Mahi-Mahi Fish: Appearance, Habitat, and Facts | Marine Life Guide #3647465 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed illustration depicts a mature mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus), highlighting its elongated body, blunt forehead, and distinctive coloration: electric blue along the back fading to golden-yellow on the sides, dotted with dark blue spots. The fish’s large dorsal fin extends nearly the full length of its body, and its forked caudal fin aids in rapid swimming. Mahi-mahi are pelagic, found in warm offshore waters worldwide, and prized both as game fish and for their firm, mild-flavored flesh.
