The mahimahi ()〔(Dictionary.com: define Mahi-mahi )〕 or common dolphinfish〔 (''Coryphaena hippurus'') is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Also known widely as dorado and dolphin, it is one of two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the pompano dolphinfish. The name mahimahi means ''very strong'' in Hawaiian. In other languages, the fish is known as dorade coryphène, dorado, dolphin, lampuga, llampuga, lampuka, lampuki, rakingo, calitos, ti-rone or maverikos. == Nomenclature == The common English name of ''dolphin'' causes much confusion. Additionally, two species of dolphinfish exist, the common dolphinfish (''Coryphaena hippurus'') and the pompano dolphinfish (''Coryphaena equiselis''). Both these species are commonly marketed by their Pacific name, mahi-mahi. The fish is called mahi-mahi in the Hawaiian language, and "mahi mahi" is commonly used elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Common names of ''Coryphaena hippurus'' )〕 In the Pacific and along the English speaking coast of South Africa they are also commonly called by the Spanish name, Dorado . In the Mediterranean island of Malta, this fish is referred to as the lampuka.〔Maltese cuisine〕 Linnaeus named the genus, derived from the Greek word, κορυφή, ''koryphe'', meaning top or apex, in 1758. Synonyms for the species include ''Coryphaena argyrurus'', ''Coryphaena chrysurus'' and ''Coryphaena dolfyn''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=6 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahi-mahi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
