A beachcomber found the softball-sized eyeball on the sand in Pompano Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, speculating that perhaps it came from a squid.
Experts examined the eyeball and believe it belongs to a swordfish based on the its size, color and structure.
Based on straight cuts on the bone around the eyeball experts think an angler cut it out of a swordfish and tossed it overboard.
The half-ton fish are frequently found in the Florida Straits off South Florida at this time of year, according to the statement.
DNA testing is being done to confirm the finding, the agency said.
