Even though MahiMahi are native to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, I have yet seen them as a choice in any Japanese restaurants. A certified Sushi Chef (in Japan, a sushi chef must be certified) would have to deem them edible as raw fish before they can become used 'officially' as Sushi or Sashimi.
Mahi Mahi is a fish, but it is also called a dolphin fish. However IT IS NOT DOLPHIN.
Mahi-mahi is not tuna, but instead is another name for the dolphin fish. Mahi-mahi is not tuna, but instead is another name for the dolphin fish.

You need to go to a good fishmonger and request 'sushi grade' tuna. It will cost more than tuna you buy for cooking. Unless you have been trained on identifying sushi grade fish and know what parasites and imperfections to look for, leave it to the professionals. Another good source is to ask your local sushi shop where they buy their fish from.

Tuna Sushi
http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-grade-fish.htm I did a little quick googling. According to the site above, sushi grade tuna has been frozen at a particular temperature and for a particular period of time. This apparently kills any microbes.
Mahi mahi is a type of tuna. Tuna are large, carnivorous fish. Bottom feeders are fish or other animals that eat organic debris and waste, so tune fish are not considered bottom feeders.
The best answer I've found so far, was from when I worked in restaurants. The sushi we served was always fresh, real, and caught by local fisherman from around the world. Alas, all sushi is not made the same, I was told that the "block" sushi I saw at lower grade sushi establishments was made from the loose bits of tuna that are pasturized and molded into blocks. By the looks of it, this is what I suppose saku tuna is Edit: As far as I know Saku Tuna is yellowfined tuna that is labeled with Maguro, most often only used for labeling bluefin tuna. So you can call the tuna Maguro Tuna-Saku. I suppose it is a way to sell the cheaper yellowfin tuna to a higher price.

Because there are basically two types of what we westerners think of as 'tuna' in sushi, the lean cut of the fish, called 'akami' and the fattier part of the fish, cut from the belly region, called 'toro.' Tori is also graded up by the degree of fattiness, and can be referred to as 'toro,' 'chu-toro,' or 'o-toro.' More on this can be found at The Sushi FAQ at http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-items/sushi-items-tuna-maguro.htm"
Fresh raw mahi mahi is sometimes used in sushi rolls, so it is definitely possible to eat it when cooked rare. However, you want to be very sure of your source since such light cooking may not kill all the parasites that could be present. A safer approach is to cook mahi mahi to a medium rare/medium state.
