The Spiny ‘Ala‘ihi By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds The ‘Ala‘ihi is a fish with long spines. There are a lot of spines on this fish and it is very troublesome to scale these fish. It is said that these fish are very delicious, however because its so small, it only takes two bites to completely eat the fish. This fish lives in the coral heads of the sea and that is where they fought with all the fish that tried to eat it. Here is one of the tales about the ‘Ala‘ihi. Some of the ‘Ala‘ihi were living in the sea when a long strong current came in. When the seas were once again calmed there was another type of ‘Ala‘ihi! The original ‘Ala‘ihi that lived in that sea were ‘Ala‘ihi La&_macron; Kea. They looked like nice and calm fish. They didn’t have as many spines as the new arrivals. The strong current that came is how the ‘Ala‘ihi Kala Loa came. They were spiny and scary to look upon. How will these ‘Ala‘ihi get along? As they all met near the coral head the ‘Ala‘ihi La&_macron; Kea and the ‘Ala‘ihi Kala Loa looked at each other and saw some similarities. They had spines in the same places, but the Kala Loa had longer spines than the other fish. They circled each other just like they were dancing. They smelled each other’s fragrances, looked at each other’s scales, spines, color, and then one of them started to talk. “How can?” asked one old fish floating in the sea. “How did the Kala Loa get here? Where are they from?” And another old Kala Loa fish replies, “We came from Na‘e. The water was rough; there were lots of waves! The wind howled, the thunder rolled, lightning struck and we were carried by a big wave to this place.” “Oh no!” said the old native fish. “You guys will stay here with us, there is lots of food in this sea. Let us all live here.” The old Kala Loa fish answered, “There is lots of love in this land, let us stay here until another current takes us back to where we came from.” And that is how the different ‘Ala‘ihis came to live in Hawaiian waters. The fish were delicious, fished and eaten, and this kind of fish is loved till this day. |
