Xiphias gladius (species) (Xiphias (genus), Xiphiidae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of a species of elongated, streamlined bony fish, distinguished by a tall dorsal fin, lack of pelvic fins, lack of scales and teeth in adults, and a long sword extending from its snout, used to slash at prey fish. The sword is flat, rather than rounded as in other spear-nosed fishes (such as the marlin), and thus the fish is sometimes called "broadbill."

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種體型瘦長且呈流線型的硬骨魚。其特徵為有高背鰭，無腹鰭，成魚無鱗且不具頜齒，其吻部向前延伸呈劍狀突出，用於砍擊獵物。相較於槍魚等擁有圓形矛狀吻部的魚類，劍旗魚的吻部呈扁平狀，因此有時亦被稱為「闊嘴魚(broadbill)」。 |
