Etrumeus Makiawa

	Etrumeus Makiawa ''Etrumeus makiawa'', or the Hawaiian red-eye round herring, is a round-herring that occurs in the Hawaiian Islands. Taxonomy ''E. makiawa'' was originally identified as ''Etrumeus micropus ''Etrumeus micropus'' is a species of round-herring that occurs in the western Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern ...'', but DNA analysis by Randall and DiBattista (2012) concluded that Hawaiian ''Etrumeus'' should be recognized as a distinct species, resulting in its being named after the Hawaiian name for round herrings, makiawa.

picture info	Hawaiian Islands 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 (includin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Etrumeus Micropus ''Etrumeus micropus'' is a species of round-herring that occurs in the western Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south, and is bounded by the continen .... Taxonomy ''Etrumeus micropus'' was treated as a junior synonym of '' E. teres'' by Whitehead (1985), who nonetheless suggested that ''E. teres'' might be divisible into species or subspecies. Randall (2007) recognized ''Etrumeus micropus'' as a valid species from Japan, Korea, and the Hawaiian Islands, while noting that DNA testing might render the Hawaiian population distinct from the East Asian populations. Subsequent DNA analysis by Randall and DiBattista (2012) showed that the Hawaiian population of ''Etrumeus micropus'' is distinct species, which the authors named '' Etrumeus makiawa''.

	Clupeiformes Clupeiformes is the order of Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish that includes the herring family, Clupeidae, and the anchovy family, Engraulidae. The group includes many of the most important Forage fish, forage and food fish. Clupeiformes are physostomes, which means that their gas bladder has a pneumatic duct connecting it to the Gut (zoology), gut. They typically lack a lateral line, but still have the eyes, Fish fin, fins and Fish scale, scales that are common to most fish, though not all fish have these attributes. They are generally silvery fish with streamlined, spindle-shaped, bodies, and they often Shoaling and schooling, school. Most species eat plankton which they filter from the water with their gill rakers. The former order of Isospondyli was subsumed mostly by Clupeiformes, but some isospondylous fishes (isospondyls) were assigned to Osteoglossiformes, Salmoniformes, Cetomimiformes, etc. Families The order includes about 405 species in seven families: * Order Clup ...

picture info	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 ...
