Diagnostic Description
provided by Fishbase
Body elongated and compressed, its depth contained less than 4.0 times in standard length (adults); tongue with a wide tooth patch covering 50 to 60 percent of its surface; dorsal fin originating on nape, almost reaching caudal fin, with 48 to 55 rays; anterior distal edge of anal fin convex; pectoral fins located near middle of head; body shiny blue green, changing to gray with green tints after death; flanks with golden highlights and numerous diffuse black stains (Ref. 55763). Greatest body depth more than 25% of SL; tooth patch on tongue broad and square; single dorsal fin extending from just behind eye almost to caudal fin, with 52-59 rays; a convex anal fin extending from anus almost to caudal fin; pectoral fin about half of head length (Ref. 10948). Caudal vertebrae usually 20. (Ref. 10998). Color in life brilliant metallic blue-green dorsally, fading to grey with green tinge upon death; sides silvery with golden sheen and spots; dorsal fin dark; juveniles with entire caudal fin margin white. Head profile of large adults (30-200 cm.) becomes vertical with the development of bony crest, but more in males.

Migration
provided by Fishbase
Oceanodromous. Migrating within oceans typically between spawning and different feeding areas, as tunas do. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.
Biology
provided by Fishbase
Primarily an oceanic species but may enter coastal waters (Ref. 9293). Usually forms schools. Follows boats and may be found under floating objects (Ref. 9293). Feeds on small fishes and squid (Ref. 9293). Eggs and larvae are pelagic (Ref. 6755). Marketed fresh and considered an excellent food fish (Ref. 5288). An important game fish in northern South America (Ref. 5217).

分布
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
廣泛分布於各大海洋之熱帶及亞熱帶區海域。台灣各地海域及離島均產，但以東部海域較多。
利用
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
高雄至東部海域之漁訊期為3-8月，盛漁期為5月左右；北部為10月下旬至翌年2月中旬。為食用魚，產量大，常製成鹽漬魚、魚丸、魚排等製品。可以曳繩釣，流刺網、定置網漁獲，亦是遊釣中拖釣之主要漁獲魚種。
描述
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
體延長側扁，前部高大，向後漸變細。與鬼頭刀極為相似，但可從下列差異予以區別：本種魚體型較小，背、腹側輪廓圓(vs
幾近直線)；胸鰭長約頭長之一半(vs
大於頭長之一半)；身體最高處在體中央(vs
在腹鰭起點處)；背鰭數48-59(vs 55-67)等
棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
為大洋性迴游魚類，常可發現成群於開放水域，但也偶而發現於沿岸水域。一般棲息於海洋表層，喜生活於陰影下，故常可發現成群聚集於流木或浮藻處的下面。晝行性，性貪食，常追捕飛魚及沙丁類等表層魚類，有時會跳出水面捕食。
Pompano dolphinfish
provided by wikipedia EN
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. They are often mistaken for juvenile mahi-mahi; they are somewhat smaller than the related mahi-mahi, only reaching a maximum total length of 127 cm (50 in). Pompano dolphinfish have compressed heads and dorsal fins extending the entire length of their bodies. Mature males develop a protruding forehead, but not to the same extent as male mahi-mahi. Their backs are a brilliant blue-green, and their sides are a silvery-golden color. When they are removed from the water, the fish fade to a muted green-grey upon death.[2]
Despite the similar names, this fish is not related to the marine mammals also known as dolphins (family Delphinidae). See Coryphaena for the possible etymologies of "dolphinfish".
Pompano dolphinfish are carnivorous, feeding primarily on small fish and squid.[2]
Pompano dolphinfish are popular as a game fish in the waters off South America, and are sometimes eaten as a substitute for swordfish because of their firm texture and sweet flavour.
