Hawaiian Hogfish

Bodianus albotaeniatus, the Hawaiian hogfish, is a species of wrasse native to the Hawaiian Islands. This species occurs on reef slopes at depths of from 3 to 160 m (9.8 to 524.9 ft) with the adults being found in deeper waters than the juveniles. This species can reach 55 cm (22 in) in total length with a maximum recorded weight of 1.8 kg (4.0 lb). It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and is also popular as a game fish. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.

Although considered a subspecies of Bodianus bilunulatus in the past, it is now treated as a distinct species in its own right.
