The blue trevally is a beautiful animal usually seen in small schools.  In ancient Hawaii, as said in a previous posting, the ulua of many species in the family were substituted for human sacrifice when humans were not available, according to Mary Pukui, the author of the Hawaiian Dictionary.
These fish are [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Blue Trevally In Blue Hawaii", url: "http://www.mauisnorkelingtrips.com/adventure-cruises/189-blue-trevally-in-blue-hawaii/" });</script>]]></description>

So the title of this posting probably grabbed your attention.  What?  Snakes in Hawaii?  We do not have sea snakes here, and there is a very small, blind ground snake that one rarely sees, but the beautiful snake eel does tend to get a visitor&#8217;s attention if seen by a snorkeler [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Snakes Of Hawaii", url: "http://www.mauisnorkelingtrips.com/adventure-cruises/187-snakes-of-hawaii/" });</script>]]></description>

Although Hawaii does not have the deadly stonefish, we do have this little endemic cutie, the turkeyfish.  Ancient Hawaiians called this one nohu pinao.  The word pinao means blurred vision, and nohu is the Tahitian name for the deadly stonefish.  It is possible the ancient travelers, not finding the stonefish here, [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Turkeys On The Reef", url: "http://www.mauisnorkelingtrips.com/adventure-cruises/183-turkeys-on-the-reef/" });</script>]]></description>

The ancient Hawaiians called the young of this fish aha aha, and the mature needlefish aha.  This author couldn&#8217;t find much on the importance of the needlefish, but surely it was eaten, and still is.
The flat needlefish is seen in worldwide tropical and temperate oceans including the east and west Atlantic oceans, [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ah, Aha Aha", url: "http://www.mauisnorkelingtrips.com/adventure-cruises/181-ah-aha-aha/" });</script>]]></description>

The ancient Hawaiians called this beautiful bird koa`e kea, (kea means white in Hawaiian).  The long tail tropicbird is breathtaking to watch in flight as it may plummet down to the ocean to retrieve a fish or squid at any time.
This bird was used for featherwork in ancient times, and the product [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Beauty In The Sky", url: "http://www.mauisnorkelingtrips.com/adventure-cruises/179-beauty-in-the-sky/" });</script>]]></description>
