Remarks The current usage of this name covers juveniles and adults. As per reference 583, however, in old Hawaii the name of Akule (i.e., A-ku-le by syllables) was used for the adult growth stage of this species. In old Hawaii the other names of growth stages used in conjunction with this name were "Pa'a'a" and "Halalu or Hahalalu".
