Short description: Species of fish in the genus Kuhlia found in the Hawaiian Islands
The Hawaiian flagtails are species of the genus of flagtail fishes found in the Hawaiian Islands. Two species are Kuhlia sandvicensis[1] and K. xenura.[2] K. xenura is endemic to the islands.
In the Hawaiian language, āholehole refers to the young stage,[3] and āhole the mature fish. It was sometimes called puaʻa kai, literally "sea pig".[4] Keahole Point and the Kona International Airport located there are named for the fish.[5] Wai`ahole Valley on O`ahu is named after the fish as well, where the ocean and the Wai'ahole River meet there are many fish there.
