Species Overview
Atlantic Sailfish
The sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean, reaching speeds up to 110 km/h. Its enormous dorsal fin, or 'sail,' can be raised to herd baitfish. When hooked, it performs spectacular tail-walking displays across the water surface.
Nile Tilapia
The Nile tilapia is the most widely farmed fish species in the world, cultivated in over 120 countries. Originally from Africa, it is a hardy, fast-growing mouth-brooder that thrives in a wide range of environmental conditions.
