Since you were already in wikipedia, did you even LOOK for mahi-mahi, which
is where the discussion of the FISH called "dolphin" arose? If you had taken
that oh-so-simple step, you'd have seen that nancree was right:

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi-mahi

The Mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus), also known as dolphin, dolphin-fish, or
dorado, are surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore tropical and
subtropical waters world-wide. They are one of only two members of the
Coryphaenidae family, the other being the Pompano dolphinfish. The name
"mahi-mahi" ("strong-strong" in Hawaiian), particularly on restaurant menus,
has been adopted in recent years to avoid confusing these fish with
dolphins, members of the porpoise family, which are mammals.
