locodave Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Doesnt look real to me. Especially how the fin has a darker colour and the way it blends in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This seems to be a well documented catch. But is described as leuistic not albino. Mutant marlin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattart Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) It is real from a few months ago and there is a full video of the capture I'll try to track down. As Steve mentioned it is a leuistic Blue Marlin. The fin darker near the body is just shadow. Edited May 7, 2015 by boattart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Leucism / is a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
