The Atlantic blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) is a species of marlin endemic to the Atlantic Ocean. Blue marlins are distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. It preys on a wide variety of marine organisms, mostly near the surface, often using its bill to stun or injure its prey.
