Dolphin is a common name for two large, spinyfinned fishes, especially the brilliently colored common dolphin, which is noted as a food and game fish.

    Male dolphins may grow to a length of more than 1.5 m (5ft) and may reach a weight of over 27 kgs (60 lb). Because of their long continous dorsal fins, dolphin fish are readily distinguishable from the aquatic mammals also referred to as dolphins. Gregarious and lively, these fish are widely distributed in temperate and tropical waters and often accompany ships for considerable distances.
