somehow there's a camera crew in the back getting it all on footage
Swordfish slashes like a sword. Spearfish spears like a spear.
"Most people mistake Marlins for Swordfish..." _uses Marlins for like half the vid_ 😅
For real
You have photos of marlin mixed in with the Swordfish. They are not one of the fastest fish in the ocean but the Indo Pacific Sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean. Clocking speeds up to 110 km/hr!
1st guy: Have you had a bad day?
Did they just compared the average height of 3 humans to a 5 footer!? 😂😂😂
Brain heater sounds really useful.
The guy on the boat with that thing comin ' right at him 😳
I literally just saw one had speared a fish!
Apparently you make the mistake between swordfish and marlin too, because you didn’t show a single swordfish they were all marlin except for that impaled one that was from a movie
" shouldn't we just cut the sword off the fish? "
" No... they should see this trophy for what it is "
60 miles per hour = 88 feet per second.
People always think it’s a sword fish any time they see a fish with a bill. Usually it’s a marlin since sword fish are pretty rare to see.
The man at the beginning is Uber sigma. Sitting there with his whole ass leg impaled arms crossed calm as a Sunday morning while the fish is flopping around.
These things are jumping out of the water going “Any one of you chaps up for some swordplay? En Garde!”
You all realize the first clip is for a movie, it’s not real. 🤣
Yeah, my teeth really slow me down. I have a friend that said, "I can fix that!". But I was like, "Naw, I'm good".
Their skin has a golf-ball-like texture (kind of), which helps reduce surface area and makes the fish virtually more slippery under the water.
My guy is just sitting there. Like a nonchalant shish kebab.
Not what you expect... that's exactly what I expected
I caught one during the buccaneer tournament in jupiter. 7 ft. What a fight
*_Old Man and the Sea intensifies_*
He definitely wouldn’t be sitting there with his arms crossed 😂
Showing a man impaled, uncensored, and not getting smited by the youtube age restriction gods is actually insane
Not a swordfish
Talks about swordfish and shows marlin. And then he makes fun of people who can’t distinguish them.
Crazy how patient and swordfish made it to the hospital and no one has brained it yet!
Most of these fish are marlin. Nice footage, but...
Sword fish are easy to tell apart from the others cause of their fins on the back/top of them.
The sword kept that one fish just out of reach of its mouth.
Swordfish - video proceeds to show a striped Marlin.
"some people get marlin and swordfish confused" *most of backround footage is striped marlin* also, as evidenced by the speared boat and leg, billfish do occasionally stab in addition to slashing, though the latter is much more common.
I didn’t know they had that specialized organ and that they hunted so deep. Fascinating 👍
Also, when the Swordfish is about to strike into a School of Sardines or other Prey, the stripes on its body become more bright, which, in combination with its speed, disorients the Prey....
Guys the first person with the swordfish bill stuck in his leg was in a movie set
It's for smacking not for stabbing.
Sawfish similarly use their toothy nose to both detect, and wack their prey.
Some of the video was a stripped and blue marlin. And they all belong to the family to Billfish.
“Swordfish don’t use their nose for spearing fish”
Shows a picture of a fish speared on the swordfish’s nose.
Wow, I’ve never seen a stripped swordfish, both amazing and a little scary.
Interesting wow sail fish sword fish Marline didn't know that
I guess that’s Clickbait to have a picture of somebody who got speared which probably is less frequent than getting hit by lightning, which is actually really really frequent.
Some people think they use their swords for spearing…… then shows fish speared by their sword.
I thought he was just pinning it down. Lmao
First scene - OUCH!
dude feels no pain
For anyone curious the first clip is from a movie, you can see the camera man in the background
What an amateur documentation showing sailfish and Marlin explaining about swordfish - come on
The fact a fish can outrin most boats says alot
Sword fish are the lone wolfs of the sea.
Ahhh so thats where my sword went...
Those were all Marlin ironically
Says they don't impale, shows one impale
Bro in the beginning be like, eeeey om bored! Call me a cab
