Kuhlia sandvicensis
''Kuhlia sandvicensis'', the Reticulated flagtail, is a species of flagtail native to the waters around several Pacific islands where it occurs in fresh, brackish and marine waters. This species can reach in standard length. It is popular as a game fish and can also be found in the aquarium trade.
In Hawaii, the common name is ''āhole'' for the mature fish and ''āholehole'' for the juvenile. The name is probably derived from the word ''hole'' in the Hawaiian language which means "to strip away", since the fish was used to "strip away" evil spirits and as an aphrodisiac. A proverb was, "''He āhole ka ia, hole ke aloha''", meaning roughly "āhole is the fish, but love is restless". It was also sometimes known as ''puaa kai'', literally "pig of the sea". European visitors were sometimes called ''āhole'' due to their pale skin.〔Pukui, M. K. and S. H. Elbert. ''Hawaiian Dictionary''. 1986. pg. 8. ISBN 978-0-8248-0703-0〕
The current location of Kona International Airport, Keāhole Point, is named after this fish, because it was found in this area.〔Clark, J. R. K. ''Hawaii Place Names: Shores, Beaches, and Surf Sites''. University of Hawaii Press. 2002. ISBN 978-0-8248-2451-8〕
The name "Hawaiian flagtail" has also been used for ''Kuhlia xenura''.〔(Flagtails of Hawai'i: ''Kuhlia xenura'' and ''Kuhlia sandvicensis''. ) hawaiisfishes.com〕
