Some saltwater fish live along the coasts of continents.
Others live far from shore in the open ocean, though many of these fish also swim close to shore from time to time. Both coastal and open-ocean species are pictured in these drawings. Fish of the open ocean shown here include dolphin fish, flying fish, herring, mackerel, manta rays, marlin, ocean sunfish, sailfish, swordfish, and tuna. Most of the other fish pictured live mainly in coastal waters. Some coastal fish, such as bull sharks and sawfish, always stay close to land.
