    		From my research, I found the same fishy and the same speed - sailfish topping out a 68.18 mph. Other fast marine dwellers include:

    Mako Shark, Isurus oxyrinchus: 60 mph
    Marlin, Tetrapturus sp. 50 mph
    Wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri 48.5 mph
    Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus thynnus 43.4 mph
    Blue Shark, Prionace glauca 43 mph
    Bonefish, Albula vulpes 40 mph
    Swordfish, Xiphius gladius 40 mph

    The sea horse at 0.01 mph is the slowest.
