coryphaena hippurus is an economical edible fish with large yields. The fishing season from Kaohsiung to the eastern waters is from March to August, and the peak fishing season is around May; in the north, it is from late October to mid-February of the following year. Often made into salted fish, fish balls, fish steaks and other products for sale. It can be caught by trolling, gill nets, fixed nets and other fishing methods, and it is also the main species of trolling in sport fishing.

The United States and some Caribbean countries are major consumers of this fish, and in Australia and Japan it is often caught as a bycatch of tuna and swordfish. Such fish, represented by coryphaena hippurus and swordfish, often swim at a sudden acceleration. In order to meet this demand, they have a large number of white muscles that can release explosive power. These muscles are white in color and taste lighter than that of naked fish.
The coryphaena hippurus is agile and colorful, and naturally becomes the target of many sport fishing enthusiasts. Most saltwater fish also have beautiful body colors, but they seem dwarfed by the aggressive showiness of hippurus. Especially in the breeding season, the hippurus, who wanted to break free of the fishing line after being caught, kept struggling and twisting, and through the clear water, the whole body exuded a metallic phantom light.
