ʻO ka ʻīlio pike kai (Neoclinus blanchardi) no ka ʻohana Chenopsia, ke kauoha ʻo Perciformes. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui kahi lua waha nui, kahi e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā ia mai nā ʻano iʻa ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻolaha o ka ʻīlio pike kai.
Hiki ke loaʻa ka Pike Dog kokoke i nā wahi ākea o ka Pākīpika. Hoʻolahalaha kēia ʻano mai Kapalakiko Hema a i Cedros Island. Loaʻa ia i nā wai o Kaleponi a me Mexico.
Ke ʻano noho o ka ʻīlio pike kai.
Noho nā ʻīlio Pike i nā papa kai o lalo o ka ʻāina subtropical. Uhi lākou i ka hohonu mai ka ʻekolu a i ke kanahiku ʻekolu mika. I kekahi manawa, hele lākou i loko o ke kahakai ākea ma ke one a lepo paha o lalo ma lalo o ke kai haʻahaʻa. Ma ke ʻano he kūlana, noho nā iʻa i nā pūpū hāle ʻole, nā lua i haʻalele ʻia, nā māwae i nā pōhaku o ka wai a me nā kahawai. I kekahi mau wahi noho lākou i loko o nā ipu i hoʻolei ʻia ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana. ʻAneʻane ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻōmole pia i hoʻolei ʻia ma Santa Monica Bay kahi hoʻāno no nā ʻīlio pike.
He wahi palekana kēia ʻōpala no ka palekana o ka iʻa.
Nānā ʻole i ke ʻano o ka puʻuhonua, nā ʻīlio Pike kai e hoʻokumu i kahi niche i noho ʻia ma ko lākou home a pale ikaika i ka ʻāina mai nā poʻe komo hewa. ʻO ka nui o ka hale, ʻo ka nui ka iʻa.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi ʻīlio pike kai.
ʻO ka ʻīlio pike ka mea nui o nā fringehead āpau. Hiki iā 30 cm ke lōʻihi. Lōʻihi ke kino, lahilahi a kaomi ʻia. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona nui o ka ʻokoʻa kahi fin dorsal lōʻihi a me kahi "bang-appendage" wavy ma ke poʻo. He mea kupaianaha ka wehe ʻana o ka waha nui. Hoʻokumu ʻia ia e kahi iwi ākea lōʻihi lōʻihi, nā wēlau e hiki i nā kihi o ka operculum. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā auwaha me nā niho like me ka nila. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka waha i nā kāne ma mua o ka wahine. Holo ka fin dorsal lōʻihi mai ka occiput a i ka fin caudal poepoe. Hoʻonui ʻia ka fin anal mai ka wehe ʻana o ka excretory a hiki i ke kumu o ka fin caudal.
He mea kupanaha loa ke poʻo, ua hoʻopuni ʻia ka hopena o mua me nā lehelehe protruding. ʻO ke kala o ka ʻīlio pike kai ʻeleʻele a hina hina paha me nā wahi i hoʻololi ʻia o kahi ʻulaʻula a ʻōmaʻomaʻo paha. ʻAneʻane ʻaneʻane nā kāne ʻeleʻele me nā ā nunui i pena ʻia i melemele hinuhinu ma ka hope. Aia nā kiko keʻokeʻo ma nā ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia nā ʻokena ʻelua ma nā kui o ka fin dorsal, aia kekahi ma waena o nā aʻa mua a me ka lua, a ʻo ka lua ma kahi iki aʻe. Puni uliuli kēia mau wahi a he palena melemele ko lākou.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka ʻīlio pike kai.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau nā ʻīlio pike sila mai Ianuali a ʻAukake. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i nā hua i loko o kahi lua i haʻalele ʻia a i ʻole ma lalo o nā pōhaku. Liʻiliʻi nā hua manu, 0.9 a 1.5 milimika ka nui. ʻO kēlā me kēia hua manu e like me ka globule aila a pili i ka pūnana a me nā hua ʻē aʻe me nā pae kūikawā. Hoʻokahi ka wahine e waiho ma kahi o 3000 mau hua, nā kāne e kiaʻi i ka paʻa. Hōʻike ka larvae ma kahi o 3.0 mm ka lōʻihi. Noho nā ʻīlio Pike i ke kai no kahi o 6 mau makahiki.
Ka hana a ka ʻīlio pike kai.
