A deep-diving swordfish, photographed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at 701 meters below the surface. Swordfish prefer water temperatures between 18 and 22 °C (64 and 72 °F), [3] but have the widest tolerance among billfish, and can be found from 5 to 27 °C (41 to 81 °F). [6]

Only 13 per cent of all fish species live in the open ocean, off the shelf. Of these, 1 per cent are epipelagic, 5 per cent are pelagic, and 7 per cent are deep water. [16]
Some live in the deep sea (such as the Ceratiidae), while others live on the continental shelf, such as the frogfishes and the Lophiidae (monkfish or goosefish). Pelagic forms are most often laterally compressed, whereas the benthic forms are often extremely dorsoventrally compressed (depressed), often with large upward-pointing mouths.
