The mahi-mahi (/ ˌ m ɑː h i ˈ m ɑː h i / MAH-hee-MAH-hee) [3] or common dolphinfish [2] (Coryphaena hippurus) is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical, and subtropical waters worldwide.
The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands include many atolls, and reefs. Due to Hawaii's isolation 30% of the fish are endemic (unique to the island chain). [1] The Hawaiian Islands comprise 137 islands and atolls, with a land area of 6,423.4 square miles (16,636.5 km 2). [2]

The pompano dolphinfish (Coryphaena equiselis) is a species of surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in tropical and subtropical waters. They are one of only two members of the family Coryphaenidae, the other being the mahi-mahi or common dolphinfish. [2] Pompano dolphinfish have a lifespan of three to four years.
