Swordfish Habitat

You can find swordfish from 60 N (North) and 45 S (South). Below is a picture of the world that has a stripe on it. Within that stripe are the places swordfishes are found. Swordfish are found in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Japan also gets a lot of the world's swordfish, which is why it is the top swordfish fishing country. Swordfish like tropical climates, mainly ranging from 64 to 72 degrees. Swordfish can only go down to 9,442 feet. They normally range around 1,800 feet, but at night they come up to fish and air their dorsal fins.
