A marine fish of the family Marlinidae in the order Perciformes. It is also called Sanmakjiki because it resembles a Pacific saury. It is also called Sugiyama. Its English name is short bill spearfish, which comes from the fact that its beak is shorter than that of other marlins. There are five species in the genus Spearfish distributed around the world, but the Spearfish and Japanese marlins live in the waters off Japan. The Spearfish is found from various places west of Sagami Bay to Taiwan. It is the smallest of the marlin species, reaching only 2m in length and weighing about 50kg.
