ʻO ke Kai ʻeleʻele kekahi o nā kai kuaʻāina nui a kaulana hoʻi i ka honua. Aia kēia ma waena o ʻEulopa Hikina a me ʻAkia Komohana, ʻo kēia kaʻe o ka Moana ʻAkelanika ka moʻolelo kahiko loa. Hōʻike ka inoa i kahi ʻano maikaʻi ʻole a me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻano ʻē. ʻO ke ʻano ʻaʻohe oxygen o ke kai kai ʻeleʻele, ma muli o ka lohi o ke kaʻina hana o ka decomposition i nā papa o lalo, ua ulu pū kekahi i nā lono weliweli, me ka hoʻohui pū ʻana i ka pua puaʻa i ke kaulana kaumaha o ke kai.
ʻAkalakupā kai ʻeleʻele
I ke Kai ʻEleʻele, hōʻike ʻia e ʻelua subspecies. Noho kokoke kekahi i kahakai, liʻiliʻi ka nui, hopu pinepine nā lawaiʻa iā ia me nā koʻokoʻa lawaiʻa. Ua makemake kekahi i kahi hohonu a hiki i nā puke paʻa. ʻO Scorpena kahi iʻa me nā peʻa i haʻi ʻia a voluminous, nā ulu he nui ma ke kino a me ka waha nui. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona nui nā gona ʻona ma ke kumu o nā fin a me nā uhi o nā ʻiʻo, a ikaika ka lāʻau make, pili ia i ka poʻe me nā maʻi āpau, nā pilikia me nā ʻōnaehana vascular a me nā ʻōnaehana hanu.
Deragona kai
Hūnā ia ma nā kapakai o ke kai ʻEleʻele, hoʻouka i ka poʻe mai lalo o ke kai, kahi e kanu ai iā ia iho i ke one. ʻO nā maka wale nō ma luna o ka ʻili o lalo, nānā ka iʻa i ka poʻe eʻauʻau ana i ka mea make a ʻai. Hoʻāʻo ka poʻe e hopu me ko lākou mau lima lima ʻole, no ka mea i ka helehelena ke nānā aku ka deragona me he gobies lā. Kaulana ka iʻa no kāna spine ʻawahia e hiki ai ke hōʻeha i nā kānaka. Ma muli o ke kākalaioa a me ka lāʻau make ikaika, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka iʻa me kekahi o nā mea ʻawahia loa i ke Kai ʻEleʻele.
Kai kauō a i ʻole hōkū hōkū
ʻO 20-25 knm ka lōʻihi, akā i nā hihia kūikawā hiki i 40 cm me ke kaumaha o 900 g. Ma ke poʻo o ke poʻo he mau maka liʻiliʻi me nā haumāna i pale ʻia e kahi uhi mālamalama, kahi waha nui e hāmama ana me nā lālani o nā niho i kūlou i loko e hoʻopaʻa i nā mea i hōʻeha ʻia. Pale ʻia ke poʻo hāliʻi e nā pā iwi ʻehā. ʻElua mau kākalaioa make ʻino ma hope o ke gillbone i lāʻau make i nā lawaiʻa he nui, ka mea e kāʻili wale me ka mālama ʻole i ka hōkū mai ka makau.
Kai pōpoki (maʻamau stingray)
Noho ʻo Stingrays i kahi wai pāpaʻu a hiki i 50-60 m ka hohonu. Makemake lākou i ke kai one, lepo a pōhaku paha, kahi e hoʻopuni ai lākou i nā papa pōhaku e hoʻopuni ʻia e ka lepo maʻemaʻe. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ke stingray i nā hui liʻiliʻi a i ʻole i hoʻokahi manawa, i ka wā ʻōpio, ʻai ʻo ia i ka poʻe noho kai liʻiliʻi o ka lalo, ʻeli i nā sediment o lalo, ʻeli i nā mea ola mai nā hale hoʻomalu, ʻohiʻohi iʻa i make a pala. Ke hele a makua ʻo ia i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka iʻa liʻiliʻi, hōʻole i nā crustacea a me nā invertebrates.
Panina hopena
Aia kekahi mau ʻano iʻa i loko o ke Kai ʻEleʻele, no ka mea liʻiliʻi ka oxygen i loko o ka wai. ʻAʻole maikaʻi kēia no ka lawaiʻa, ʻaʻole wale i nā meaola o ke ola wai. A i waena o nā ʻano laha ʻole i hoʻopili i ke ola i ka wai oxygen haʻahaʻa, aia kekahi mau ʻano iʻa ʻona. ʻAʻole paha e make ke kanaka makua ma hope o ka launa ʻana me nā ʻelele o ka wai ʻona aqua, akā ʻoluʻolu iki hoʻi mai ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole o nā neurotoxins o ka iʻa ʻEleʻele.
