Mahimahi - pole and troll caught
Fast-growing, short-lived species, Mahimahi potentially can withstand high fishing pressure. Pole- or troll-caught are better than longline-caught because fewer unintended fish and marine mammals are taken, and there is no problem of seabird and marine turtle bycatch.

Mahimahi - longline caught
With a life history strategy with high potential for resilience to fishing pressure, supply of Mahimahi to the U.S. marketplace is primarily imports from modern industrial distant-water pelagic longline fleets from Asia and from coastal longline fleets from the eastern tropical Pacific. Bycatch of marine turtles and seabirds is a concern. Pirate pelagic longline vessels, flying flags of convenience, with many owners based in Taiwan, is a large concern. Little is known about Mahimahi abundance status and trends.
