There is much debate over who holds the title for fastest-swimming fish in the ocean. Perhaps because it is a challenge to measure. Some experts believe the sailfish holds the title with speeds of up to 126 km/h (78 mph), or a maximum acceleration speed of 1.79 G. But, according to research by the Large Pelagics Research Center, the bluefin tuna far exceeded the sailfish’s record, hitting a maximum acceleration of 3.27 G or 232 km/h (144 mph).
