All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
The white marlin (Kajikia albida) is a pelagic, highly migratory species that lives in warm tropical and subtropical Atlantic waters. Key habitat points:

- Open ocean (epipelagic zone), usually near the surface down to roughly 150–200 m.
- Prefers warm sea temperatures (roughly 20–28 °C).
- Common in the western and eastern Atlantic, including the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and off the U.S. east coast, as well as tropical Atlantic areas.
- Often associated with oceanic features such as currents, eddies, seamounts and floating debris or Sargassum where prey concentrates.
