Species Overview

シイラ

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.

Northern Pike

The northern pike is an apex predator of freshwater lakes and rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. With its elongated body, duck-bill snout, and razor-sharp teeth, it ambushes prey with explosive bursts of speed.
