Meet the Pelagic fish | Upcoming Florida DLC

Continuing our exciting journey through the Florida DLC for Ultimate Fishing Simulator, this week we're venturing into the realm of Pelagic Fish. After exploring the coastal species last week, we're now heading into the open ocean for some of the most exhilarating catches in the game.

Here's what you can look forward to in the Florida DLC:

The Blue Marlin, recognized for its distinct bill, employs this feature in predation, yet the precise extent of its use remains enigmatic. A comprehensive 2007 Japanese study examined the stomach contents of fish captured in a commercial trolling fishery, yielding intriguing findings. Among 227 blue marlins studied, a remarkable 130 undigested prey items exhibited injuries like spearing and slashing, suggesting that the bill played a significant role in their capture.

The overfishing of yellowfin tuna is placing a perilous strain on the very essence of this majestic species. Driven by relentless demand, the excessive harvesting not only depletes tuna populations but also jeopardizes the intricate dynamics of their marine habitats. Immediate and effective conservation measures are imperative to safeguard the future of yellowfin tuna, preserving not just a sought-after culinary delight but a vital component of our oceanic biodiversity.

The Blackfin Tuna, the smallest species within the Thunnus genus, presents a unique challenge for anglers due to its similarity with the yellowfin tuna upon capture. Despite its diminutive size, distinguishing the blackfin from its larger counterpart can be challenging due to the presence of younger yellowfin tuna living in proximity to the blackfin tuna. To ensure accurate identification, a key strategy is to scrutinize the coloration of the dorsal finlets, which exhibit a distinctive brownish hue, contrasting with the vibrant yellow characteristic of the yellowfin.



[h3]Little tunny[/h3]
Frequently misidentified by fishermen and referred to as a "bonito." The term "bonito" is usually assigned to species of the genus Sarda, some of which share their range with the Little Tunny. The misidentification may be attributed to their similar coloration and patterns. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Little Tunny is often characterized as a "trash fish" due to its oily and bloody meat. This particular attribute necessitates proper bleeding of the fish before cooking to eliminate the strong, fishy flavor that may otherwise be present.



[h3]Mahi-mahi (new model)[/h3]
Exhibit fascinating color changes based on their state and age. When in a relaxed state, these remarkable fish showcase a captivating hue of silver-blue. However, their chromatic palette undergoes a vivid transformation during predation, where they transition to a striking bright yellow. Mahi-mahis also exhibit sexual dimorphism, a characteristic that distinguishes males from females. Males boast distinctive square-shaped foreheads. On the other hand, females present a different profile, with foreheads that are more rounded out.



Each of these pelagic species brings its own unique challenge and excitement, adding to the rich fishing experience we've crafted for you.
