MAHI MAHI

Coryphaena hippurus

Mahi mahi, also commonly called dolphinfish or dorado, have a very distinct bright yellow-green coloration with a blunt, square head and dorsal fin running the entire length of their body. They can grow up to a maximum of 2 meters, but are most commonly between 0.5-1 meter long. Mahi mahi are typically found offshore underneath floating objects (such as boats, debris, or large patches of seagrass) throughout tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The IUCN Red List lists mahi mahi as least concern.
