A genus of large, colorful fish found in tropical and subtropical ocean waters, commonly known as mahi-mahi or dolphinfish.
From Greek koryphē meaning 'head,' referring to the prominent head or frontal crest of these fish. The scientific genus name was established in ichthyology.
Mahi-mahi fish are named after their distinctive head shape, but here's the wild part: they're not dolphins at all despite being called 'dolphinfish'—they're actually jacks, and they can change colors rapidly when excited!
