Using the weight calculation formula, the swordfish measured 138 inches overall — 98 from the lower jaw to the fork of the tail — and had a girth of 64 inches. "It was a fat fish, too.

Species of fish that are long-lived and high on the food chain, such as marlin, tuna, shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish contain higher concentrations of mercury than others. [4]
A deep-diving swordfish, photographed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at 701 meters below the surface. Swordfish prefer water temperatures between 18 and 22 °C (64 and 72 °F), [3] but have the widest tolerance among billfish, and can be found from 5 to 27 °C (41 to 81 °F). [6]
[123] [124] The largest drum is the Totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) of the Gulf of California, at up to 100 kg (220 lb) and 2 m (6.6 ft) long.

If this is a problem with dolphins it is an even greater problem with billfish such as swordfish, which swim and accelerate faster than dolphins.
