The smallest of the four marlin in the Istiophoridae family of billfish, the white marlin is a top-rated light-tackle gamefish and the most frequently encountered marlin along the East Coast of the United States, where it is almost exclusively released (often tagged) after capture.
Identification. The body of the white marlin is elongate and compressed, and its upper jaw extends in the form of a spear. It is generally lighter in color and tends to show more green than do other marlin, although it may at times appear to be almost chocolate brown along the back; the flanks are silvery and taper to a white underbelly. Several light blue or lavender vertical bars may show on the flanks. Its most characteristic feature is the rounded, rather than pointed, tips of the pectoral fins, the first dorsal fin, and the first anal fin. The first dorsal fin is convex, and the flat, movable pectoral fins can easily be folded flush against the sides of the body.

Although this pelagic and migratory species usually favors deep-blue tropical and warm temperate (exceeding 81°F) waters, it frequently comes in close to shore where waters aren’t much deeper than 8 fathoms. It is normally found above the thermocline, and its occurrence varies seasonally. It is present in higher latitudes in both the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres during the respective warm seasons. It is usually solitary but sometimes travels in small groups, the latter tendency reflecting feeding opportunities. Spawning occurs in the spring, with both sexes reaching maturity at around 51 inches in length.
Food and feeding behavior. White marlin feed on assorted pelagic fish and squid, including sardines and herring.
