HOW DO I IDENTIFY A DOLPHIN?
Many offshore anglers do not know there are two species of dolphinfish that can occur in US territorial waters. The pompano dolphin is largely a mystery fish to both anglers and scientists. We do know that it is a much smaller species and that it prefers warmer waters than the common dolphinfish. Its occurrence in U.S. waters is largely unknown. Using photographs of the two species, this article will show you an easy way to distinguish the two. Anglers are being asked to report catches of pompano dolphin with photographic documentation to help science learn more about these miniature dolphinfish.
