What is Wahoo?

Wahoo is a type of edible fish originally in tropical and subtropical coastal areas around the world. It is awarded for fragile white meat and is a popular sport fishing. The fish is also known as it , which means "delicious" in the Hawaiian Islands. Wahoo are the largest mackerel and can reach a weight of 8 feet (2.5 m) and £ 180 (83 kg). They grow very fast - one specimen received £ 22 (almost 10 kg) in one year - and believe it is well tolerated by fishing; However, the Wahoo population was not well explored. This, along with their valuable taste, is a relatively rare delicacy. All Wahoo are modified. Some are obtained as a secondary catch in other fishing operations and others are caught by sports fishermen, usually a snack and a line or a long line.

Longline fishing can result in a secondary catch of other species, so it is not the most ecormally sound method of fishing. Monterrey Bay Aquarium's seafood monitoring lists Wahoo as a good choice but withTani that further research is required to determine the effect of fishing methods on this species. The institute for fish and wilderness research is currently studying the population of these fish in Florida.

Wahoo can also pose a health problem due to the level of mercury in fish. Like tuna, it is a predatory species, with a diet consisting mainly of smaller fish and octopus. Therefore, there are many toxins in the fish in the fish and can pose a health risk to people. Environmental defense was issued against Wahoo against Wahoo. According to their website, adults can safely eat this fish twice a month, while children can be one meal every month without health risk.
