ABOUT THE
FISH
This fish
is very prolific, growing very fast in its first year of life.
They reach maturity at 6 months of age and are able to
reproduce when they reach this age. They live to be about 5
years old and can reach a size of 90
pounds.  Females can spawn 3 times a year and produce up
to a million eggs each time. Dolphin will feed on almost
anything they can chase down and catch. They primarily
feed in the daylight hours. Due to recent advancements in
larval rearing research, dolphin aquaculture presents
a potentially lucrative and abundant source of food for
humans, and reduces the chance of commercial and sport
over fishing in the wild. Because of their rapid growth they are
often raised in captivity as a food source. In captivity
they grow slower than in the wild. They consume such
massive amounts of food that aquaculture has not
been as profitable compared to other species of fish.
Dolphin is low in saturated fat and is a good source of
vitamin B12, phosphorus, and potassium and a very good
source of protein, niacin, vitamin B6, and selenium. For
more on nutrition, see Mahi Nutrition
Facts. . Globally,
about 80 million pounds of Dolphin are consumed
annually

Dolphin in the
Ocean
Dolphin fish are apex
predators, this means they feed high on the food chain
while having only a few predators. These fish are abundant and
wide ranging throughout the tropical and subtropical oceans.
They support important commercial and recreational fisheries
around the world. Dolphin fish are also a large component of
the bycatch of the tuna purse-seine and longline fisheries in
the Pacific. They are commonly found near natural and
artificial floating objects, such as sea weed piles, and
debris, a trait which facilitates their capture.
Larger males seem to prefer open ocean habitat while females
and smaller males remain associated with Sargasso (in
the Atlantic) and floating debris. It has been theorized that
males are more active feeders than females and are
substantially heavier, so a greater amount of food is required
to sustain their metabolism, leading to more voracious
feeding. The open ocean habitat provides larger prey for
the larger male dolphin fish.
Fishing for Mahi
Fisherman around the world value these
golden gems. They are prized for the fantastic display of leaps
and jumps after being hooked. The Spanish name for these fish,
Dorado, translates into English as Gold. The light tackles
 enthusiast can find great satisfaction from
battling even a small fish. Large fish (over 50 pounds)
can match strengths with almost any angler. Battling a
large Dolphin can sometimes take 2 hours to land on
lighter tackle. They are relatively easy to catch once
located. Locating schools of these green and gold athletes
is as simple as looking for the 3 B' s. Birds, Boards, and
Boats. Birds- find a flock of birds feeding in warm deep
blue ocean depths and you have probably found a school of
them. Boards - anything floating in the water such as a
pallet or Bamboo log will lead you to a school of fish.
 These fish have an affinity for floating
objects. Boats- other boats sitting and drifting may be in
a school of fish. Be kind and don't crowd the other boat
but get close enough to get in on the action. More on
