Largest of the New Zealand marlin. Found near islands and reefs, in surface water, and feed on small tuna, if available, but also feed on squid, cuttlefish, crustaceans and yellowtail kingfish. These will be described soon but, right now, I have to go fishing. Best eating fish. Cute blue spots on red toned skin.
Older fish turn gray.
Similar in body shape to a new zealand snapper, but with a nose more pointed. Trevally are very strong swimmers, popular for salt water fly fishing, and an excellent bait source. Scroll-like markings on the back, dark tones on the sides, red around ventral fins. Best eating, among trout. Also called the broadbill, or broadbill swordfish, features include a long, flat, bill with a body more tapered than a marlin's, tall dorsal fin, and a dull gray or silver gray tone above mid-sagittal.
