    What is a mahimahi fish?
     
  1. Spawning
    These fish begin breeding when they reach four or five months old. In tropical regions these fish breed year-round. They reproduce via spawning, where the females release their eggs and the males fertilize them outside of the body. A single female can produce up to a million eggs. The adults do not protect the eggs or larval young in any way.