ʻO nā ʻīlio Pike he iʻa kolohe e pale aku i ko lākou wahi huna mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana mai i nā ʻenemi, me ka nānā ʻole i ka nui. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa hoʻomaha lākou, e hōʻike wale nei i ko lākou mau poʻo i waho o ka uhi.
Ke lele kaua nā iʻa ʻē aʻe i ka ʻāina i noho ʻia, neʻe lākou i nā uhi o nā ʻaoʻao i nā ʻaoʻao, hāmama i ko lākou waha nui a hōʻike i nā niho kui.
I ka wā mua, hoʻohui wale nā ʻīlio i ka ʻenemi ma ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ko lākou mau ā. Inā ʻauʻau ka mea komo hewa kokoke i ka puʻuhonua, ʻauʻau koke ka ʻīlio pike i waho o ka puʻuhonua a pale aku i ka ʻāina.
Ke kū mai kekahi o ko lākou ʻano ponoʻī, hāmama ka iʻa i ko lākou waha a hoʻokokoke kekahi i kekahi. I ka manawa like, hoʻoholo lākou i kahi o lākou i ʻoi aku ka ikaika, a hiki ke koi i ka ʻāina i noho ʻia. Inā ʻaʻole hoʻoweliweli ka mea hoʻoweliweli i ka ʻenemi, a laila e hele a hoʻouka a hoʻohana ʻia nā niho ʻoi. E hōʻeha ka iʻa aggressive i nā mea āpau (me nā mea like) i ʻike ʻia i loko o ka pae i ʻike ʻia. Haʻalele mau kēia iʻa huhū i hope o ka manawa kūpono e komo i nā nila ʻoi loa i loko o ka ʻenemi, a huhū ʻia e ka mea komo i makemake ʻole ʻia o kahi mea ʻino, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokuʻu i kahi mea pio no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ua hōʻike pinepine ka poʻe Scuba divers i nā hoʻopiʻi i hōʻino ʻia ma muli o ka hopena o kēia mau iʻa grumpy. Eia nō naʻe, koe wale nō kahi hoʻouka kaua laha ʻole i nā kānaka e hoʻonāukiuki i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana, manaʻo ʻia nā ʻīlio pike he iʻa pōʻino ʻole. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, i kēia ala, pale pū nā ʻīlio pike kai i nā hua i kau ʻia.
ʻAno paʻakikī ka neʻe ʻana i nā ʻīlio pike. Hana ka dorsal a me ka fin fin i ka hui pū me nā ʻāpana pectoral a me ka huelo i ka neʻe ʻana i mua. ʻAʻau wikiwiki nā ʻīlio Pike a wikiwiki hoʻi, neʻe lōkō ma kahi mamao aku, e hoʻololi mau ana i ke ʻaoʻao. ʻAno maʻamau ka ʻauʻau mālie lōʻihi no kēia ʻano iʻa. Ma kahi o kaʻauʻau ʻana i ke poʻo i loko o ka lua, ʻau nā ʻīlio pike i loko me kā lākou huelo i mua o huli aʻe.
ʻAi o ka ʻīlio pike kai.
ʻO ka ʻīlio pike kai he predator omnivorous. Hoʻopau ʻo ia i ka meaʻai ma ke kaupaona he 13.6 mau manawa ka nui ma mua o ke kino o ka iʻa. Lele aku kēia mea hoʻohālua hoʻohālua mai kona puʻuhonua i mea e hopu ai i kāna mea pio a hopu me kāna mau nila nui - nā niho - he paheʻe, neʻe neʻe.
ʻO nā meaola a ka ʻīlio pīkī kai e makemake ai e ʻai i ka nāhelehele ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia. ʻO nā ʻano iʻa e pili kokoke ana, e like me nā tubeblennies a me nā flagblennies kāwili i nā ʻīlio, ʻike ʻia e hānai nui i nā crustaceans.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka ʻīlio pike kai.
ʻAʻole hoʻokomo ʻia ka pike sila i ka papa inoa ʻulaʻula o IUCN. ʻAʻole ʻike kēia laha i nā hoʻoweliweli, koe wale no ka hopena o ka haumia kai. ʻOiai ʻo ka iʻa o kēia nui e hiki ke lilo i māka no nā predators nui, hiki i ka paʻakai paʻakai e pale iā ia iho ke hoʻemi ʻia kēia pilikia.
