See there, if you're not careful you'll learn something new everyday. I did not know there were fresh water dorado. That's what they call mahi mahi in some places. I've caught those. Freshly caught mahi is a tasty treat.
Freshwater Dorado (also known as Golden Dorado) is a different animal. Crazy jumper and grows to 50 lbs.
From Wikipedia: Salminus brasiliensis (dourado, dorado, golden dorado, river tiger or jaw characin) is a large, predatory characiform freshwater fish found in central and east-central South America.[1] Despite having Salminus in its name, the dorado is not related to any species of salmon,[2] nor to the saltwater fish also called dorado. It is very popular among recreational anglers and supports large commercial fisheries.[3]
