Black Marlin
The black marlin exhibits a striking blue hue while alive, with a contrasting white underside. Upon death, this underside darkens to black, which is the origin of its name. While its flavor is generally considered less appealing compared to other swordfish species, the black marlin is notably low in fat, offering a lean and mild taste that is appreciated by those who prefer less oily fish.
Fishing Zones
Known fishing zones are established by reviewed baseline data or maintained community assignments.

How ranking evidence is attributed
Ranking observations record a fish, timestamp, and player position—not the fish’s exact catch location. FishyStuff attributes a 500-game-unit uncertainty ring around that position to the current fishing-zone map.
The entire uncertainty ring falls inside one fishing zone in the current map. This is stronger spatial support, but it is not promoted automatically: ranking evidence does not establish a fishing group, and zone boundaries may still need review.
The ring crosses a zone border and touches more than one fishing zone. Every touched zone receives weaker positive support because the exact zone attribution is unclear.
These counts indicate presence support, not catch rates or drop rates.
