Disclaimer: This list is using only verified speeds taking into account all types of action e.g. swimming, leaping, gliding. This list only takes into account fish and not marine mammals e.g. killer whales. It is claimed that fish such as the Black Marlin (Istiompax indica) can reach incredible speeds (80 mph or 129 km/h) however these speeds have only been estimated based on how fast a fish can initially strip a fishing line.

  • @mheb6370
    The Black Marlin is estimated to have a top speed of 80mph. Their speed has been measured by how quickly they strip line off a fishing reel when hooked.
  • @Iamreallyhim
    the black marlin has been recorded to go 80 mph
  • @The_Real_Trash
    I thought the Barracuda would be up there, it can reach 36mph which is faster than the flying fish
  • @purplekillerpenguin
    I clicked because I am curious about these amazing creatures, not to see them brutally murdered.
  • @faresrahmouni7738

  • @Lia-zf5rb
    The albacore tuna kinda looked like weird penguin when it was swimming
  • @yasirxxiii

  • @re-vb9ph
    What song is playing in the background? I feel like I've heard it before.
  • @Phoenix-mn2yt
    Giant trevally or trevally in general, can reach 60km or 37mph like the mahi mahi, but they are pretty powerful no matter how big or small they are Maybe between a mahi mahi and a Bonita
  • @derrickrr5516
    The last time I saw Prince Eric and Ariel they said Flounder and Sebastian told them thousands of black marlins want to be filmed doing 80.
  • @HEKTOR311
    Marlin and Mahi Mahi are my favorites
  • @danarief
    Please top 10 fish while their swim, not while they are hooked and dead.
