Atlantic Wahoo

Only about 10 percent of the U.S. harvest of wahoo comes from the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, where the recreational fishery for this species is more dominant. While wahoo is believed to be abundant and can support a high rate of harvest, managers have adopted a precautionary approach to managing these fisheries.

Pacific Wahoo

Most wahoo in the U.S. market is harvested in the Pacific and landed in Hawaii, where the fish is called “ono,” meaning “good to eat.” No regulations currently apply to wahoo specifically – their biology makes them resilient to fishing pressure and catch trends have so far indicated that they are sustainable.
