Well first of all, there is no such thing as a spearfish. Spearfishing is a sport.
This is incorrect. There is such a thing as a Spearfish. There are several types of Spearfish, which like swordfish, are Marlin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlin. Spearfish, like Sailfish, have really large, wavy dorsal fins (like sails), whereas Swordfish do not. Swordfish are also larger. I'm not sure the difference between Spearfish and Sailfish however, except that it is prohibited to catch and keep a Spearfish in US Federal Waters and you can keep Sailfish 63 inches or larger http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/rec_info.htm
And yes spearfishing is a method of fishing. The fish have been doing it longer than humans have, but we came up with the name.....

What is the relationship between the size of the predator population and the size of the prey population?
Let's put it this way. Say you have a killerwhale and a penguin. Killerwhales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killerwhale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killerwhales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killerwhales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killerwhale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.
