Large Pelagic Fish in Captivity

[RatioTile]

I was wondering if there are the following large pelagic fish in captivity. I am aware that keeping them is a challenge, but there might be some successes, especially in Japan:

1) Mahi-mahi
2) Any billfish (swordfish, marlin, sailfish)
3) Wahoo, king mackerel
4) Ocean sunfish species besides Mola mola
5) Pelagic sharks
6) Opah

1) Mahi-mahi

Monterey Bay Aquarium has this species.

Are you including Whale Sharks and Manta Rays in this or no?

Also, not on your list but Monterey Bay Aquarium keeps tuna.

I've seen whale sharks, both manta rays, and 4-5 tuna species.

I'm pretty sure Monterey Bay has Pacific bluefin tuna.
