Dear Mike:

No.

Fish and mammals are taxonomically distinct and seperate. You are _very_
mistaken on this.

I question your reference: "Dorado." Does he/she/they/it make a distinction
between air breathing and gilled creatures? Set aside internal thermal
regulation of respiratory systems..

Dolphins belong to a large family of aquatic mammals that are _not_ fish.

Is a whale a fish?

Kind Regards,

Rand
