Some expert would be better qualified to address this, but it was left
uncorrected in an earlier net discussion. I have seen a fish in a tank
labelled "Mahi-Mahi" in the Honolulu Aquarium. The common English name for
Mahi-Mahi is "Dolphin-fish." The fish in question was less than a foot long
and looked like the deep sea fish which have bulging eyes and a giant toothy
mouth. The common english name is probably responsible for the
misunderstanding that Mahi-Mahi is the same as Dolphin. This may also,
however, cause some restaurants to sell dolphin under a false name so as not
to offend those who would rather not eat mammals.
