Kyphosus Hawaiiensis
The Hawaiian chub (''Kyphosus hawaiiensis''), also known as the insular rudderfish or bicolor chub, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea chub belonging to the family Kyphosidae. This species is found in the Central Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy The Hawaiian chub was first formally described in 2004 by the Japanese marine biologists Keiichi Sakai and Tetsuji Nakabo with the type locality given as Kaupoa on Molokai Island in the Hawaiian Islands. This species was previously thought to be possibly conspecific with the brown chub ('' K. bigibbus'') but that species does not occur in the Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian chub and the brown chub differ in their morphologies. Another species, the gray chub ('' Kyphosus pacificus''), which was also formerly considered to be within the brown chub was described at the same time but it is a more widespread species than the Hawaiian chub. Description The Hawaiian chub, is similar to the gray chub but differs in color. It is a similar b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
