Yes. Mahi-mahi (Coryphaena spp.) is on the SIMP species list. Importers must collect and report harvest event data — including vessel, flag state, fishing area, and gear type — and submit it through the ACE system at the time of entry. Non-compliance can result in shipment refusal.
The FDA-approved market name for Coryphaena spp. in the US is 'mahi-mahi' or 'dolphin fish.' Using the term 'dolphin' alone on retail packaging can cause consumer confusion with marine mammals and may be flagged as misleading labeling. Commercial invoices and retail labels should use 'mahi-mahi' or 'dolphin fish (mahi-mahi)' to ensure clarity.
