Exotic Fishes Hawaii Pacific Tropical Brachypterus Malolo
EDITORS COMMENTS
Malolo Puhiki i, or the Flying Fish of Hawaii (Parexocoetus brachypterus), is a stunningly beautiful and exotic marine creature that has captivated the imagination of people for centuries. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the grace and agility of this tropical fish as it leaps out of the Pacific Ocean, displaying its large, wing-like pectoral fins. The Malolo Puhiki i, also known as the Flying Gar, is a type of garfish that is native to the waters of the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii and other tropical regions. These fish are characterized by their long, slender bodies and large, wing-like pectoral fins, which they use to propel themselves out of the water and glide through the air for short distances. The history of the Malolo Puhiki i in Hawaiian culture is rich and fascinating. Ancient Hawaiians revered these fish as symbols of strength, agility, and the power of the ocean. They believed that the fish possessed magical powers and that eating them could bring good luck and protection. Today, the Malolo Puhiki i remains an important part of Hawaiian heritage and is a popular subject for artists, photographers, and marine biologists. This photograph, with its vivid colors and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the enduring allure of these magnificent creatures and the beauty of the natural world around us.
