Resembling or related to the mahi-mahi or fish of the Coryphaena genus in appearance or characteristics.
From Coryphaena plus the Greek suffix -oid meaning 'resembling' or 'like.' Used in ichthyology to describe similar or related fish.
When scientists use '-oid' to describe something, they're saying 'it looks or acts like this'—so coryphaenoid fish might not be mahi-mahi, but they share similar features like that distinctive head shape!
