Compared to its cousins, the sailfish is relatively abundant. It is found world-wide in tropical and temperate seas. Like the other billfish, commercial mortality is the major risk to the health of the species and it is considered a food fish over most of its range.That attitude is changing.he high dorsal fin, the sail, makes the sailfish the easiest of the billfish to identify. Well, the swordfish is also rather distinct but it is in an entirely different family than the Istiophoridae family which includes the marlins, spearfish, and sailfish.
