Hawaiian Archipelago
The Hawaiian Islands ( haw, Nā Mokupuni o Hawai‘i) are an archipelago of eight major islands, several atolls, and numerous smaller islets in the North Pacific Ocean, extending some from the island of Hawaii in the south to northernmost Kure Atoll. Formerly the group was known to Europeans and Americans as the Sandwich Islands, a name that James Cook chose in honor of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, the then First Lord of the Admiralty. Cook came across the islands by chance when crossing the Pacific Ocean on his Third Voyage in 1778, on board HMS ''Resolution''; he was later killed on the islands on a return visit. The contemporary name of the islands, dating from the 1840s, is derived from the name of the largest island, Hawaii Island. Hawaii sits on the Pacific Plate and is the only U.S. state that is not geographically connected to North America. It is part of the Polynesia subregion of Oceania. The state of Hawaii occupies the archipelago almost in its entirety (including ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Johnston Island
Johnston Atoll is an unincorporated territory of the United States, currently administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Johnston Atoll is a National Wildlife Refuge and part of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. It is closed to public entry, and limited access for management needs is only granted by Letter of Authorization from the United States Air Force and a Special Use Permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For nearly 70 years, the isolated atoll was under the control of the U.S. military. During that time, it was variously used as a naval refueling depot, an airbase, a testing site for nuclear and biological weapons, a secret missile base, and a site for the storage and disposal of chemical weapons and Agent Orange. Those activities left the area environmentally contaminated, and monitoring continues. The island is home to thriving communities of nesting seabirds and has significant marine biodiversity.

Hawaiian Language
Hawaiian (', ) is a Polynesian language of the Austronesian language family that takes its name from Hawaii, the largest island in the tropical North Pacific archipelago where it developed. Hawaiian, along with English, is an official language of the US state of Hawaii. King Kamehameha III established the first Hawaiian-language constitution in 1839 and 1840. For various reasons, including territorial legislation establishing English as the official language in schools, the number of native speakers of Hawaiian gradually decreased during the period from the 1830s to the 1950s. Hawaiian was essentially displaced by English on six of seven inhabited islands. In 2001, native speakers of Hawaiian amounted to less than 0.1% of the statewide population. Linguists were unsure if Hawaiian and other endangered languages would survive. Nevertheless, from around 1949 to the present day, there has been a gradual increase in attention to and promotion of the language. Public Hawaiian-langua ...

Pristipomoides Zonatus
''Pristipomoides'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lutjanidae, the snappers. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. Taxonomy ''Pristipomoides'' was created by the Dutch ichthyologist, herpetologist and physician Pieter Bleeker in 1852 as a monotypic genus with ''Pristipomoides typus'' as its only species, this species therefore being the type species of the genus. The generic name is a compound of ''Pristipoma'' with the suffix ''oides'' which means "like". At the time Bleeker coined the name he though ''P. typus'' was more closely related to and in the same family as the genus ''Pristipoma'', this taxon is now regarded as a synonym of the grunt genus ''Pomadasys'' in the family Haemulidae. There are two subgenera which are recognised by some authorities and 11 currently recognised species in this genus are: * Subgenus ''Pristipomoides'' Bleeker, 1852 ** ''Pristipomoides auricilla'' (D. S. Jordan, Evermann & Valenci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Epinephelus Quernus
The Hawaiian grouper (''Hyporthodus quernus''), also known as the Hawaiian black grouper, Seale's grouper or Hapuʻupuʻu, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is endemic to Hawaii. Taxonomy The Hawaiian grouper was first formally described in 1901 as ''Epinephelus quernus'' by the American ichthyologist Alvin Seale (1871-1958) with the type locality given as Honolulu. It was formerly considered to be in the genus ''Epinephelus'' but is now considered to belong to the genus ''Hyporthodus''. The specific name ''quernus'' means "oaken", presumably a reference to its reddish colour as an adult. Description The Hawaiian grouper has a body which has a standard length that is 2.3 to 2.7 times its depth. It has an angular preopercle which has 3-4 enlarged serrations at its angle, with the lowest pointing downwards. The upper margin of the gi ...

Pristipomoides Sieboldii
''Pristipomoides sieboldii'', the lavender jobfish, lavender snapper or von Siebold’s snapper, is a species of ray-finned fish, which is a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Pristipomoides multidens'' was first formally described in 1871 as ''Chaetopterus sieboldii'' by the Dutch ichthyologist, herpetologist and physician Pieter Bleeker in with its type locality given as Nagasaki. Bleeker did not specify who he was honouring in the specific name but it is thought likely to have been German physician and traveller, Philipp Franz von Siebold, who collected many fishes as specimens which were then described in the monograph series, ''Fauna Japonica'', published by the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden between 1833 and 1850. Description ''Pristipomoides sieboldii'' has an elongated, robust body which has a depth of roughly 30–40% of its standard length. The space between the eyes is fl ...

Etelis Coruscans
''Etelis'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lutjanidae, the snappers. They are mostly native to the Indian and Pacific oceans with one species ''(E. oculatus)'' native to the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Etelis'' was named by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier in 1830 with ''Etelis carbunculus'' as its only species and, therefore, its type species. The name of the genus was taken from Aristotle by Cuvier, who said that Aristotle had used it for a fish he did not give a description for. The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Etelis boweni'' Andrews, Fernandez-Silva, Randall & H.-C. Ho, 2021 (Bowen’s snapper) * ''Etelis carbunculus'' G. Cuvier, 1828 (deep-water red snapper) * '' Etelis coruscans'' Valenciennes, 1862 (deepwater longtail red snapper) * '' Etelis oculatus'' (Valenciennes, 1828) (queen snapper) * '' Etelis radiosus'' W. D. Anderson, 1981 (pale snapper) Characteristics ''Etelis'' snappers are medium sized ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fish Of Hawaii
Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts. The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods. Most fis ...
