They are often mistaken for juvenile mahi-mahi; they are somewhat smaller than their mahi-mahi cousins, only reaching a maximum length of TL. Pompano dolphinfish have compressed heads and dorsal fins extending the entire length of their bodies. Their backs are a brilliant blue-green, and their sides are a silvery-golden color. Mature males develop a protruding forehead, but not to the same extent as male mahi-mahi. When they are removed from the water, the fish fade to a muted green-grey upon death.
