Coryphaena equiselis Linnaeus 1758
Description
Coryphaena equiselis Linnaeus, 1758.
Pompano Dolphinfish. To 207 cm (83 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983), or only to 127 cm (50 in) in (Robertson and Allen 2008). Not always correctly distinguished from Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758, and the larger sizes reported likely are from that species. Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Sea of Japan (Parin 2003); 43 Fathom Bank, southern California (about 32°39.3’N, 117°58.3’W) (Walker et al. 2020) to at least Ecuador (Béarez 1996), including south-western Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2002). Depth: Surface to 50 m (164 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Robertson and Allen 2008).
