FlaSoxxJim Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, the Hawaiian reef trigger fish, has only the second longest name for a Hawaiian fish. It means "triggerfish with a snout like a pig", which is pretty cool I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just smelt fishing from the seawall at Burnham Harbor in the Winter back when I lived in Chicago. Good times, good eats, and considerable drunkenness as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Krill was the lifeblood of Moby Dick. Captain Ahab, not so much. (P.S. have heard great stories from older family members about smelting in Chicago in years past; Manny's still serves a big pile of it fried up on Fridays).

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Lifeblood not so much for an Odontocete such as Physeter macrocephalus. Sperm whales are more into biger prey like Architeuthis (giant squids), and they leave the krill to the Mysticetes, aka the baleen whales. I can add first-hand accounts to the unreal communal experience that was winter smeltfishing in Chicago. Some nights it was eclectic enough to be our own little Burning Man festival.

Semelparity is a "spawn and die" strategy common to several salmonid fishes as well and certain eels in the family Anguilidae. Sox out west makes late nights for me staying awake for the games.

Pants Rowland Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Unicorn fish roam in groups feeding on algae. The horn-like appendage between their eyes begins growing when a young fish reaches about 13 cm (5 in) in length, and tends to be a little bigger on males. They are generally not aggressive to each other, but when they do fight they use sharp scalpels by their tails, not their horns, as weapons.
