A marine fish of the Perciformes order, family Heteroptera (illustration). Its name comes from the fact that its long body and silvery-white color resemble a sword. Its English name is ribbonfish or hairtail, a reference to the length of its body and tail. It inhabits warm waters almost all over the world. In Japan, it is found south of southern Hokkaido, but is particularly a target of fishing in the Seto Inland Sea and the East China Sea. It has no pelvic or caudal fins, and its anal fin is merely a small protrusion. It has no scales. Its teeth are sharp, with the tips of its canines curved into hooks.

スズキ目タチウオ科の海産魚(イラスト)。体が長く,銀白色の体色が太刀を思い起こさせることに由来した名称。英名はribbonfish,またはhairtailといい,体や尾の長さにちなんでいる。ほとんど全世界の暖海域に生息する。日本では北海道南部以南に分布するが,とくに瀬戸内海や東シナ海では漁業の対象となる。腹びれも尾びれもなく,またしりびれも小さな突起として存在するだけである。うろこはない。歯は鋭く,犬歯の先は鉤(かぎ)状に曲がる。
