==Donating to the museum==
When placed in the [[museum]] in all games, the fish goes in the very back tank and zips around very quickly.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
[[Blathers]] says this about the blue marlin when donated:
{{Blathers|WW|To be honest, this is the first time that I've seen a proper blue marlin, wot wot! As you can see, its bill is quite dangerous. Every year people are injured by them. Still, how can one complain? If you were to drag me out of the museum one night... I assure you, I would give you a pecking you'd not soon forget, hoo!}}

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
[[Blathers]] will talk about the blue marlin when donated:
{{Blathers|CF|Hootie hoo, what a magnificent fish! Look at that sleek, hornlike bill! This fish is quite fast, said to be capable of reaching speeds of up to 62 miles (100 kilometers) per hour... A regular oceanic speed demon, wot? If you get in its way, beware! It might not be able to stop in time!}}

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
{{Blathers|NL|Blue marlins are famous for their long, swordlike noses that give them the nickname 'swordfish.' They use their 'swords' to knock out their prey before capture, not skewering it as you'd think. Able to swim at speeds above 60 mph, their speed and power make them a true test for any angler.}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{NHFishDescription}}
{{Blathers|NH|The '''blue marlin''' has a distinctive angular shape and no scales. It is an unusual relative of the tuna. These mighty fish can exceed 13 feet from bill to tail. Some accounts even have it fighting with whales! No wonder it's a popular target for sport fishing: unlike most fish, it seems like a worthy opponent.}}

The Blue Marlin can be found in the large, vertical fish tank in the rightmost room in the aquarium.

==Fishing Tourney==
==={{NL|short|nolink}}===
During a [[Fishing Tourney]], when given a Blue Marlin, [[Chip]] will say the following:
{{Chip|NL|Of course, blue marlin are a bit too big to grill in just one piece. Unless you're experienced like me. Well, I think I'm just gonna tuck into this guy, no preparation needed! Behold my fish-eating skill! YUM!}}

== Real-world information ==
[[File:Blue Marlin Real.jpg|thumb|left|A real life Blue Marlin]]
In the wild, it uses its big spear-like snout to attack fish and cepapholods that it may eat, such as [[tuna]] and [[squid]]. Represented in-game by the fact that it only appears in summer, the Atlantic blue marlin generally stays in the area of ocean south of Spain but north of South Africa. There are many names for this fish such as billfish, ocean guard, and Cuban black marlin.
