Homonym: dolphin fish (Mahi-Mahi)
The term "dolphin fish" refers to two species: the mahi-mahi and the dorado. These colorful fish are known for their vibrant blue and yellow hues and are commonly found in warm ocean waters. They are popular among anglers due to their fast swimming and acrobatic leaps when caught.
Dolphin fish are carnivorous, primarily feeding on smaller fish and squid. They can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh over 50 pounds. Their rapid growth and high reproductive rates make them a sustainable choice for fishing, contributing to their popularity in both commercial and recreational fishing industries.
