One of the most expensive [[ocean]] [[fish]], the '''Blue Marlin''', despite appearing all the time in late summer, is actually very hard to find. Selling for 10,000 Bells, this fish resembles a swordfish. It has a long, pointed extension of its mouth. The fish can be found all day and has a large shadow size.

==Donating to the Museum==
When placed in the [[museum]] in all games, the fish goes in the very back tank and zips around very quickly.

===In ''City Folk''===
[[Blathers]] will talk about the blue marlin when donated:

"''Hootie hoo, what a magnificent fish! Look at that sleek, hornlike bill! This fish is quite fast, said to be capable of reaching speeds of up to 62 miles per hour... A regular oceanic speed demon, wot? If you get in its way, beware! It might not be able to stop in time!''"

==Encyclopedia Information==
Once the [[player]] has caught a particular [[fish]] or [[bug]], they can find information about it in the bug or fish menus. Once the blue marlin has been caught, the following information can be found in the fish menu:

== Further information ==
The Animal Crossing blue marlin is actually the Atlantic variation. In the wild, it uses its big spear-like snout to attack fish and cepapholods that it may eat, such as [[tuna]] and [[squid]]. Represented in-game by the fact that it only appears in summer, the Atlantic blue marlin generally stays in the area of ocean south of Spain but north of South Africa. There are many names for this fish such as billfish, ocean guard, and Cuban black marlin.
