Billfish include sailfish and marlin, which make up the Istiophoridae, and swordfish, sole member of the Xiphiidae family. Sailfish (istiophorus platypterus), Billfish is an active migrant during the migration season, from the northern hemisphere to their destination in Australia, between March to September.

One reason for their presence in the area is the abundance of shoals of anchovies and other small fish to feed on.
