10 BIGGEST FISH IN THE WORLD

Have you ever wonder what falls in the category of biggest fish in the world? I
have a bucket list that will leave you in awe. Well, with all due respect to your
imagination, I wouldn’t blame you for understating the charisma of these wild
beast. Lurching in these must feel like pulling in a submarine because of their
enormous size. I’ll tell you about 10 biggest fish in the world, that’ll definitely
blow your mind away. Let’s take a look at it!
 10. SWORDFISH
Swordfish is one of the fastest, strongest predators and an important fishery
species, actually one of the largest species of bony fishes. Swordfish gets its
common name from the long, sword-like bill that grows from the front of its head.
It use this sword to stun their prey by slashing their heads in a side-to-side motion,
knocking potential prey unconscious, and making it easier to catch. After more
than 62 years, Lou Marron’s historic record still stands. He caught the Swordfish,
one of the fearsome and merciless creature I’d say, by trolling a live Bonito near
the coast of Chile. They commonly reach 3 meters in length, and the maximum
length reported is about 4.55 meters and 650 kg in weight.

9. HALIBUT
Halibut are included in 10 biggest fish of the world because of their enormous
weight. Halibut are born swimming, with eyes on either side of their head. As they
grow (by the time say, six months old), one eye migrates to the right side and the
young halibut begin swimming sideways, with both eyes on the top of their
bodies. Largest recently recorded halibut was 211 kilograms (470 lb.) and 2.5
meters (8.2 ft.) in length, caught by Bosse Carlsson and Hans Oluf Nilsson outside,
Norway in year 2009. Wikipedia do lists the halibut as one of the biggest flat fish,
almost 11–13.5 kilograms (24–30 lb.), but as large as 333 kilograms (734 lb.) has
also been reported.

8.GIANT OCEANIC MANTA RAY
These giant oceanic manta ray grows to about 16 ft length, weighing up to 3 tones.
They are termed as largest specie of ray family. Their habitat is tropical and
subtropical parts of the ocean. Their feed includes plankton. Manta ray either swim
alone or in groups with other members of its group (same specie) or also with
members of other species. Giant mantas are known to undergo long migrations and
may visit colder waters for short periods of the year. The significant threat to giant
manta rays is the commercial fishing, both being targeted and caught as by catch.


7.OCEAN SUNFISH:
Curious right! The name of this fish makes me wonder about its shape. We all
know that fish vary from different sizes, another type of the largest fish is bonny
fish named Ocean fish. Growing as large as 10 feet across its body, 14 feet across
its fins, and weighing over 5,000 pounds. It is known that the common food of
these fishes is mostly jellyfish and have a beak-like mouth. Sunfish are vulnerable
to few natural predators, but sea lions, killer whales, and sharks will consume
them. Among humans, sunfish are considered a elegance in some parts of the
world, including Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. They typically weight between 247 to
1000 kg’s. This is oddly shaped fish, which get its name due to its habit of floating
on the size, at the sea surface. We can say that Ocean sunfish is the most
fascinating and mysterious creature on earth yet.

6.BELUGA FISH:
As the most massive fish, the second longest fish after the giant oarfish is
BELUGA, as well as the largest freshwater fish in the world. This fish is
considered as the most expensive fish to eat, reason behind this is natural
factors such as the water where the fish live and this is the factor which really
matters. The off-taste may often be a reason for seasonal factors. Some prefer the
pure taste of the Beluga and this is why caviar from this sturgeon is so expensive.
The beluga sturgeon is a long lived species known yet, living over 100 years.
Although it is reported to grow to 10m in length and weigh up to 2000kg,
according to research the largest recorded Beluga, caught in the Volga estuary in
1827, was a female fish measuring 7.2m in length and weighing 1,476kg. This the
reason to include it in the list of 10 biggest fish in the world.


5.ATLANTIC BLUE MARLIN;
This is one of oceans fastest, strongest predicator known of the United States and it
is captured in Indian Ocean. Atlantic blue marlin are highly migratory and they
usually stay in warm waters. It is heard that Commercial fishing for Atlantic blue
marlin is prohibited in the United States. Talking about the appearance of this kind
of fish; Atlantic blue marlins can grow to be 14 feet long and weigh 2000 pounds.
Females grow far larger than males.
