Description:
Hardback. New. A perfect fish in the evolutionary sense, the broadbill swordfish derives its name from its distinctive bill - much longer and wider than the bill of any other billfish - which is flattened into the sword we all recognize. This book provides a complete history of the fish from its prehistoric fossils to its present-day endangerment.
