Answer: Sailfish

With an erectile dorsal fin that often stretches the full length of the back, sailfish (Istiophorus albicans and Istiophorus platypterus) live in the warmer waters of all the oceans. Being blue to grey in color, these fish can change their body to a light blue with stripes when they get excited.

This tactic allows them to confuse their prey, making capture a lot easier. It also signals other sailfish. These fish have elongated bills which make them look similar to both marlins and swordfish. Normally, they keep their sail (dorsal fin) folded down to one side when they are swimming, but if they feel threatened or excited they raise the fin which makes them look a lot bigger than they are.

They also have been seen raising their sail when feeding, to herd their prey.

They reach lengths up to 10 feet (3m) and attain weights as much as 200 lb (90 kg). These are fast fish and have been clocked at 70 mph (110 km/h).
