Young fisherman with dolphinfish from Santorini, Greece, c. 1600 BCE (Minoan civilization). The mahi-mahi (/ ˌ m ɑː h i ˈ m ɑː h i / MAH-hee-MAH-hee) [3] or common dolphinfish [2] (Coryphaena hippurus) is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical, and subtropical waters worldwide.
The tatekiri nets are not used exclusively for dolphin fishing, but are a tool used to catch tuna and other fish. [15] Even in medieval Tsushima Island, there are documents that suggest that a large number of people were needed to dolphin fishing. A document written in 1404 contains the local lord's instructions for dolphin fishing. [16]
Once hooked, mahi-mahi are acrobatic game fish displaying spectacular blue, yellow and green colours. [6] A very different technique uses land based kites, instead of boats and rods, as the mechanism for delivering the terminal tackle at the end of a fishing line. This method has been used to catch mahi-mahi from cliff tops in Hawaii. [7]

The dolphins' reward is the fish that escape the nets. [112] [113] In Shark Bay, Australia, dolphins catch fish by trapping them in huge conch shells. [114] In "shelling", a dolphin brings the shell to the surface and shakes it, so that fish sheltering within fall into the dolphin's mouth.
The dolphins drive a school of fish towards the shore where humans await with their nets. In the confusion of casting nets, the dolphins catch a large number of fish as well. Intraspecific cooperative foraging techniques have also been observed, and some propose that these behaviours are transmitted through cultural means.
A single dolphin will swim in a circle around a group of fish, swiftly moving his tail along the sand to create a plume. [2] This creates a temporary net around the fish and they become disoriented. The fish begin jumping above the surface, so the dolphins can lunge through the plume and catch the fish.
Dolphin drive hunting, also called dolphin drive fishing, is a method of hunting dolphins and occasionally other small cetaceans by driving them together with boats, usually into a bay or onto a beach. Their escape is prevented by closing off the route to the open sea or ocean with boats and nets.
