1. sea animal related to whales: an intelligent marine mammal (cetacean) that resembles a large fish and has teeth and a snout similar to a beak. Found almost worldwide, dolphins are related to whales but are smaller. Family Delphinidae.
2. large marine game fish: a large sea fish of the perch family, popular as a game fish, that has a long dorsal fin, high blunt forehead, and a brilliant green, blue, and yellow body. Latin name Coryphaena hippurusCoryphaena equisetis. Also called dolphinfish Also called dorado | Yes yes, but the fellow was obviously referring to the Sea World trained dolphins which are in fact mammals and therefore not at all a fish and hence not relative to this discussion of fish-jumping.
