Species Overview

The mahi-mahi, also known as dorado or dolphinfish, is among the most colorful pelagic fish in the ocean. Its iridescent blue, green, and gold body fades rapidly after death. It is a fast-growing species, rarely living beyond five years.

Spotted Seatrout

The spotted seatrout, despite its name, is a member of the drum family, not the trout family. It inhabits grass flats and estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Males produce a distinctive drumming sound to attract females.
